thank you!

thanks! unfortunately I can't easily slow it down. I captured the footage with my phone's timelapse mode, and there are no in-between frames. you could slow youtube's playback speed down, but it will only do so much...

Thanks! It is just Titebond wood glue. Nothing fancy, and it works very well.

@markstrutton6640 Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope this instrument gives you a lifetime of joy, and a huge thank you to Shawna for commissioning it too. Happy Birthday!

Thank you!

Thank you!

26.5" on the treble strings, 28" on the bass strings, with a parallel fret at the 10th. If I were to do it again, I probably would go 27-29" for slightly higher string tension, with a parallel closer to 4 or 5 so the angle at the 1st fret is a little less.

Thanks! I may post a longer version with commentary later, but haven't had time to revisit it yet.

thank you!

Thanks Win! The neck has a Tru Oil (penetrating gunstock oil) finish, and the body has polished epoxy over the fabric in the front and shellac over the mahogany back.

Thanks! I've played for over 30 years, and have always done setups/repairs on all of my guitars. A few years ago I decided to take a shot at building my own guitars from scratch for fun, and I've done 9 instruments now.

thanks! it is brass tubing, with epoxy inlay, with a dark metallic pigment. im pretty happy with how they turned out

If i remember correctly, I went back and forth on this one whether or not i was going to ground the strings. Normally I don't ground these b/c I use piezo discs, but this one had a magnetic pickup too... hence the internal debate. I think I skipped it, but I had considered drilling a hole from under the tailpiece into the body to run a ground wire. It ended up not having any issues without the ground, so I left it off.

and thanks!

thanks!

thanks! at least this build raised a good chunk of change for charity. not a bad idea... this one was just a standard tone pot. my next build is heavily telecaster inspired, but very non-traditional. it's going to be sweet.

Thanks! I’ll probably end up doing ggbo again this year, but haven’t signed up yet, and don’t have a plan. Kind of disappointed that the entry fee has gotten so high though. How about yourself?

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Purchased yesterday at The Guitar Man in Salisbury? If so, it’s the same one. Thank you, glad you like it!

Thank you! Yours did too.

Hah, that was years ago! I definitely have not posted much lately except for stuff on guitar making (way more interesting to me)

@@AndrewTrice i liked it, great song keep it up

thank you! I'll check them out

Yea I already did before I watched the build! Great job by the way

Thank you! And yes, I’m planning to participate this year too, but I am way behind a lot of the other competitors b/c I have not had a lot of time to work on it. Ive been posting updates over on Instagram at instagram.com/andytrice

@@AndrewTrice ah, then we're in the same boat. I'm still working on the construction of the neck and haven't even started on the body

Ha, definitely not perfect, but it turned out pretty good. I'm sure you're not giving yourself enough credit.

Thank you! and I have enough wood left over for a few more guitars too (full size ones)! I used a generic 35mm disc piezo I got off of Amazon. They were 10 for $10 (I think). I originally wired it up with a .22µF capacitor on the tone pot, which I think was too strong, so I swapped it out with a .01µF cap, and it works great.

More than happy to. Thanks for checking it out!

It has a generic under-saddle piezo that I hooked up with a Schatten Micro Pre preamp. I only wired it up with a volume pot, but if I were to do it again, I'd take the extra 15 mins and add a tone pot too. Details here: www.schattendesign.com/PDF/MicroPre.pdf. It does impedance matching to match the piezo output to a "normal" electric guitar signal.

and thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks Jim!

The bridge pickup is a "Railhammer Hyper Vintage" humbucker, and the neck is a "Railhammer Humcutter" (P90 style).

Thank you!

Thanks you!

Thanks! This neck pickup is where i intended to put it. If I were to do it again, I'd probably move the neck pickup about 1- 1.5 centimeters closer to the neck. This configuration sounds incredible as-is, but I think if I were to move it, it would have a slightly greater range of tones.

@@AndrewTrice There is a reason that most guitar designers put the pickups as close to the end of the fingerboard and as close to the bridge as reasonably possible. To get the widest range of difference between them. If you want a tone somewhat between those extremes, you either wire it so they can be played together, or install a middle pickup.

Thank you! I wanted to make something that I’ve always wanted, and you can’t buy in a store.

Now build a companion electric steel string rocker, but make it exactly the same shape and same materials.... That would really turn some heads.

I should. That would be fun. I just finished this one, which shares some materials, but not exactly the same: instagram.com/p/CJJH4pDs37g

@@AndrewTrice well, then there it is..... NICE WORK

​@@salmonti9707 Thanks! I did a build video for that one too, if you're bored: ua-cam.com/video/oKN954rCk8g/v-deo.html
