Cherry Humbucking Telecaster

[marciomesquita]

Nice job @korgrandi ! I saw this guitar live months ago but had never watched the making of.

[woodyamsterdam]

I applaud you! You're obviously a man of many hidden qualities hehehe!

[korgrandi]

@woodyamsterdam They're not hidden. It's just that you never looked beyond my pretty face, hahaha.

[woodyamsterdam]

@korgrandi

That must have been indeed the case I guess lol!

[kdc300z]

yea! How did I miss this vid! Nice man! looks like a good neck joint. great routing. nice jig too!

[korgrandi]

@kdc300z I did quite a fixing job on the neck joint. I think you saw it in a previous vid, was loose at first. Glued in a strip of cherry, then worked carefully with the chisel.

I needed the jig as a 20" planer, but you probably know what it's for, as I didn't invent anything, just copied the idea from somewhere.

[ColonelBuckshot]

Hey you finished it, nice one. It looks and sounds cool. Bass next then?

[korgrandi]

@ColonelBuckshot

Tempting, but at the same time I want to make it right. I only did the body on this one. If I do another one, I'll do it all. I'm still trying to figure out if I want a neck through body or a glued on neck (dont want to make a bolt on). Haven't decided plenty of stuff actually like the wood I'd use coz my guitar is very heavy. So I want to take my time before I start buying material. I already have two basses, so there's no rush :)

[jonnda]

Good job, cherry is one of my favorite words to work with. Thanks for letting me know you made one.

[korgrandi]

@jonnda Hey thanks for dropping by and checking my guitar out.

[MartinUndertaker]

awesome

[Adje1960]

Wow dude that's amazing. Very nice guitar and skills duuuuuuuuuude!

[korgrandi]

@Adje1960 Great skill indeed. I know at least 10 other riffs like that, hehehe.

[Adje1960]

@korgrandi I meant building skills duuuuuude! I know you suck on the guitar hahahaha! j/k

[LouddrummerO]

Wow! Thats an amazing skill man. I was always interested in building acoustic drums, but shell constructions requires specilized machines/tools, custome rules, because you made it, its like homemade food verses Mcdonalds:) Keep building and playing!

[korgrandi]

@LouddrummerO Yeah I can imagine a bit. I figure you could build a shell in the manner of a barrel or in a laminated way. But I'm just guessing here.

[sonicsteev]

sweet and run to the hills!

[SlackBabbathTs]

hahaha nice! Loved when you started playing NotB. Anyway, sweet guitar man, sounds great ; just don't leave it hanging on the wall somewhere, give it a go once in a while :)

[korgrandi]

@SlackBabbathTs I'll try to do that. After a few years of playing bass, really weird to play a guitar. It's all so delicate: strings are soft and close together.

[Asphyx123]

Damn, that's a heavy sounding Tele. Nice work there. So you switching over to guitar now? =)

[korgrandi]

@Asphyx123 The only gear I own for guitar is a Boss Metal Zone. Not gonna switch. Pretty useful to have a guitar around for recording original stuff for example. I didn,t like either of the ones I had. Now I have one, but I like it.

[darrenandsarah123]

awesome guitar dude, and don't think I didn't see that beer at 0:35

[TheAcousticBassist]

nice man, are you naming it on the head stock?

[korgrandi]

@TheAcousticBassist I dunno. Probably not since it's not my design or anything....

[TheAcousticBassist]

@korgrandi it's not your design, but you crafted it. I'd put a name on it. Just put the telecaster name in smaller print under the name you give it. i.e Korgrandi - telecaster. Find a nice font.

[mymassivehead]

Sweet. 

[simplyguys]

Nice.

[Spector2112]

Massive props man! That is such an incredible job.

[korgrandi]

@Spector2112 Thanks man. It's a very gratifying job.

[segundarepublica]

This was Great!

[sageguitar70]

WOW!! You got skills man! Nice woodworking! I never got past making ashtrays in woodshop class in 8th grade! The guitar is beautiful and sounds AWESOME!! Great job!!

[korgrandi]

@sageguitar70 Well I never could play a guitar solo, so we're even :)

[gkoz791]

hey congrats man, the guitar looks beautiful and sounds awesome!!! and your guitar playin' didn't sound bad at all, in fact it was pretty mean playing!! rock on!!

[korgrandi]

@gkoz791 Thanks Gerry. I don't know songs on the guitar but I know lots of riffs.

[gl797]

NICE! I hated tele's when I was a kid, now I think that their my favorite for the simplicity alone. Rammstein and Maiden..I recognized them so I guess you can play guitar after all,lol. Are you running the strings through the body?

[korgrandi]

@gl797 Yeah the strings are through body. Realized I'd have to do that when I received the bridge. So I just drilled through. I figured that was the way to do it.

A Tele with a humbucker, now that's something I can use!

[gl797]

@korgrandi You should see about getting some string ferrules, Google "Stew-Mac" and search "ferrules". Also, they make humbuckers in a single coil size...so it will drop right in. I'd just change the bridge one and leave the neck as a single.

[korgrandi]

@gl797 Good to know, but too late now, hehehe.

[gl797]

@korgrandi LOL I put my glasses on, I see you have a humbucker already. I thought you were saying that you wanted to put a new humbucker in.

Man you're damn good with that router.

[EZCreepin]

thats pretty tight i must say :D

[MrPunklive]

make me a bass for free and ull bw the best

[fourty5mag]

Nice looking and sounding guitar!! Love cherry wood. Rock On!!

[korgrandi]

@fourty5mag Thanks man. My favorite wood for furniture. That's why I had a little lying around.
