Haha, thanks man! Wait until you see the finished guitar. 😅 Maybe you'll hate it, haha! The reveal video on the Thomann channel is coming out tomorrow and my Part 2 of the building process is coming on Thursday right here. Fingers crossed. 😆
2:26 - I think I've heard that melody before in one of your other videos. Can't wait for that gemstone to be digitally acquire-able some time in the future 😉 As always, a pleasure to watch you do what you're passionate about. Keep it up 🎸🔥
It’s a very fine line and difficult in my opinion to come up with a F style headstock that looks unique, well balanced and not like the million cheap knockoffs out there.Congrats on not falling off that fine line!
Thanks a lot! I really like this shape and yeah I didn’t want to go in the F direction with it. 😅 I’m pretty sure though that a few smaller makers or old forgotten brands used this shape already. Haha! It’s so hard to come up with something beautiful and new. Cheers!
Wow! Bravo!! (I don't know if is the right time but because you mentioned, you can use an old toothbrush to remove the dust around frets, pickups, the bridge etc)
Thx, for the First glimps, locking Forward to the Further steps, and Hey thx for the Tip of 3m masking Tape, i Wish you a hell of good responses to your built, i will skip this year and start over next year in Formentera 🤣
Wow Kris, that is going to be a masterpiece! Looks beautiful! I recently painted my very first electric guitar, a black Squier Bullet, to give it some new life. I painted it a color called creme de la creme, an off white enamel paint and I am so impatient I hardly hardly could wait half a hour between coats...can't wait to see your guitar when it is finished!
@@KrisBarocsi Finally finished watching the whole video and using the Dremel bit to do the dots was a great idea. I'm going to remember that for future projects.
From the mock-up sketch, you're painting over it with blue? Will you have to mask off all those little carvings?! 😲😖🤣 Blue+gold has a hint of Ukraine about it too.
Love the carving since u carved the body, maybe u should do it on the headstock too bro, so it really match. maybe carving the guitar name on the headstock and one of the motif similar to the one on the body. but, nice plan on the body 👍👍👍
Cool idea! Unfortunately I would not be finished on time -> The reveal video is gonna air on the Thomann channel on the 25th and the next day the second part of the building process goes online here. Not enough time! 😅 I might be tweaking it some more in the future though, you never know, haha!
What a hell of a good job! Hands down, you put a lot of work into it Respect for that! Congrats on the result, it looks amazing! Was the "base coat" just a regular clear coat spray paint or a special one? This is an awesome idea I think I'll do that as well next time on my project :) greetings
Love these kinds of projects and it's starting to look very good. The only things that prevents me to buy their Jazz master kit is the fact that they put a LP bridge and I want a jazzmaster tremolo and I haven't the tool to route it
Such a cool build, well done! What I struggled with in my build were the dry times between coat layers and paint layers and basically had to rush the whole project to the end. Did you mange to find lacquer and paint that had faster dry times?
Thanks a ton buddy! 🤗 I was using traditional instrument finishing nitrocelulose. Curing time is pretty long, depending on the thickness of the layer of course. I was able to put 2-3 layers on the guitar a day and waited a few days between the „big steps (base coat, color, clear coat). I‘m finally done with the build and it took me over 2 months. Mostly thanks to the wood carving. 😅
When painting you don't want a super smooth texture underneath the layer you're painting. The paint needs some "tooth" to grip into and be able to stick. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have issues with the paint not sticking in fee future...
Thanks so much! I’d love to do that but I don’t have any machines, not even a proper router at home. 😅 Ah yeah, and nearly zero time. Haha! This way it would take me years to make one. I will do it though, I can feel the urge already to do it.
I love the headstock shape very good idea and glad that you did not mimic the Fender shape. Looking forward for the electronics portion, knowing you I am sure that it will feature special voicing. Btw, is it too late already to leave it as a good top?
Too late for the gold top. I’m pretty far ahead of this now. 😅 Glad you like the headstock too, I’m in love with it tbh. The pickups are gonna be awesome but no super special voicings this time. I’m expecting interesting results, but it’s gonna be fairly traditional in terms of wiring. Cheers!
For some reason I thought you would fill in the carved holes with different colors of epoxy? Very cool work Sir , I don’t have the patience for that kinda kewl carving.
Now that would've been an awesome idea filling the carvings... Next time 😅 You're right about not even starting such a carving project. Man... the amount of hours that go in something like this. Holy shizzle! 😂
Thanks a lot! I don't think any other guitar than my tele can take the first place. 😅 But I have some cool plans with this. You'll know what right at the end of the journey. Cheers!
Man, the gold looks sooooooo good. With the woodcarving it reminds me of the Legend of Zelda :D Got the same kit, but I lack the skills for something so extravagant. Quick question: Did you sand and prime the body because of the carving? I was planing to spray over the sanding sealer since the instructions said that you can do that... Sorry if the question is stupid, I'm a noob
That's how the kits come out of the box. Clearance for the pickguard mounted elecktrickery, and P90 pickups are pretty fat too. It's all covered by the pickguard so it doesn't really matter.
Thanks a lot! All the cavities are there for a reason: pickups and electronics. The pickup routings are that wide so that if someone wants to put original Jazzmaster pickups in there they don’t have to re-rout everything.
Haha! That's alright. 😂 I wanted to offer some entertaining for the ears as well, not only the eyes. And quite honestly, it's much nicer listening to my tracks than my blabbering, haha! At least I hope so.
Wow! If there was a Thomann internal competition or something, you‘d be heading home with that voucher, bonus, extra holiday you name it. ✌️😄🤘
Haha, thanks man! Wait until you see the finished guitar. 😅 Maybe you'll hate it, haha! The reveal video on the Thomann channel is coming out tomorrow and my Part 2 of the building process is coming on Thursday right here. Fingers crossed. 😆
@@KrisBarocsi of course you’re right. Fingers are indeed crossed that you left the violet- and onion motifs on the porcelain, haha. 😉
Ambition, ambition ruined the world, but makes beautiful guitars ! Nice project.

Noooo, nonono don't stop here! Omg it's gorgeous. Can't wait to see the next episode
Haha, sorry for the cliff hanger. I hope you'll like the second part too. Cheers!
U are such an artist ! 360 degrees ! Kudos.
Aww man, you're way too kind! Thank you!
Loved the gold finish
Really nice! Can´t wait for the next video...
DUDE! That’s just amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome Kris!, i see that we have a similar taste in headstock, since mine looks very much like yours!
This, Mr. Kris, is AWESOME!!!
Aww, thanks so much! 🙌
@@KrisBarocsi You're very welcome. Can't wait to see the final result. I understand you want the gold to peak through the worn-off blue?
Wow! Bravo!! (I don't know if is the right time but because you mentioned, you can use an old toothbrush to remove the dust around frets, pickups, the bridge etc)
Awesome life hack! 🤩
Looking great so far!
Woot, it's gonna be a really nice guitar!
Thanks a lot Tomi!!
Looks beautiful!

Schaut super aus, freu mich aufs Endergebnis!
Danke! Ich auch, haha!
Looking great Chris
Thanks buddy!

Thanks man! Can’t wait to be done with the guitar. 💪
Glad to hear that you also fiddled on your guitar. As you said, it’s super rewarding.
Great vid Kris! Looking forward to the next step already🤤✨
Good to see someone else pulling out the printmaking/woodcarving tools. Enjoy some more of those in my builds!
Have fun making your guitar! 🙌
@@KrisBarocsi Finally finished watching the whole video and using the Dremel bit to do the dots was a great idea. I'm going to remember that for future projects.
Love it, this is gonna look amazing! Nicely done Kris 👍
That's some ambitious project Kris and you are handling it quite well ! 👏🏻
Thanks man! I'm giving my best. You should see the guitar now. 🤩 It looks very different and I'm not even done yet.
I don’t know why, but I’m so invested in this project even though it’s not my guitar. Keep it up man, your videos are so entertaining.
I really appreciate that man! I hope you'll dig the second part too very soon. Cheers!
Looking killer so far! Can't wait for the next video!
absolute viewing pleasure,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks a ton!!!!
Really cool project, the goldtop IS really awesome, can't wait to see the final color. 👍

Ooooooh yeah, this is looking amazing!!!! Your talent knows no bounds. Hope you’re well brother!!!
You’re way too kind man! 🤗 Not sure about the talent thing, it’s mostly patience and some experience I guess. 😅
@@KrisBarocsi and modest too? I knew there was a reason I loved you. Can’t wait to see the next video!!!
Awesome job so far
Thanks a lot man! 🙏
That gold is such a killer color!
The carving turned out great!👍
Bin gespannt wie's weitergeht.
Danke! Ich bin auch gespannt. Bin nicht ganz fertig. 😅
EZ drummer 2 vintage in action
Beautiful😜
🙌
Damn dude you know I love your builds!! This one will look incredible!!
Thanks so much my dude! I truly hope too that it's gonna be sweet, haha!
Love these kinds of projects and it's starting to look very good. The only things that prevents me to buy their Jazz master kit is the fact that they put a LP bridge and I want a jazzmaster tremolo and I haven't the tool to route it
Thanks man! I know what you mean with the bridge. On the other hand... you can easily put a bigsby on it. 😆

Looks stunning - the gold paint is working really well with the carving , looks like something you’d find hanging in a hallway in Versailles 😅
Thanks man! We’ll see about that at the end I guess, haha!
@@KrisBarocsi yeah I’m excited to see the guitars that are in the making right now - still working on mine though
That was cool Kris, it’s good to see you making some sawdust! Guitar building is addictive, fancy having a go at a full build from scratch? 😀
Thanks so much! I’d love to do that but I don’t have any machines, not even a proper router at home. 😅 Ah yeah, and nearly zero time. Haha! This way it would take me years to make one. I will do it though, I can feel the urge already to do it.

Looks great!!! I am at the challenge also with a ST KIT... I did relics!
Nice, good luck! Btw I’m not participating officially in the challenge, just doing it for fun and to hopefully motivate others. 👍

You're right about not even starting such a carving project. Man... the amount of hours that go in something like this. Holy shizzle! 😂
@@KrisBarocsi my fear is one bad slip of the chisel and Boom 🤯 it’s ruined… or reliced I guess. This is gonna be a sweet axe Sir
Oh, that's gonna be great!
Why don't you use the primer on the Headstock?
Love the gold 😍
Thanks Horschy! I used the primer on the headstock too just haven’t filmed it. 😅
@@KrisBarocsiMakes sense 🤦♂️
Looking forward to the relicing
👍👍👍
Looks fantastic. Will this be the new number 1?
Thanks a lot! I don't think any other guitar than my tele can take the first place. 😅 But I have some cool plans with this. You'll know what right at the end of the journey. Cheers!

Sorry if the question is stupid, I'm a noob
What was the first song you put on when you started drawing on the diamonds and dots? That was such a nice song!
Taking pre-orders yet? It's going to be killer
I wanted to make a metal machine with Emg’s out of that kit but when I saw that it has only 21 frets I quickly decided that I don’t need it
I just finished my HB JA Kit some weeks ago. This Video Made me thinking about reworking the Finish.
Are you going to Stick to those Pickups?
I bet your kit looks great! No, I have some insane Mojo Tone pickups here, I’ll be using those. 👌
Oh no! Brutal cliff hanger! Will Kris's dedication to craftmanship create a true masterwork or will there be troubles... stay tuned!!
No troubles yet. I'm not done with the guitar though so who knows... 😆 I hope you'll like the second part too, it's coming up soon.
beat me to it, I wanted to do a gold top deluxe tele :D
What's the pore filler you're using called?
Great work my friend.but why the massive cavity in the body??is it to reduce the weight?or electronics??❤👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
That's how the kits come out of the box.
Clearance for the pickguard mounted elecktrickery, and P90 pickups are pretty fat too.
It's all covered by the pickguard so it doesn't really matter.
Thanks a lot! All the cavities are there for a reason: pickups and electronics. The pickup routings are that wide so that if someone wants to put original Jazzmaster pickups in there they don’t have to re-rout everything.
@@KrisBarocsi cool thanks for the reply .its gonna be a beautifull guitar.
I thought they are precoated and ready to spray on. Why did you sand the prefinish?
Will we see this guitar at The Grand Jam?
Hey, I still have to figure out which is the second guitar I‘m taking there. The first guitar is pretty obvious. 😅
Beautiful project... But sorry, I was kinda distracted by some great tone....
Haha! That's alright. 😂 I wanted to offer some entertaining for the ears as well, not only the eyes. And quite honestly, it's much nicer listening to my tracks than my blabbering, haha! At least I hope so.
@@KrisBarocsi hahahaha (I'm not complaining about the blabbering... At all... But..... That tone.... ... There was some Andy Timmons in there)
looks so hot 🙏🏼🔥
What kind of tone wood is it made of? Lmfao Haha Haha foolish beast
