This video is Part 2 of a long series of videos in which I build a guitar as a Christmas gift for my beautiful wife, Erin. This is my first attempt at building a guitar, so go easy on the comments. Also, if you happen to bump into my wife, don't spoil the surprise!

  • I don't know how much I'm going to learn about being a luthier, but I am definately going to learn alot about carpentry technique and safety. although it would appear that you're only measuring everything once, which goes against conventional teachings.

  • @baeirattack You will probably not learn much about safety, either. I get criticized for operating my equipment in an unguarded manner, and I would stress that if you're new to the craft, you should follow the guidelines in your equipment manuals on safe operating procedures, not some video on YouTube.

    The guitar took about 80 hours total to build. The videos I have on YouTube amount to just over two hours. There is plenty of remeasuring going on while the camera isn't rolling!

  • why dont you use metric and not inches.  Inches are by no means accurate

  • @johnoconnor99 I don't use metric because I learned on the Imperial system, and every tool in my shop (excluding the Festools) are also on the Imperial system. I don't see why it makes any difference. "Inches are by no means accurate"... this sentence is really quite ignorant. Please explain how metric is any more or less accurate than the Imperial system.

  • what was the website you got the kit from?

  • @justishawkins lmii.com

  • @buildaguitar if anything precision is the word he was looking for... and even so 1/32" is more precise than 1mm, ultimately it's a matter of preference! :)

  • "It's gonna be beautiful.... like my wife"

    Such a great line.. well said

  • is a classical guitar vesion of fur elise playing in the background?

  • good job

  • @buildaguitar Shhhhhh. I don't think he knows he's British.

  • @buildaguitar For me the imperial sistem and the metric are no less effective than the other...

  • Hello:)

    Nice guitar, thanks for your videos!

    What tools do you used to do neck?
