So, how do you make a guitar? Start with a giant slab of mahogany and then carve away everything that doesn't look like a les paul. 8O

This is insanely impressive. A little nuts too.

awesome video Pabs, that guy has some serious luthier skills and must have massive forearms after all that handsawing. Look forward to the next part of the series !

Amazing. He's bloody good with that router + saw. His jigs are ingenious too.

Really cool build

Yeah the jigs are what gets me. Building jigs for jigs. Those pickups are something else too, and the carbon fibre nut....

He has a strat build as well, only saw the first 30 seconds but it seems pretty nuts also.

I have always wanted to do that!
DB should try this haha, he might need some counselling for it!

good idea Pest, although DB would never be doing that much hand sawing with a bad back - he's got a bandsaw for that !
