Nice to see you doing a commission! I wish you all the success in the world brother. You're a fantastic builder and I've learned so much from watching you! Enjoy the ride! ✌️ & 💕

@fenson6738 Год назад

Talking or not talking... It's still a pleasure to watch you building guitars.

@mrwaffles1394 Год назад

Agreed, it would be crime to cover up that beautiful ebony with big fret dots. Looking good.

@JoeRadFlyBoy Год назад

Thank you for sharing this! I use to rebuild pianos and refinish them. That's nothing compared to this. Fantastic

@knoxjon89 День назад

Absolutely beautiful work man! Hopefully some day I can step my game up and get some efficient and less primitive tools and hone my skills like you!

@Furtheronmusic Год назад

Terrific video. That scalloping after all that fretwork made me nervous 😂

@brandonb1681 Год назад

The inlay work you did with your logo was great. The whole neck looks wonderful.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Brandon, Thank you very much for the compliments.

@bignasty1000 Год назад

the neck looks great! looking forward to the rest of the build

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Bignasty, Thank you very much.

@EntropiaGuitars Год назад

Those frets are something else - they really pop and shine against the dark fingerboard. He's going to be a lucky customer Daniel!

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Owen, Thank you. The frets turned out very nice indeed, and I know for a fact my client is very happy with his new guitar.

@jamiem7114 Год назад

I love that neck, especially the fretboard!!! BEAutifal!!!

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Jamie, Thank you very much! The fretboard is gorgeous indeed.

@BestUnderPressure Год назад

Only because you asked and keep in mind that my opinion should matter very little to you. I like the format of the video. I could do without the background music or maybe just a lot quieter. I'd prefer to hear the machine and hand tool sounds. Again, my opinion is just that. I'm going to watch regardless.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Michael, Thank you for your feedback. RU-vid for some reason seems to somehow 'boost' music volume and although I keep this in mind while editing, sometimes it still is to loud after uploading. Luckily there is a volume control in the RU-vid player but unfortunately this means other sounds might get lost. I'll keep your feedback in mind.

@adairguitars Год назад

The new format looks good to me. You're a master of cutting those inlays. Especially with a long name! Looking forward to seeing this build progress.

@bertrodriguez3087 Год назад

Wow Daniel. The Laguna equipment looks like it's working out great for you and saving you some time. Awesome build as always. Congratulations on all the shop improvements.

@justinchapman8230 Год назад

I scalloped 3 necks in my time myself including my super rare Ibanez JEM BSB from the 12th to 24th fret some people would say I’m mad but how deep your scallops were looked a bit bonkers to me a light scallop is just the same the more wood you take away you get that brrrr sensation sliding up the string when you hit them super deep scallops but your work is sensational mate good job

@micksguitarsarecool Год назад

awesome work man, you probably make some of the best custom guitars in the world, everything is so clean and well done

@jgalt155 Год назад

Looking good , your usual meticulous attention to detail is inspiring , the video format is great to watch , all the best .

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Hugh, Once again, thank you for the compliment!

@2old4u Год назад

Excellent. Great format.

@mutagenerusart4109 Год назад

Thank you for this detailed videos! Thats pleasure for eyes and soul)

@jonahguitarguy Год назад

Super nice work Daniel! You have a huge amount of patience cutting inlay. Especially with such a long name and the big swooping part. Absolutely beautiful. I like to do my fret pressing before carving the neck so I have a solid flat block in the press. I find neck rests very fiddly. Any video you make I watch. More talking, less talking I don't care. watching you build guitars is great.

@chiptait Год назад

Bravo!

@darrylbutt2570 Год назад

What a craftsman you are.

@bryanhickman4973 Год назад

Beautiful work! Very inspiring! Keep it up, Daniel!

@sherwinS_13 11 месяцев назад

you handcraft skills are amazing!!!

@andrewmundenandcadfellmast4624 Год назад

Really enjoyed this neck build, mate. And the format is good too👍🏼😊

@martinlouden9005 Год назад

Love the new format.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Martin, Thank you. Good to know people are also enjoying this format.

@top174 Год назад

Dear Daniel, nice new format ! It's more dynamic. But videos with more detailed explanations are very instructive too. So, if you can keep a mix between both formats, it would be great. Anyway, your guitars are awesome and keep going !

@donniecook3000 3 месяца назад

You do amazing work I love your work and your inlay of your brand is just amazing if I may say so

@olivergold5398 Год назад

Great Work.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Oliver, Thank you!

@edadpops1709 Год назад

Like this format alot 👍

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Edad, Thanks!

@MrSonorbakken Год назад

Great video, and the guitar neck looks awesome. Looking forward to the next video.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Stein, Thank you very much!

@Cliff-Evans Год назад

Great video Daniel even though you do not say much, I find your video very informative.

@r.llynch4124 Год назад

Great to see you building again. I thought you would use that awesome new drum sander to level off the blank? I found it does a great job with body, neck, and fretboard blanks for that.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi R.L. Lynch. Thank you. I hadn't stopped building, just altered my upload schedule a bit. I used the sander to thickness the neck blank (not in the video though) but I needed 1 reference surface of the blank to be true, level, straight and square to the center line. Unfortunately without a planer I still need to do that by hand, but the sander makes the rest much easier.

@BewareAudioXperiment Год назад

nice work, waiting for the body build..

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Erjan, Thank you! Keep an eye out for the next video which should go live the 6th of March.

@sven_bachmann Год назад

when will you finally buy a mass produced version of your logo plate? 😉 i wonder how many hours you've spent working on these... great job on every level, as always!!!

@Overit5000 Год назад

Always amazing

@Hateweek1984 Год назад

I'm working on a jazz bass for my dad... I'm not a luthier but a hobbyist ...i noticed your neck stock was really thick...is thos because its a lamination? Or just personal preference...the neck blank i got is only .75" ...didn't know if I'm missing something...besides..not putting the finger board on.. lol great video sir!

@XGCPolaris Год назад

If the client wants jumbo frets then I don't understand why he also wants the upper frets scalloped. Seems to be overkill. Great job Daniel as always.

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi XGCPolaris, Thank you. The Jumbo frets and scallop might be a bit overkill, but it doesn't hurt the guitar design or playability. Sometimes a feature like a scallop can help with the mindset of a player to help them play better / more confident wether it's 100% useful or not.

@johnstaples2190 Год назад

I like it!

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi John, Thanks!

@Jansmit23 Год назад

Nice 👍 format is oke. You can always do a voiceover when needed

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hey Eztier, Thank you for the voice over tip. I'll keep that in mind.

@edadpops1709 5 месяцев назад

Haha If I could ever get my plane as sharp as yours is I’d probably pee my pants .😅

@wkmetaal Год назад

Very nice build and presentation. The wood for the fretboard is beautiful. Is the circelblade for the fretslots saw, bought at Stewmac?

@hardzysson Год назад

Always nice to see your build, such a great work! I have a question, maybe I've missed, but what can you say about wooden inlays, for example ebony fingerboard with rosewood inlays, or dark ebony fingerboard with light ebony enlays? Will the differ between wood material have consequences with a look of fingerboard in the future?

@tyremanguitars Год назад

nice work! do you think stainless frets are worth it? or is it too much work?

@dimebag2486 Год назад

Magnifique ! Signed : a french from hell

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi Dimebag, Merci!!

@bedlam46 8 месяцев назад

what was the difference with the SS frets? if any? hope your feeling a bit better BTW

@HearGear Год назад

This is a great video, that neck seem to be awesome, i am planning my next build right now, if i may ask, what company do you buy the wood from ? i live within the EU..

@UnquendorGuitars Год назад

Hi HearGear, Thank you! I get my timber from a Dutch Supplier called "Massive Fijnhouthandel" in Zwolle. Unfortunately they don't have a webshop. They do sometimes ship internationally, but you have to give them a call.
