  • Got my bass done. Thanks so much for all your help. It came out really good, and plays very good. Did it old vanhalen bumble bee colors and stripes and a Gibson thunderbird body shape. Thanks Perry.

  • @r7mart Very Cool, Now send me a photo please. I'm am putting together a home made guitar wall on the new GUIT WLID GUITARS web site.

  • Perry, I almost have my bass done, I built it from watching your videos, and it looks pretty good so far, just need to paint it. I hope it plays good. Thanks cause I learned almost everything from your videos.

  • @r7mart That is really great please send me a photo when your Bass is complete.

    Perry

  • It's a shame that even when he has such a big workshop, he doesn't build his own necks... (or he just doesn't show to us...) I mean, yeah, great job, but the neck is like the hardest part...

    The age doesn't have to do with making guitars by the way...

    Before I get to stupid with my comments... I want to say that this is a good film where every step of building guitarbodies has been shown, nice job.

  • @Explorerrule You should watch some of the other Guit Wild Videos, You can learn how to build a neck.

  • cheers guys, the vid makes it look so easy.

  • i built a guitar when i was thirteen... i had £150 which i spent on mahogany, birdseye and rosewood and the rest i did with my dads old tools. i bought the bridge, pickups and all the hardware 6 months later when i had enough, and now its my favorite guitar.

  • umm i hardly have any of those tools is there a way to do it with out as much like a saw and a sander XD

  • i was 14-13 my first build and all i had was a jig saw and a borrowed a router...Geto much

  • Hi Im thinking of making my own gibson les paul replica... I know what parts Im gonna use and how Im gonna assemle it but I dont know how you get the strings on... can anyone please help me ???

  • @mjdvids1128 Built my first when I was 15. I built the neck too :)

  • hi, nearly finsihed the majority of my guitar now, was wandering if you had the measurement for the depth for humbucker pick up routs, gibson style aswell as the depth of the ears of the pocket

    thanks
