Thanks a ton! As a mandolin player and (very) amateur luthier with only a few instruments under my belt, vids like this are very helpful. I've been wanting to build an electric, because a mic-ed acoustic mando has a hard time keeping up with plugged in instruments and drums on stage. I don't like the 4 string models, I don't think they sound like mandolins really. This is a good and relatively simple project that anyone should be able to do if they are interested. I subscribed to your channel.

i have a few small questions, on the neck, from the head to the base i guess you'd call it, what was the width, i mean from where the nut at the head stock to the top of the mandolin what are the widths, also, what is the thickness of the bass wood used, and where did u get the pick-ups and bridge and stuff like that, did u make them to, or buy them, and where might you buy them? thanks for your time, and i really like the videos

dude i have some questions why you paint the body first, why makin a guitar player friendly mandolin and i had oter questions but forgot

@naruto saenz I don't usually paint first but I was trying to show how to do a Fender style sunburst and I thought a full body would show it better. Guitar friendly the neck is larger than a mandolin neck easier for me to play I am not a mandolin player and the spacing of the frets and longer neck helps me, sounds exactly like a normal mandolin.

A truss rod will keep the neck straight if the neck bows or concaves. by tighting or losening the nut on the rod you can strighten out a neck. there are also none adjusting truss rods but I prefer an adjustable truss rod.

So when you say "trace and mill" you just eyeball that router cut? You don't use a template? Must come with experience I suppose.

I do use templates, but sometimes I mill by eye. When milling by eye take your time. The Sabre Guitar video shows me using a template. Thanks for watching.

There are two ways, The first use a long drill bit and drill into the lower corner of the pickup cavity into the control cavity. Second with a 1/4" x 12" long drill bit start drilling from the input jack straight through the control cavity into the pickup cavity. Good Luck and take your time.
