In this video I’m painting my second guitar with spray cans. First a 3 tone sunburst and then olympic white. The Idea is to relic the guitar so that the sunburst comes through the white.

I’m heavily inspired by Novo guitars by Dennis Fano and my building philosophy is not to reinvent the wheel but rather try to learn from the greats.

Before Novo guitars I hated reliced guitars. Just seemed so fake but Dennis Fano made me do a 180 on that one.

The sunburst I made in this video is pretty sloppy because I knew I would paint white over it … but check out my first one right here:

I did a much better job on that one ;)

I’m at guitar building beginner and I have been following The Great Guitar Build Off competition 2020. I learned a lot from the competitors and that inspired me greatly to build a guitar myself.

I built my first guitar under lockdown last summer 2020 and now it’s time to build the next one. Guitar building kind of hooked me.

You can watch first guitar build right here:
   • How I built my dream guitar from 200 ...  

I have bought a neck from GuitarAnatomy.co.uk and the body is built of old pine wood floor boards from a house built in 1808.
Why is that a good thing? Because old wood is cool and more resonant.

The point is to learn how to build great guitars. It can't be rocket science, but it's fascinating. My plan is to learn from the best by researching materials, components, and methods.

In this video I cover:

Placement of the tele bridge,Routing for all 3 pickups, shaping the headstock, installing the neck, sanding the guitar body.
