How To Make A Telecaster Guitar From Scratch

You and Shawn did such a good job!!!!

OMG, this is awesome. Bro I’m so happy you’re growing and sharing with the world. You’re talented.‼️

Nice

This looks real good.
I see the Fender noiseless pickups and tried to find what sort of switch you used.
If it is a 4-Way switch, please do tell where you got the wiring diagram for it.

Beautiful! Very talented!

How many diff tools are necessary for this?

Good job 👌

Tele looks and sounds amazing. Nice playing too.

Just Beautiful. Man you did a fantastic job.

Fantastic work dude! As a budding luthier myself I too felt the shock of “well dang building guitars takes a lot of skill” but you’d never know it by how you presented everything. The guitar looks gorgeous and I loved your optimism in taking your setbacks and turning them into opportunities. Also the risk it for the brisket at the end with the inlay is a great touch. Often times it’s under those same types of circumstances that the most beautiful work is created. Hope you’ll keep building and documenting into the future!

Really beautiful this guitar.. 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸

Cool playing! Guitar too BTW

Where ist the truss rod?

Thats just lovely that is

Nice guitar dude, but remove the hardware before finishing, never shield the guitar before finishing and routing the cavities before final shaping is easier

Great! How thick is the body?

Which router bit did you use? Do you have a link? I would love to buy that one.

Awesome !! Congrats !!

But where did the plastic body template come from?

Nice build! Why would you radius the fretboard first and glue it later?

Thanks for the video. I didn't see what finish you used on the list of stuff in the description. Could you please specify what you used? You said Rubio Monocoat, but which one and how was it applied / number coats etc. Thanks.

I wouldn't guess any of the setbacks judging by the final product, it looks and sounds amazing.

beautiful guitar and playing, hope one day i’ll be able to craft a guitar or play that good

This is unreal dude, great job

Nice guitar - good job! . But intonation was pretty rough — you might want to invest in a tuner.

That top turned out sweet. Love the oil finished look.

Very nice guitar. Beautiful maple. On my glossy screen, your finish looks glossy too of course, but is it really a gloss finish? As far as I know, Rubio is very matt.
Why did you make the trussrod nut accessible on the side of the headstock?

Its a very nice build, but you would need to find a real sucker to pay 10 grand for that.

Hope you earn that reputation to gain hungry customer for top dollar quality guitars amazing work i will pay top dollar without being there in person i just go by the details a person gives out and from there im not taking my chances because im confident enough what that person is doing and saying lol

Awesome!

the nut slot on my new tele neck is way too narrow, about 1mm. I’m thinking to wrap up my fretboard radius gauge with sand paper to widen the gap, a sound plan to you or theres other easier/safer way to do this please? many thanks

It looks and sounds awesome, build more! Lots of builders never go through all the measurements of everything. Maybe you can do that.

Looks thin on the entry of video which looks good. Looks thicker latter even near finishing.

Looks and sounds great.

Stunning ❤

O natural da madeira é muito melhor que qualquer tipo de tinta... essa guitarra ficou perfeita.

Stunning Tele! I love the natural finish. New sub!

Fantastic video and even better playing technique,Well done !!!

BEAUTIFUL 😊

What is the radius of milling machines? For the neck

I am happy and excited every time I see anyone. Built a guitar and played it himself And I like making guitars too.

Love the videos man, makes me feel like I could actually do it, and it makes screwing things up while learning seem less daunting. Definitely the dream to someday build my own guitar and play it "well". Been working on learning guitar this year, probably start branching into woodworking in the coming few years hopefully. Now that I'm heading towards my late 30's and finally broke myself physically, hobbies like these are very appealing and exciting. Things I sort of put in my back pocket for when I'm older and can no longer participate in extreme sports and adventure activities, well sometimes you make mistakes and have to hang it up sooner than expected lol.

Love the look of the rubio monocoat and the gold hardware. What a gem!

Its beautiful, I Love It! Spectacular Job! Sounds great, too!

without randomness..order cannot manifest itself....bet you never sell it !!! GREAT VIDEO

Tasteful playing!

Step #1 buy a bunch of exspensive equipment

gorgeous.....

Man. That came out so clean. I want to make a telelike guitar one day. My dream guitar for sure. What do you think would be the bare minimum set of tools to get a guitar build done?
