How I Built Flying V

[iConverseMyLife]

:O It looks really amazing :D I always loved natural guitars :D I don't really like the headstock :/ but its your guitar :)

[kaisar1]

seems like you hammered that metal plate at the end just to get over with it

[keithgatti]

what were your dimensions for the body?

[roann999]

You can buy these in the USA at rmolsonguitars add the dot come or just do a search for R M Olson Guitars

You can get LP's SG's Flying V's and Explorers.

These are made out of real mahogany bodies not the cheap poplar or basswood.

The LP's have flamed maple tops and multi layer binding and come with set necks. You can even get ebony fretboard and a choice of fretboard markers!

HOW DO I BUILT V?

[rats94]

[AkatsukiArts]

[duncers79]

[JayDawg211]

PAINT IT

[frightman91]

pay 200 bucks better than do this shitty thing

[slipknot3332]

inspired

[Sweet4652]

Is the neck even angled to 6 degrees like Gibsons? I'm building one (Explorer). It's now in the paintshop. 2 weeks to go and it's ready :)

[manipulators2007]

100% handmade in USA

[DowntownTB13]

cool, awesom job, but i kina agree with deanguitarsown. the headstock is really nice, it looks good on the guitar, but it is used a little to much. anyways i love your guitar!!!

[MYEYESONECONOMY]

you don't use such a head on a v --'

[Imthegrffitymen]

dudde u have the wrong neck!!!

[Batikha99]

looks like you used soildworkds

[jvroach]

good job. i wonder if it sounds good. if i were you i would eventually paint it

[marineman825]

pretty good except that is the wrong neck, that is a strat style neck.

[Syklenut41]

Its still cool right.

[Reggaeman180]

cool

[metallicaboy93]

great job man!

[abeeedy]

its aight. not personally a fan of the wood finish.

[TheBenjamin879]

the grain and color of the wood is beautiful and the craftmanship is amazing

[paraglidermx]

Ahh,the finish needs wet sand and more urathane!!!Not shinney enough for my likins;-}

[JanSchwez]

look´s so good!

[nessmonsta]

how did it take you?

[nessmonsta]

i meant how long did it take you

[AsparksSHOW]

this is sooooo cool

[KohinOOr94]

guitar is looking great... but next time try to paint it xD

[ChocoboTheftAuto]

have you ever thought maybe he doesnt want to? XD

[KohinOOr94]

no xD

[dud8112084]

he didnt paint it he put on a stain and clear coat

[BassistBob81]

I see YouTube took down the audio. That's ok because as I watched this I was listening to Van Halen MP3's that I got with LimeWire.

[rockwizclown]

where did u buy the wood for this?

[natt6178]

Hi I really need to know about the les paul pickups, I've tried finding out about the speakers behind the pickups but can't find any information anywhere, What do they do? does it work? and if they are good where can I get some?

[thanosguitarist]

i think it has got small neck...

[silvanus14]

lol, don't you have anything else to do??? i love your guitars but... omg!!!!

[iglitchhalo2]

I assume that you have never built a guitar? You have no idea how addictave it is! try it for yourself and then tell me im wasting my time.

[silvanus14]

ok, i'm sorry i've never built a guitar, your right. i guess that i didn't thought well when i wrote the comment

[mouloudo]

how about the les paul part 2? :)

[guitarpronot]

DO THE LES PAUL PART2!!!

[andrewdoeshair]

@iglitchhalo2 Agreed :)

[Shredderistic6]

@iglitchhalo2 plus, it really is only like a 5ish hour project total, divide that amount of work into like a couple weeks? thats not a lot of time...

[philipthedude]

@iglitchhalo2 your so right, after completing my first one i had this ich to build a better one and top myself, its such a great feeling to creating something personal with your own hands!

[sixilian]

@silvanus14 this guy is stylish ( thanks for the plans) i'll get the marks and do mine :>

[dorklord101]

paint it it would look even better nice job

[Zayk54]

Oh

FUCK WORNG VIDEO! SO SORRY

[Zayk54]

Dude, Dont post this shit, its not cute...I hope he breaks the guitar,

[bloeregard]

yo wtf is your problem? do you know how fucking hard it is to build a guitar? especially the way he did it without a router and shit? go be a man and learn how to do something productive with your hands that doesn't involve touching yourself.

[Zayk54]

Heh....Dident you read my comment? I posted this on the wrong video, i ment to post it on one of those "2 year old guitar player" ones,

I acctualy KNOW how hard it is to build a guitar, I've built one....

[bloeregard]

oh my bad dude, i just read a lot of ppl dissing home-made guitars when well, you know how hard it is. my apologies.

[Zayk54]

No problem, it happens, no big deal

[NoVanity1]

wow, you didn't even use a router?

[GutWrench95]

Nice, but does it play well?

[ssteiyne]

Awesome!!  Nice work.

[lee2by4]

I prefer them to have spikes ;) But it looks awesome man! Great job!

[DeanGuitarsOwn]

the head stock is over used and ugly.

[iglitchhalo2]

So's your face

[pr0digy3]

What song is this by Van Halen? Is it Eruption??

[puertonicob]

no really! duh

[kirbyhh]

Paul gilbert. if i rememba right.

[IndianMetalHead333]

oh bouyment XD

[snickers763]

@iglitchhalo2 owned

[daplayer]

@iglitchhalo2 That's my insult :O

We think alike, are we related?

[Redsox07rbeast]

first of all, iglitchhalo2's response was completely childish and unneeded. But seriously, the headstock is his choice. If you dont like it, go and build your own showing what you prefer. Dont just go around hating.

[killemall1983]

man, you need to get yourself a router and some templates. theres nothing that looks as unprofessional as messed up routs.

[haleyattack]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[zombietc]

what program did you use?

[iglitchhalo2]

you mean for the CAD? i used solid edge

[zombietc]

where can i get that at dude if you can help me out im building a guitar aswell and i want to kinda get a good rough draft of how it might look.

[Decker695]

is putting the wires together hard cause i really wanna make one

[badjester123]

cool looks old school!

[tyenmike]

Yuk!

[WakeUpDead1200]

Awesome!

[leafmanexe]

Yo Aaron you make alot of guitars can you tell me if I build a LP Junior with Pine will it catch on fire from the pickup? If so should I pad the pickup cavity with rubber or some other non conductive material.

[iglitchhalo2]

fire! are you serious? most pickups output less than 1V, it could not set off flammable gas let alone dry wood, so would have no problem there. Apart from that pine would be a very bad wood because of its low density & weight, this would give short sustain and poor tone. You need dense heavy wood for a good guitar eg: mahogany, maple, oak, walnut, teak, alder, ash, swamp ash. I also think you need to read more about the workings of electric guitars because of your safety concerns,...............

[iglitchhalo2]

......i would recommend 'The guitar handbook by ralph denyer'.

[toshbrd5]

awesome u should make a video of you playing it cuz it probably sounds really good

btw keep makin guitars but finish yr les paul

[MiniMightyMan96]

tis beautiful

[scootermaster2343]

what was that guitar solo at the end?? it kinda sounded like van halen cuz of the tapping

[pbneo1994]

that whole song is ERUPTION by Van Halen

[scootermaster2343]

thnx

[pbneo1994]

no problem

[moob56]

ya, gibsons r nice but not for wat they charge for em. i personally like schecter cuz theyve got great guitars at good prices

[madjpittaway]

eddie van halen-eruption. legend

[Krashulka]

nb ,check out my homemade restored body for my Ibanez 1989 EX-360

[rocklegand247]

dude u baught it and tok it apart then u put it back on duh

[toshbrd5]

learn how to spell

[Lobstarbudy]

fuck off grammar nazi

[chrismortloch92]

cad is such a bitch

[Ryche9]

does this actually play? if so, im amazed.

[cta223]

this dude has no idea what he is talking about!

FAG!!

[1987ian]

the tuning knobs look like they came off of a 1970's 8-track!-awesome guitar!

[seantherocker11]

fenders and gibsons r for 2 differnt styles of much u dumb shit

[DEATHbyRAZORBACK]

fender does make dual humbucker guitars. you idiot. give up, shut up, and go away.

[esteway]

You should really just shut up. Everyone who reads your comment can tell your just an idiot who knows nothing about guitars.

[vulta01]

in my opinion i think fenders are better quality than gibson

[TheVictimsX]

vulta. suck my left nut. gibson is the BEST. fender sucks. they make copies of the same guitar with the same shit. gibson has many diffrent pickups to chose from and better shapes.

[tragictravistie]

honestly, you think gibson makes a larger variety? although i do love that one set neck 2 vol 2 tone, 3way HH guitar they make. the one with the tuneomatic bridge and stoptailpiece. remember that one?

[diamonddust22]

Gibson is just another guitar like Fender, but they happen to be classic guitars.

[TheVictimsX]

fender uses single coils too much. single coils suck

[diamonddust22]

Fenders are an amazing guitar for sure, but I find that certain guitars sound different for certain songs.

[bobothegranade]

nice

[nblax41]

hows it sound?

[iglitchhalo2]

Sounds amazing! Don't ask me to demonstrate, i don't play so well, you will have to take my word for it

[carmaniac1993]

wellll...real gibson flying V's cost more than $1,000..so yea

ima make a flying V my self

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

(carmaniac)

gibson faded v is like 700 or something and the 3 pickup faded v is like 800 i think.

[jks2]

yeah a sg faded is about $750,- here in holland

[scumbagcarrol]

Cool...although if a flying V HAS to have a trem I THINK(not demand) it should be a floyd locking or kahler...But I think V's don't need trem's there perfect with fixed =)

[d00derson]

personaly, i think that if you're going to build a guitar, you should build an original design, because you can't make a gibson copy that would be as high of quality of a gibson. if you want a flying v, then buy a gibson made one.

[killemall1983]

that is very very NOT true. gibsons are not really that high of quality. you are paying for the name. my guitars i build are far better than gibsons, and you can make any options you want and change them to whatever you like.

[iglitchhalo2]

Gibsons are defiantly good guitars but are not worth the money, you are right it is just the name people pay for. something i would criticise both Gibson and fender for is using very basic pickup selections, i think that the best tones come from more unusual split coil combinations.

[diamonddust22]

I believe you are right my friend. My guitar player says Gibson's today aren't worth paying $2000 dollars worth.

[iglitchhalo2]

lets all start a protest by buying plywood guitars, then top brands will be forced to reduce prices, spread the word, remember you heard it here first.

[diamonddust22]

I agree, lot of top names selling shit these days, that's why I'll be making my own line of concept guitars to give people the best.

[tragictravistie]

welll fender is coming out with some very forward thinking wirings. the jaguar, mustang are old examples, but they now make teles with series and out of phase sounds, and strats with all the parralel pickup combinations and series tones. although i have a fender jag hh which i did some mods to with give it a total of 9 pickup combinations. youre not limited to stock wiring. also this guy called deaf-eddie makes a rotary switch for strats which gives 11 diferent pickup combos.

[diamonddust22]

Sound incredibly intersting, thanks for that post brother sounds intriguing

[diamonddust22]

You are so right my friend. You are paying for the name.

[Jasoniscool1]

really nice.

[baboonslpk]

wow

[Matt123ttam]

that was kool

[teenspiritgod]

i like it but i rekun he should have treated the scrath plate coz it doesnt look very good

[Meteotrance]

For electromagnetic shield i use Graphit bomb it's very good but also aluminium paper is good too ^^

[Good1Embiko]

try to remember the wood by colour and structure!

[iglitchhalo2]

It was teak

[iglitchhalo2]

Scroll down

[morrigoth]

Very good job man!

[soulforgedbg]

Liked the metal shield... i'll copy it :)

[conor1148]

this was your first guitar? VERY NICE! how much did the whole thing cost you? excluding tools.

[ZephMan13]

I would love to know how much it costed to, I'm about to make a RG.

[iglitchhalo2]

I think it cost about £150, not including the teak for body, it was free

[tomperdepom]

maybe ill make a "v"ish guitar 2 from parts of my cheapass guitar :P never use that one anywhay

[SurrenderOrDie65]

hahah love the iron maiden font on the headstock.

[redsoxhater2468]

Nice guitar, i just don't like the headstock al that much.

[iglitchhalo2]

nither do i, but what can you do ?

[matthew65]

the headstock is beautiful especially with the writing

[spsigvee]

love the iron maiden font!!!

[GreatRussianHellfire]

haha, it looks like a piece of furniture... very nice! well done! :)

[unicyclematt]

Nice one! I've just finished making my flying V. Have a look at my video if you want. I love your customised headstock and the metal scratchplate!

[iglitchhalo2]

its eruption by van halen

[Exophobia]

what music is that in the back? :P

Nice vid

[iglitchhalo2]

if you look carefully at the finished picture you will notice that i curantly only have 5 strings, il post a video of it being played as soon as i get more strings. ps look out for 'how i built my les paul' coming soon

[bmx00bergstein]

is it only me that finds it kind of strange that he can build a custom guitar from scratch, and not have a full set of strings? lol no offence man.

[forsterfb]

it's been known to happen.
