Hey Marcel! Yeah there's at least one more episode coming up VERY shortly - and then later an 'epilogue' will follow with some kick-ass players checking out what the guitar is capable of! Cheers bro, see you in Frankfurt in a few days!

Beautiful guitars, however, "polishing the unicorn" sounds like it might, uh, mean something else.

As someone who has a half built guitar in the shop, it was amazing to watch you put this together. I love to see someone so dedicated to their craft. Thank you so much Juha for sharing and I hope to see more videos from you in the future.

its good that you showed yourself messing up the finish on the buffer, its such an easy thing to do and is not something that gets talked about much.

Beautiful work you do

I've built a few guitars myself, and I like your work. Very clean, very professional.

BUT...when I saw you pick up a power sander and start sanding on the guitar's finish, I wanted to scream. I counsel to NEVER sand on a finish with anything but your hands, and a foam sanding block when not sanding an edge. I would not even have taken the top finish off with that sander. It's just too aggressive, too easy to make a fatal mistake. And I use a chaiinsaw disc for rough top carving!
