    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.

    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.
