  • ok thanks but what wood would you suggest for me because im a beginner on building guitars??

    I've heard that maple is heavy and alder is light ?? is it possible to buy wood off you which is enough for to body's?? and how much would it cost??

  • Maple is certainly heavier than alder and mahogany can vary a lot. What type of music do you play? Build a guitar for that.

  • ok thanks what wood would you suggest me use?

  • It depends on what type of playing....Mahogany gives a more midrange chunk, maple, alder, ash are brighter sounding.  Most of mine are mahogany although my favorite is maple. They're all different.

  • just would like to know the measurements of the wood and the thickness of the guitars and caver ties etc please ??

  • The maple top is 9/16" thick minimum. the body wood is 1.25-1.5" thick....it varies on how heavy it is. I don't want to make a guitar that is too heavy. Mahogany varies a lot in density and therefore weight.

see all

  • @gustiii2 you're screwed. like me. :/

  • i want to make my own guitar but i dont have experiens with woodwork i do have an uncle that knows how to work with wood but i also dont have the tools to make the guitar.

  • on one of your other videos you said they go through a machine. do you have a computer controlled one?

  • i use resorcynol for the glue the best

  • Hi i was wondering have you finished videoing the rest of the electric guitar making? because you're video lessons are much easier to understand than a book.

    also do you do classes because i really need to learn how to make a electric guitar for my project but you're in USA and im in UK?

  • it could mean your putting downward pressure at the end of the cut? but yeah at first i thought what he said about the out being to low

  • use titebond its amazing and recommended by most :)
