This is visually one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever seen...Just amazing man, congratulations!

Do you have any videos showing the inside parts of the guitar?

[RamblinAround]

@giopagoda Thank you very much. If you go to my channel and search "homemade guitar"...I have an 8 part series on how I built my latest guitar. Thanks for watching!

[anamationX1]

Yet another way u continue 2 amaze me

how much is it 4 one of your guitars

[RamblinAround]

@anamationX1 Thanks, I appreciate that! I used to sell them for $300-$600....depending on the setup, but I've stopped selling them for right now.

[LiquidLen3333]

This guitar is my absolute favorite! Strong work! For the record, this channel is very real, very cool, and I'm glad I found it. Cheers!

[RamblinAround]

@LiquidLen3333 Thanks, I appreciate that!

[ospreys17]

Ok no probs they r awsome lol yeh ive subscribed anyway so ill keep checking your vids and thanks for replying back and all the best for the future ;) take care

[ospreys17]

Have u got stock left I looked on your website and evrything is sold im interested in the guitar amp combo whats the price? It dont say and Do u ship to the u.k? Thanks

[RamblinAround]

@ospreys17 I've stopped selling them at the moment. I may begin producing more in the future, but I'm pretty busy with other things at the moment. I have shipped my guitars all over, but insured shipping to the UK is very pricey. It can add a couple hundred dollars to the cost. I'll post a video and update my website when I get back to building. Thanks for your interest!

TUTORIAL



[RamblinAround]

@TylerHulsey I have a series of vids on my last guitar build. Just look up homemade guitar on my channel. I think there are about 8 parts.

[kamelashes]

that is a kick ass bridge...

[RamblinAround]

@kamelashes Thanks for taking a look at it!

[RamblinAround]

@mikeysosnowski Thanks for checking it out!

[oOmaremmamaialaOo]

Your job is absolutely awesome! I love the way this guitar sounds, it's rude, raw, so natural and wild. Tastes of freedom! What strings are you using? And have you changed some settings on the amp to obtain that sound?

[RamblinAround]

@ImagineThersNoHeaven Feel free to use anything you see...lol I'm real happy with the humbucker, I think it sounds great. Thanks for checking it out!

[ROCKADULTOX]

7:00 mind blown

[RamblinAround]

@Burn1ngSn0wMan Thanks!

[bigfrankiej3211]

Man, that's awesome! When you plugged that in the karaoke machine, I was expecting it to sound like an AM radio with a 1 inch speaker. Then, when you cranked it up, it sounded like the roar of satan! I jumped out of my skin! You've got some really awesome ideas there man! Thanks for sharing.

[RamblinAround]

@bigfrankiej3211 Thanks man, I appreciate the comments!

[MrArtist1971]

Very smartly constructed man, congrats!

[RamblinAround]

@MrArtist1971 Thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it!

[GlamFabWow]

Very ingenious. Thank you for sharing and showing!

[RamblinAround]

@GlamFabWow Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[BigPWilly123]

i want one how much?

[Mrguitfiddled]

I tried using wiper blade inserts. They're pretty sharp when you first cut them off. I did a test run to see if it fit in the fret saw channel I cut. It fit really well. Couldn't get it back out. I tried different methods, was in a hurry. Managed to sent the little stainless steel piece right though the tip of my thumb. It bottomed out on my nail. Bled all over the dang place. I bought some fret wire.

[heshmuffinsvideo]

How did you fasten the neck to the body? Do you glue the neck to the lid on the inside? Or do you use screws to fasten the neck? If so, where did you put the screws?

Thanks!

[RamblinAround]

@heshmuffinsvideo It depends on the guitar, but in this case the neck is glued to the lid of the box. This is a semi-hollow body and really wasn't intended to produce much acoustic sound. In my acoustic cigar box guitars, I cut a relief into the neck so that it doesn't touch the lid. That way it is free to vibrate more freely. Some people do attach the necks to the box with screws. There are numerous ways to go about it. Check out the website cigarboxnation if you want to get some ideas.

[Deathjailer]

I just saw your sons steampunk gun video and I really liked it, this is kinda steampunk too though! you know putting things together that are lying around , I REALLY like it! keep up the good work

[RamblinAround]

@Deathjailer Thanks, we appreciate you checking them out!

[killofwar]

[RamblinAround]

@killofwar Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[coolcatjerk]

@fatybonbon you jinxed it stupid. look what you did

[RamblinAround]

@fatybonbon Thank you very much.....I appreciate it!

[antoniochikilintony]

where I can get one of those boxes?

[RamblinAround]

@antoniochikilintony You just need to check with a local cigar shop. Usually they'll have some boxes for free or maybe just a couple of dollars.

[antoniochikilintony]

@RamblinAround Thanks! I want to build one of those guitars

[TehAwesomishdude]

Awesome! i have 2 guitars but i dont play i gave them to my brother

[ClAyMoReAcR]

i didnt know electric guitars were this complicated

[JohnMstudios]

@ClAyMoReAcR They're more comlicated than this :)

[Jarmo60]

That bridge is good idea, others are too, maybe i copy ideas to my buildings, if you don´t mind. Powerfull sound :)

[RamblinAround]

@Jarmo60 Feel free to use anything you see. I'll have videos up of my most recent build very soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[Lifeslimitful]

are these expensive to make?

[RamblinAround]

@Lifeslimitful They're not real expensive to make, but they do take a lot of time. I sell guitars like this for a little under $500.

[4eyessss]

That's a great camera

[RamblinAround]

@4eyessss Thanks for watching, my new camera is much better than the one I used in this video.

[marcuspinson]

can you ake another one like this but with 3 strings and a separate pickup placed verticaly under each string

[iani103]

That is seriosly the most awesome guitar i have ever seen!

[RamblinAround]

@iani103 Thank you very much. I kept this one for myself because it's one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!

[jonthefuzz2]

[jeffz63]

[notpopebuthope]

Well done! Congrats!

[audiotomic]

[RamblinAround]

@audiotomic Thanks for checking it out.

[pimpinpenz]

[oldman4568]

Cool!

[bigblockluv]

great job

[RamblinAround]

@bigblockluv Thanks, I appreciate it.

[racer4560]

Thats great Jeff, Awesome job!

[RamblinAround]

@racer4560 Thanks Brian, I appreciate it.

[2junkyard]

Awesome work,very creative,sounds great,it's cool how u use stuff most people have laying around to build it.

[groutaone]

great video I like how you can build it with stuff you have kicking around

[RamblinAround]

@groutaone Thanks for checking it out. They are a lot of fun to build.

[Sonofxango]

Looks great Jeff...Good craftsmanship and it sounds like thunder, enjoyed lookin' at the vid,

blessing

Ramblin' Wayn

[RamblinAround]

@Sonofxango Thanks, I appreciate it.

[shartne]

that a pretty guitar dude! hows the action?

[RamblinAround]

@shartne Thanks. It's right about where I like it right now. There is no fret buzz and it's set up a bit high to allow for aggressive slide play. It's still low enough to allow for finger tapping and quick movement. It's not perfect, but it's definitely very playable.

[805ROADKING]

Those Guitar are even more awesome up close. Superb Craftsmanship Jeff. I had my volume all the way up to hear you speak and then when you started playing, it almost blew the speakers out of my computer.

[RamblinAround]

@805ROADKING Thanks and sorry about the volume..lol Jordan told me to turn it down or it would've been even louder.

[riitaalin]

That's amazing your doing some awesome work there.

[RensStella]

work of art! very cool 10*

[StrikerTripleThree]

COOL

[kiwirobin]

That is soooo sweet....

[ModelKarKid]

That looks great and sounds great to!

[RamblinAround]

@smashygadge Thanks, I noticed that you have gotten into cigar box guitars as well. They really are a lot of fun to build and play. People are always amazed that they actually work.

[WolverinaWorld]

So awesome..

You shoud really have some of this stuff at a museum or something..

[RamblinAround]

@WolverinaWorld Thanks, I appreciate it.

[CSAKvids]

That is truly a work of art!  And you can really play it too!

[crs42066]

epic awsomeness =)=)=)

[zezodegrimstone]

That's a lot of w0rk!Sweet

[oopspaw]

jeff, this is really amazing! i thought they were pretty cool when i saw them in the other vid but this close-up is soooo cool! .. =D .. the best part is that they are functional!!! loved the demo at the end!! awesome!! my question is: how long does it take to make one?? .. =D

[RamblinAround]

@oopspaw Thanks, I'm glad you like the closer look. I have to admit that I can't really give you an exact labor time. i could build a very crude version in an afternoon, but mine are assembled over 3 to 4 days. I do all the cutting, sanding, and painting by hand. You also have to allow for drying times on the glue, paint, and varnish. I try not to think about them in parts and labor terms. I just build each one the best that I can with what I have.

[oopspaw]

@RamblinAround ... wow, i think that awesome! it's a fantastic skill! .. =}

[edzgarage]

Very nice looking guitar!

[josderedneck22]

you got some amazing skills man !! sweet.

[RamblinAround]

@josderedneck22 Thanks.

[kookiemoose]

Wow, mad skills!

[Goregoon]

That certainly sounded better then your trumpet did... lol... kidding Beautiful, thanks for the more in depth look. I have to assume the lower black part of the neck goes right on through the cigar box to the butt for strength and the top with the frets was affixed to it after? What does your average guitar go for? I know it will change with styles and such... just curious what a base impact may be on my wallet if I ever wanted to order one.

[RamblinAround]

@Goregoon You're correct that it is a neck-through design. It gives it strength and excellent sustain. Most of my guitars sell for between $300 - $500. I've recently shut down my online store for a bit. With all that I have going on, I was having trouble keeping up with it. I'll let everyone know when I add the purchase buttons back to my site. Thanks for the interest, I appreciate it.

[Goregoon]

@RamblinAround WoW, glad to hear you have too many orders to keep up with... tells me you're a hit!! I can't afford to splurge these days but I tell you this... IF I ever find I can spare it without starving myself for a month (LoL) I would buy one of those beauties in a heartbeat! I consider that a bargooooooon for such a playable piece of art!!!

[pulse0000]

Wow man,that's really cool.

[marcelstjean]

wow man..that is sooo coool.

[01davethecouchguy]

Thats bloody awesome Jeff!! :)
