Homemade guitar sound demo

[Calebm90]

Beautiful instrument

[2guitars1purpose]

Wow, you can seriously make guitars for a living, unless you do that already lol. Make one with your own design next time :)

[Robin18us]

You made building a guitar look easy. Where did you get the experience to build a guitar and have it turn out so well on your first try?

[Quaaludedude714]

Great Job Man :) QC

[keithalan10]

Awesome, loved all the vids and you and it sound great. do you still build?

[27AznBoy]

good job...and you made that yourself thats bloody awesome...

[vahidanwari]

this is the first video on youtube that has got so many likes and 0 dislikes. I like that.

I wish there was flag button for awesomeness :)

[SmileysRevenge100]

How much did it end up costing you to make that?

[bshook105]

That was simply wonderful! i have always been interested in building instruments and love wood working. But i cant play! Great job and it sound awesome! incredible set of videos

[koroseclana]

great ! how can you make a guitar sound like that ? mine sounds too much soft :(

[alpet07]

This sounds absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to build my own guitar one day. I just hope it will sound as cool as yours! :)

Many thanks for the inspiration,

Holly xx

[daytonbrandi]

Thumbs up if you think he should post a vid of in now in 2011

[woofwoofwoofie]

I personally haven't ventured beyond repairing broken guitars yet. But you're certainly giving me a lot of inspiration to move on to the next level with my aspiration.

This is really impressive man!

[woofwoofwoofie]

Sweet!

:~D

[emanuelsuperford]

You've done an amazing job building that guitar... My homemade guitar is nothing compared to that... you're guitar is just right, it has a really great sound. I really like it!

I have seen some negative comments on your other videos... do not take them into consideration because they don't know anything about building guitars and you sure do!

[eldj30]

nice guitar...wat did u use for da freatboard?

[stas3741]

HELLO! ANSWER ME, PLEASE, HOW OLD SHOULD BE ROSEWOOD FOR PREPARING A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR?

[o2su2tou]

Dude, I've seen your whole serie about how you did your homemade guitar... WOW !!! You rock !!! I dream to make my own guitar too and hope I'll reach 10% of yours... You're skilled man !!! Great job !!! Can't wait your next videos ;)

[freakvan911]

how well does it stay in tune? amazing guitar by the way your series was brilliant thankyou!

[rightwingted]

Gibson should make that.

[VagueCarmine]

whatever the sound or the appearance is, what matter's it was made with love and enthusiasm... i watched this kid's video on how he hand-crafted his home made guitar. that was cool... it's like our God shaping and giving life to men... God bless kid! ^_^

[paskiiainen]

This sounds like Elvis - Suspicious Minds to me.

[moucon]

Well not only have you become a good luthier - you're also a good player. Kudos my friend - at your age I too had the 'shop bug' - but I was building speaker cabinets and road cases. You went right to the difficult stuff.  Any plans to actually launch a line of custom guitars?

[aninstrumentalvision]

Sounds great! I am impressed!

[awddwas]

that is amazing

[Firetruck171]

Wow, that sounds amazing !

[zmhmproductions]

nice guitar..... where or how did you get the neck

[MrMichaelEdie]

Hi! Do you take orders?

[TheAllenmanabat]

hey! how much money do you spent in that guitar?

[PerfectParasite]

sounds really nice! I'd be extremely proud.

[davey4557]

Did you apply any finish to the guitar?

[ABRKID420]

jesus the sound hole is huge

[Heavimetall89]

Звук какой то сухой. :)

[SiXsTrInG2287]

Amazing job!

[Canaveral305]

Wow, I'm amazed, great sound !! Beautiful instrument, congratulations !

[classicalmannick101]

i think this guitar responds to the fingerstyle playing much more. quite even across the strings when doing so as well. Well done for a great build!

[sdhughes36]

Very Niceman. Im a 214 owner but thats pretty damn nice.Homamande huh!WOW.

[kitchenknifeset]

if your planning on being a luthier youve got it made

[sabbathdisciple94]

did you make it all, like cut the woods, or did you buy one of those prefabbed parts that you just assemble

[rsncaronte]

Nice job! Did you make the fretboard or you just bought it? I'm building an aluminum-body guitar and I hope it will sound good, even though materials used are not very expensive. The only problem by now is the fretboard, but everything else is quite good.

[JmJones2]

you say its quite quiet? getting rid of that big ebony bridge and putting a smaller rosewood one on should help that. also how thick was your top? what is the lower bout width? and how wide was your bracing? the guitar looks quite small so a 0.100" top with one finger brace and maybe one tone bar might enable a better tone and volume in the future. :D at least your first was alot better than mine was! have you started #2 yet?

[benstov2]

looks like the highest fret don't seem to touch the 6th string... i think the width of the neck is wrong...

[BilloT5]

Yes, definately a guitar sound!! :-) Hey you did a fine job on your guitar!

Billo

[kd8ux]

bravo !

[TheSketchar]

What adhesive you used to glue the parts?

[treatb09]

in guitar building theres two main glues, aliphatic resin(carpenter glue), and hide glue.

[followfornothing]

I love it!!!

[Supercellar]

This is great man....i feel like singin while you playin.

[linktwo]

What a sweet sound :D

I wish I could make one~

[miwsher]

It sounds really, really amazing! I wish I could build my own. lol

[DiamondUrine]

The resonance and sustains are awesome. Great projection and a full sound. Love it. Watched the entire series tonight, it was great. Kudos

[alexxvall]

Wow, it sounds amazing for a home made guitar!

*Love the sound

[mitchrich6]

Thank you very much for posting these videos. It makes life so much easier when I'm building when I can watch someone else building. I'm 14 years old and I have built 2 electric guitars so far and I am now in the process of planning a half size octave acoustic.

You keep up the good work and ignore the discouraging comments(Isn't it suprising when people 3 times our age get annoyed because they can't do something as well as we can?). Amazing sound on that guitar by the way.

[murlyn777]

how would you repair major chips, cracks, and the back part of a guitar? my brothers is in need of serious repair, so he just gave it to me. wood glue? awesome job on the guitar. i wish i knew how to build my own like that, but i would probably do electric guitars. thanks.

[bigmuddy1]

@murlyn777 There are lots of good guitar repair videos on You-tube. Most repairs can be done with simple tools and careful work.

[zapz2101]

wow you man are amaizing or better yet God's gifting in you wow. i hope to do the same one day built my very own acoustic and electric guitars

do you plan on putting electronics in it?

[sabiftw]

sounds very nice and it was well worth your time

[CaMiNdFrEaK19]

whats the name of the song?

[omer246]

it sounds just AWESOME!

[minil0v3r]

very nice and balanced tone! the playing is great too! I like how the treble still styands out against the bass strings.

[dirtin28]

Rob it's not really shaped for terrific lows.

Yukon I'm sure it sounds better than the 214. The 214 is Laminate, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you've got better than the 314 :P. I'm 19 and just finished my first acoustic guitar that I built and it's a rosewood dread and it sounds way better than my Taylor 214.

[YukonStrings]

In any case, it sounds different that a 214 because of the different body styling. The tone is really shaping up nicely on it but even so comparing it with the 314 seems nearly redundant because both are great, yet very different, depends really on the application. I like them both.

[stas3741]

@dirtin28

[markokov]

@dirtin28

Mic is not good, that's why you don't hear clear lows!

[RobbRR1]

i dont like the lows

[alexohisyellow]

i love it's tone. it sounds really nice and bright. :]

i'd say it sounds even better than my taylor 214ce. D: im quite jealous now XD

[YukonStrings]

I doubt it, I own a Taylor 314ce which has more balanced and clearer tone compared to this one, this one is very quiet compared, but has more a woody sound than the Taylor. I would rate a Taylor higher than this, but then again I know the guitar well.

[alexohisyellow]

lol. i guess the sound is all a matter of opinion and preference. but i really like the tone. :]

but honestly, the 314ce is so much more better than my 214ce. X] kinda explains the 700 dollar difference between their pricing.

[Smoonyheim]

the 214 has many many clear differences tho that are the reason for the price difference so it makes sense that the benefits of having a solid peice of wood for the sides and back (i think the back as well) rather than laminate is a huge difference in sound, often people dont realize how much of a difference laminate will sound when compared to quality sides and backs that arent laminate

[MunkyRider]

wow. that was really good. I am also thinking about building my first guitar. did you build from a kit or scratch?

[ninetysevenford]

one of the nicest sounding guitars i've ever heard: props

[antitaleban]

Beautiful guitar and beautiful tone!

[alexohisyellow]

wow. that homemade guitar sounds really nice.

i bet that would be $1000+ range if you were to sell it :]

[randomnaznboy]

i love that guitar!!!

[thejugglenaut91]

god that sounds really good, have you considered making a nylon?

[michaelcovert1]

nice

[gtq838]

I think that first song is hobo lullaby...

[stewmacman]

crisp yet chunky! the notes seem to be more rounded now......strumming has excellent sound...seems to be breaking in! awesome!

[CountryBoy2380]

im planning on bulding one soon. i bought a book and it has everything u need to know.

im sure this kid knows what he's doin cus his shop had everything

[TuskAmerica]

Sounds and looks great!

[chriswattel]

That was Awesome yukon =)

[Darthmagnet]

Did you teach yourself how to build this? I have been looking at lutherie schools lately. Did your father teach you? how did you learn, because this was not accident. It sounds very good! plz respond.

[urbansheepdog]

That's sounding fantastic! You must be really chuffed with it! Really good video series and great ingenuity with the building!!

[Howlinblind]

what do you charge to build one of these?

[blahblah55555]

where do you get all the parts

[behradng]

go to google and search stewart mcdonald they have everything you need

[WalkRunning]

This is a truly amazing achievement.

You should be really proud!

[guerno1]

pretty amazing.

if i ever can build a guitar like yours i would be very happy. i'm trying at this moment but i never worked on wood before and it's very hard. but your video's gave me some new courage :)

thanks

[chbrules]

What songs was that you were playing in the first part of the vid?

Great job! I hope one day I could be as good of a luthier.

[YukonStrings]

the tune was just a little jam I came up with

[prophecy525]

wow I saw the whole series and you did an awesome job. If I may, I suggest you make a classical cutaway guitar for your next project.

[nickjoekevin4]

That is truly a work of art. you should be VERY proud. someday you should open a guitar making business and put yukon strings on all of the headstocks. =)

how did you make the sides of the guitar? you didn't show it on your other videos

[raiderslax22]

hell id buy!!!!!!!

[IggyArtist]

Amazing work! If I had of seen this before your other videos of you making it I would have scoffed. I hope that one day I will be able to do the same. ;) Good job!

[YukonStrings]

thanks man! Yeah haha, what kind of people actually build guitars these days? Oddballs like me I guess lol

[IggyArtist]

Well I'll be sure to make myself one someday before I go off to school. I guess it depends on if I fined the time.... Anyways, again, good job :D.

[ballackisdabest]

awsome man i watched u build this and it sounds amazing

[ballackisdabest]

love it man

[opdage]

Amazing. Where did you learn the skills to build this?

[YukonStrings]

I learnt off the internet and just by building stuff out of wood. My dad had to hide his tools when I was a little boy because I would take them and build stuff and then loose them, haha

[AmpTechMD]

I was really hoping you would play it for us after watching every single step and waiting for new videos to be uploaded. Once finished the anticipation of hearing it was intense. Sounds beautiful, Thank You for letting us watch you build this!

[iorixs]

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!

thanks for the posting that , good sustain eh?

[Nicklassan]

wow! it turned out real great! a very good job on making that guitar!
