Homemade Guitar #1

[TheGuitarshooter]

did you have to buy the neck or what cause im planing to make an acoustic guitar out of a certain material and idk how im going to get the fret board to work because its gonna be all one piece

[gorlik123321]

hey dude im a pro bassist im 14 if u wanna talk send a messege

[StupidChicagoPunk]

shoud get a pickgaurd

[igimysterio]

eyy not bad dude looks like a nicer guitar

[kabanosi]

bridge pick-up is kinda far away from the bridge why is that?

[jckray]

@kabanosi Because my guitar teacher was the one who taught my how to build guitars and thats where he placed it and at that time i didn't know to much about guitars. If u look at my second homemade guitar the pick is placed much better.

[kabanosi]

@jckray ok wil have a look but the guitar is nice in furthers ways ;) just that bridge pick-ups catched my eye :P

[luke12omega]

cn u send me a list of things u needmto bulid a gutiar like parts

[jckray]

@luke12omega not to be a dick or anything but the list is really long and id probably forget stuff.

[DeepSnowBand]

@luke12omega I built a guitar recently. Heres a rough list for anyone to add to if they want Wood for neck, fingerboard and body (unless you buy the neck like i did) Pickups Nut Machineheads Truss rod Truss rod cover Bridge Scratchplate (optionable, i didnt use one because i made mine out of beutyfully mahogany and didnt want to conceal it) Wires Pots (vol and tone controls) Pickup switch Neck bolt cover jack socket strap buttons control plate strings

[allah211]

@DeepSnowBand hey can i message you about building guitars? i am really interested in making a 24 inch scale fender jaguar from warmoth.com

thanks

[DeepSnowBand]

@allah211 yeah, sure but i would recomend buying the book "Build your own Electric Guitar" by Melvin Hiscock (i think) thats what I used. You would have to scale down all the mesurements! Check out my band's channel, some of them are recorded on my homemande guitar. Im gonna manke a video about it soon!!

[themusic928]

i think it takes alot of guts to make a guitar you did pretty good for a second built

[TheBeliever09]

I love home made guitars. Hope you like the video response I posted. We are looking for good pick ups to use on our ome made guitars. The doule coil pick up we used on the video response I posted costs USD4.00. But I guess we got a good tone with that one.

[habbomoy123]

you shook me all night loOoNg bAbBy!!

nice vid :D

[matt420740]

Nice work :) Just wondering, whats the scale length of that guitar. The bridge looks really far away from the neck.

[jckray]

the scale length is 25 1/5. The body is small so thats why it looks like that.

[matt420740]

Oh okay. I thought you had a baritone going on for a minute there. I also checked out your 2nd build, which was very nice.

[jckray]

thanks

[hindusanta123]

kick ass guitar, i love it!!

[jckray]

[MRREAGAN1]

[reap62]

you did a good job, i like the strat look with the humbuckers and the curved head supposedly helps sustain but ive never heard a major difference
