This guitar was completed a few years ago and wanted to recompile this into an artsy timelapse. trying to pull together some of my old work into better faster audience friendly vids. This is a multi laminate guitar made from Mahogany and Maple like a chris craft boat from back in the days. The Gibson firebird is iconic and this is my take on an awesome guitar.

That was awesome watching that guitar being built. That is one of those guitars you would be immediately drawn to in a store, studio, on stage.
thanks man!
This guy must be good, he has ten fingers.
Whilst I don't like the firebird shape, I have to say that this guitar turned out very well and the craftsmanship of it looked incredible. It looks like a great guitar to play too which is one of the most important factors.
This is the coolest Firebird copy I’ve ever seen! I also love the offset fret inlays! The neck-through construction reminds me of my Ibanez Musician guitar. This Firebird has tons of character to it! I’m a fan of the bird’s eye maple fretboard as well!
Wow!! Great craftsmanship and the time lapse was amazing to watch!
Beautiful build Derek! I remember this build, very nice!
Thanks for sharing this with us, Pam
Incredibly Awesome Big D! Thank you for making this video for us.
Another Beautiful Piece of Art!!!!
Wow! What an undertaking, going with the true neck-through design! I love the organic quality of the laminates and the natural finish. This guitar looks so special, it needs a name.
Amazing and a super fun video of your build and ever-impressive skills. Wow.
I remember that build, and thoroughly enjoyed the videos.
How cool, I JUST listened to Justin play this song, and lo and behold! No wonder your work is so inspired. Great job!
I thoroughly enjoyed your craftsmanship. Thanx
That's a real beauty!👍😎🎸🎶
Looks amazing bro! Great job!! 🎸🎸👍
I love firebird . Your version is awesome!
I could definitely get behind your channel for life
Wow super interesting to see a neck-thru guitar some together from start to finish. Firebird shap deserves more love. Great job and thanks for the vid!
I don't comment often, but I have to say- this is a damn fine guitar. Very beautiful. Well done!
One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen
You said it man! Disgustingly beautiful!
Beautiful build
this may be my favorite guitar that you have made, great job.
I agree
Beautiful guitar nice work
I really like firebirds and yours is great !
Looks great
Wow very nice!!!!
Fantastic!
Thats a awesome job on that derek !! It reminds me of what Vantage did back in the day with there multi laminate guitars they put out !! :)
Nice work !
That is a beautiful guitar 🙌✌️👏 awesome job mate
Nice job! I am a luthier hobbyist but I have only made bolt on neck models so far. I have been planning to do a neck through model and I picked up some tips from your video. Good attention to detail, craftsmanship and good looking guitar.
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
I love the anticlimax at the end!
LOL!!
Probably my favorite build!
Like I have said before: make a range of these and I'll take 1! Preferably with 3 p90's and maybe even string through would be awesome.
Awesome love it.
Beautiful guitar! Your video is very inspiring to me :)
Magnifique , quel beau travail
Wouaaââââhhh.... Great work !!!... It's a very beautiful guitar. I like it.
In my side I will set up a Floyd Rose Pro or a Lo Pro Edge. It's only a question of taste, my taste.
Anyway, this is a huge, great and very beautiful guitar Firebird.
Bravo !
Phil from Dunkirk
DOPE AF 😍
Hey dude,
You should put the link to the full vid in the description !
I remember this build... Epic !
Very cool.
Your a true guitar maker craftsman
nice one!
this is the exact type of vids i like
Come on man! It's at LEAST 10X harder than you just made it look. Another gorgeous guitfiddle Big D!!
Like your jobs so much. ^^
(FC/from deep forest of North Thailand. ^^)
right from the start you make NECK THROUGH! no cheezy junk ass bolt on! right on man.
Only Buy Genuine Chris-Craft. Seriously though... that's really sweet Derek. Nice work. Cheers! Chris.
Stunning!
I'd love to see someone make this and route away the sides so it looks like it has wings. That would make it look even better in my opinion.
Time lapse rules!
I'm traveling through time!
Beautiful guitar body/neck. FYI Waterlox will keep,hardening for about 2-3 months, depending on ventilation, humidity, number of coats and temp.
Wonderfull
weird coincidence - or maybe youtube is reading my mind now - but i have a long piece of old broken furniture mahogany i had planned on using to make a neck through firebird... im currently working on a surf themed solid body electric ukulele with a 3/4 through neck (its an experiment), and an LP junior doublecut (i plan on painting it candy apple pelham blue, which might not work out... we'll see)
i like your choice of tele style metal pot knobs...
i suppose the multi-piece laminate neck design eliminates the need for a scarf joint... thats very interesting - i'll keep that in mind for future builds.. thanks!
Neck through, check.
Non-angled tuners, check.
Mini humbuckers, check.
This is actually more of a Firebird than what Gibson does nowadays. Sadly.
Great job!
Great build! I like glue-lam bodoies the best, I believe there stronger! I wanna make one now!!
Very Very Very Very beatifullllll 🇧🇷
Nice
Sweet
Superb looking guitar. What about a coloured laminate next time blue or green maybe.
Achava que o braço era uma peça de madeira e o corpo era outra peça de madeira, ambos os pedaços colados depois. Nunca imaginei que fossem tantas partes, várias camadas de madeiras diferentes todas coladas. Tanta cola assim deve interferir na sonoridade.
Mas ficou muito bonita no final. Adorei ver em time lapse.
Quanto tempo será que levou terminar esse trabalho?
Great work!
Keep up the great work tho i fux with it
Ficou bonito 🎸👍👍🇧🇷
I LOVED how thin the guitar was. I was like ''FINALLY '' a Guitar that's not thick at all. How much would it cost Me to have You make Me one of these Thin Firebirds?
Just don't run it over with a crane
Love the video as always. Beautiful guitar but a little busy for my personal tastes. Just me though.
wavey 🖖
凄いなー
beautiful‼️
NICE
🔯☮️🇯🇵🤘👍
Great video, excellent craftsmanship. I only wish you would have made your own body shape design.
Absolutely gorgeous work!
Serious question though: how does the guitar stay together being made of so many different pieces of wood opposed to being made of say, 3 pieces?
Hi Derek I just watched this video for the first time that is an amazing job do you sell the guitars your make ?
I didn't quite understand what you meant by tuners biting, but I really love these tuners on my own Firebird simply because how easy it is to change the strings, tune up, and tune down.
the thicker strings pulled down on the tuner edge
@@bigdguitars Like the tip of the string catching on the lip of the tuner or something? If that's the case, I usually leave quite a lot of string sticking out, so it would be much easier to restring if needed (here are the pics: imgur.com/a/rlGG76p).
The only gripe I have with these tuners is that you really need to pinch the string real hard or they'll be slipping all the time (especially the unwound ones).
Also, forgot to say, great job on the guitar. Really educational! 👍
The beginning with all those laminate strips makes me drool...
sweet
I want to build one with a HH configuration and a double locking floating whammy bridge.
What size drill bit did you use to go from inside the back panel to the electronics and what size between the two pick-ups?
Es hermosisimaaaaaa te felicito que arte tenes mentis manos lo unico es que a mi me gustaría el puente más alejado.
Longer vids with multiple parts and more details are fine too. They target a different kind of audience.
I think you need both the timelaps and the longer ones.
Hey man awesome video. So how long did it take for you to complete it? What was the cost?
D'you plan on doing the LP restore? This series is beauuuuuutiful!
Actually the one that got me hooked on you!
I didn't think of that one yet... I just edited the kevin bond one for the release next month. En minor is coming playing a bigdguitars: philanselmo.com/2019/03/07/en-minor-will-debut-at-psycho-las-vegas/
I had no idea such craftsmanship went into a guitar. I wonder how much this puppy cost
Beautiful job! Just curious tho, what’s the name of the second song?
Go with Sprezels or Graph tech ratios. Babzic Full contact TOM bridge. Wrap around ???
Have you ever used weldwood glue ? Strongest glue available for building boats.
😍😍😍😍
Totally awesome. But the time lapse speed gave me serious anxiety lol!
'Bout time!
🤩
do you have a video talking about neck pitch?
👏👏👏
Your work s beautiful !
Are You for hire?
I have a neck thru Flying V style guitar with a Carvin neck. It is also butcher block. Could use a few tweaks.
👌
What a great job. Did you use yellow wood glue instead of CA to glue the metal frets into the fretboard? If you did, why would you make that choice?
RG Pops it works g8, lubricates the frets as they go in .. gordon smith have been doing it that way since 1974 without issues
Have you ever built a multi-scale guitar? how about a baritone multiscale ax?
Great Job! But man,I don't know much about eletric guitar,but I play acoustic since 2011,and I know that solid woods give a very better tone and overall quality. So wouldn't be better If the guitar was made from fewer pieces? Aniway,your work is amazing
yea maybe. just thought this looked cool
😻
Where did you get your neckthru template?
All that work and you cheaped out on the pick ups and hardware? I was also really hoping your were going to vintage burst it like a firebird. Right now it looks like a cutting board with cheap pickups.
Ay yo how did u get on these playlists?
How it sounds?
