Look, it is perfectly clear to me that Yukon had his Grandpa or his Dad help him build this. His Shopteacher Dad, or woodworking Grandpa is probably using the videocamera. The tools seen in this vid are NOT the tools of a teenager but of a Furniture or cabinet maker, such as the heater and wood planes. That is why Yukon never shown the body being shaped as his Grandpa, or Dad did it! Nice work Yukon, but time to come clean!

My Grandpa did not help me, neither a shop teacher, and neither my dad apart from allowing me the use of the tools which are his. Many of the tools in this series (the heater and wood planes included) are those of a teenager, paid for from the income of this teenager. But also many of them are not mine. You seem to have over looked the fact that the camera is stationary in all but two shots, the reason it is stationary is because of the tripod it was mounted on.

[YukonStrings]

also the reason you don't see me bending the sides is because the camera I was using had some problems at that point and I didn't want to wait to fix the camera before bending the sides, so there is no video of it.

Besides that, If a man did help me why would I not give him the credit due him? I designed, built, and filmed the making of a guitar because I wanted to, and because I could. Many people want to but can't, and many can but don't want to. But I did. I find your doubtfulness funny

Do you have any fingers left?!! Guitar looks great.

[YukonStrings]

can you imagine that I still have all ten fingers! Or 8 fingers and 2 thumbs haha people look and are amazed but really I'm not about to cut my fingers off, I take precautions that in reality are plenty but to people watching can seem quite crazy, gotta get the job done one way or another

[DexterGoneWild]

I glue the headstock on the top...

I don't think theres a difference.

and is the dremel not good for routing out the truss rod cavity...it didn't sound like it was doing so well...

I'm thinking about getting one...need to know if its good.

[YukonStrings]

no the dremel sucked for doing the truss rod cavity, I would rather use a router table but I haven't got one yet.

[funnyuday]

Don't put yur finga in front of jig-saw dick head. Everythin else was good.

[SuperMetalhead96]

is this process something that can be done in a high school woodshop class

[ramblinghero1]

Just saw all seven parts how you build a beautiful guitar with a nice sound and I was impressed. Amazing how you did all that with simple tools of some of which I think were built by your self like the vices you used fastening the top. I really admire your attitude of just doing it. Great stuff. Greetings from Suomi.

@frost0813 I still prefer fingerjoints for the headstock. If you've done any electric headstock repairs, you've seen heads break off on joints like this.

5:55 - 5:59 "nyan nyan nyan nyan"

6:00 "nnnnyaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnn"

i love this. thanks.

[frost0813]

Dude, think about strength. The head stock joint is WAY stronger if you glue the cut-off over the neck, so it ends up between the neck and the fingerboard creating a sandwich. trust the word of someone who has done literally hundreds of headstock repairs.
