CannaWood Mark III - my most complicated build (yet) 

I have seen hundreds of videos on guitar building but nothing has impressed me as much as this one. A masterpiece. Kudos, especially for the originality and out-of-the-box construction.

I watched every second of this… and I am constantly mesmerized by your work. Well done 🤘

This is not only an amazing guitar, it's a work of art, dedication at it's finest!

An absolutely well crafted amazing true instrument inspired by a genius and made by an artist.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Beautiful craftsmanship. - If you leave the lid off when you’re heating the dye, it won’t explode 😉

I remember watching the original mk1 build video and just being in awe, and this is even more impressive. You really put your incredible luthier skills on full display here!

Ну тут лайк сразу. Красота какая получилась.

Such a majestic and gorgeous build. Can't wait for the steel string version!

The design is absolutely Brilliant. The amount of Labor is Insane. Only a multi-millionaire could afford a guitar like that. This is Art that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Well done!! 3D laminated lattice bracing, French polishing...if you're not getting $35,000 to $45,000 USD for that guitar then you need therapy. Dyed rope binding. That guitar is insane. Now I see the headstock. The shape might give away the Client. If it's who I think it is, yeah, he could afford your guitars. My numbers are too low. That guitar has to be close to $100K Can't stop commenting as I'm watching; carbon fiber sheets in the neck and headstock. I'll bet that a man could stand on that neck and it won't break. Great builders don't have to glue in frets and you know how good a builder is by how little he has to level the frets. I think this is one of the two or three greatest builds I've ever watched. That guitar will last several lifetimes. My God, you are really that good man.

Wow! That's an amazing guitar that I really desire. The sound quality is fantastic as well...

I like the sound, and it looks spectacular. Admire your creativity! Well done brother.

Incredible craftsmanship

You, sir, are insane, congrats on pushing the limits every time, you are an inspiration

Very nice. I love the vacuum clamp, so many uses.

Wow. Really impressive. I love the innovation. Sounds great too!

Che spettacolo! In quanto a bellezza, insuperabile. Bravo.

Fantastic to watch, thank you for sharing👍

Damn fine work! Beautiful!!

Nice craftsmanship.very good.

Nice design. Looks and sound great. Thanks...😊

Sounds so good man!

.......OUTSTANDING....... Sir.

😮😱 Mio Dio !! È stupendamente favolosa!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥇🎸👍

Magnífico...verlo ha sido como asomarse al futuro...enhorabuena!!!y gracias.

The video editing involved was a tremendous project just on its own, but it so well described this beautiful build.

Nice shop space, beautiful windows!

Dude's redefining the art

Amazing and beautiful job, great instrument!

Beautiful

Ausgezeichnet. Und sehr interessant.

Stuanning, u r an artist

This is so crazy. Your patience, your effort, hard work. Thank you for sharing the idea. I have a lot of experience with acrylic and other plastics and thermoforming them. What would be perfect here for making a series of them if you had the convex part of the exact mold and just sandwich them together. But the vacuum bag worked pretty well. Nevertheless this is revolutionary. Thank you again.

Not quir catching the concept tonal quality wise .. as a luthier I'm thinking maybe .. I'm thinking that it's more of , well I got the CNC tooling and I can make something that looks outlandish and outrageous, so I will .... It surely wasn't created for the sound . I could tell right away the the compression channel being narrower on the treble side would be the opposite effect of what most luthiers strive to accomplish.. He sure spent a lot of time programming... and obviously a skilled luthier who has accumulated lots of tools I would love to have..😅

Congratulations on the wonderful work.

Beautiful guitar

Amazing!

Wow! Truly something different and magnificent! You have sculpted the most beautiful guitar in existence! A significant work of art! Black Bird was a little fast but in one respect... It's inconsequential that it actually functions...

incredible.

The cnc looks really useful for the lattice bracing! looks much more consistent than the way I do it.

Elle est magnifique ta guitare bravo

Amazing work as always! You really don't like making your live easy, don't you :D Every time I watch one of your videos I learn so many new techniques to try out. Amazing to see all the things you're using your CNC for, gotta coppy some of them ;)

Super cool build, I will say the jack being in the rear like that would make it a no-buy for me because when I sit and play guitar, I use my left leg and have the guitar sit between my legs. It's best in the position like an electric guitar would be imo. That allows you to get the neck in a more natural position for your wrists.

Exelente trabajo, muy bonito cuerpo de la guitrra, muy bien 💯‼️

*Awesome ! Congrats my friend 😃🙋🏻‍♂️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*

Genius😮

Oh my god, this thing will be worth billions of dollars in 200 years!

isso não é um trabalho, é terapia e obra de arte.

Guitarist and engineer here. This is hands down the most beautiful and well engineered and built "modern" acoustic guitar I've ever seen! I'd love to test it and hear if the bottom end really sounds as fat as it does in my head just by looking at the design?! Awesome is the only word to describe it! Greetings from a neighbour Swede p.s. going to bingewatch all of your videos now... ;)

MARAVILHOSO INSTRUMENTO

Wow ❤

Самый лучший мастер на планете! Это самое лучшее что я видел! Моя мечта детства делать гитары! Моё уважение!

Show!

I'd show this video to the people who say using CNC is cheating... 🙃 Very impressive, sounds as good ss it looks, and it's a real beauty. 👍

Der Korpus erinnert mich ein bisschen an Emerald Gitarren aber nichtsdestotrotz eine sehr schöne und aufwendige Arbeit, mit vielen kreativen Detaillösungen und naturbelassen eine angenehme, warme Optik. Wenn es einfach wäre, würde es ja jeder machen. 👍🏻 Die CNC Fräse bringt da wirklich Erleichterung….Kopf, Hals, Inlays usw. Das einzige das mich stutzig gemacht hat, ist das Bracing der Decke. Schwingt das noch 🤔 Die Nylonsaiten benötigen ja nicht so viel viel Gegenhalt. Klasse!!!

felicidades

Absolutely awesome congratulations I want one

Very beautiful guitar. Congratulations. Is it on sale?

Great! How do you choose trees?

good to see my Dad wasn't the only man to use inner tube rubber for clamping LOL

Really really nice work 👍 Which surface finish are you applying?

That was really cool. I'm personally growing very fond of this wood model of yours. How would you approach a steel string version of this build? Do you still use I-beam bracing?

finishing body used shellac?

This is truly a beautiful piece of work but I have a random question for you. I do keep my thumbnails slightly long to help in my work but cut the rest very short regularly as they get in my way and drive me nuts. What is the purpose of your finger nails in your work or do they just not bother you?

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but why not make the back out of just the final wood veneer, so that it's less risk in sanding away the top layer and exposing the different colored wood below?

Zamnnnnnnnn

What Oil"s Are you using ?❤❤❤

How do you like those Music Nomad diamond files?

just a tip : put some vaseline on the pins, they will loosen much easier. Great build anyway...

Have you ever built a guitar with hive bees bars structure?

How many kilos does it weigh?

Um @patrickwong. This guitar doesn't sound bad at all and I'm not fond of nylon string guitars. Could maybe use a sound hole tho for greater resonance. Great looking guitar tho.

гитара конечно красивая но это только для избранных для тех кто может себе позволить такой иструмент.Респект и уважениечеловеку!

is there a point putting a truss rod in a classical guitar?

Looks don't matter much to me since i go for how things sound as priority... But god damn that is beautiful...

You may have better luck in the future with complex bends if you steam the wood first, there are a ton of videos about how to build a wood steaming box :)

Personally I'd really enjoy seeing you you sound test / voice it too. Not everyone might be interested in that process though 😅

How much is this if I wanted to buy it ?

👍❗

nouvelle lutherie , étonnant , j'aurais voulu entendre cela sans micro , le résultat est pas mal ,

凄い❤美し過ぎる。👍✨💖✨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I can see why you don't replace that ragged chair--you don't sit down a helluva lot!

Next time use a canning jar they withstand the pressure and heat

This beautiful guitar deserves metal strings. At the moment its a dog tied to a chain

All good, but where is the sound?

I don't get it; how do you know if you won't need bracing adjustments and compensations somewhere? You never bothered to show how woods (back, sides, top) respond to tap, and how you adjust thickness and mass correspondingly, and based on what? There are no two identical soundboards, no two identical back and sides that allow working blindly on established design and without testing. (At least we saw nothing). How do you decide the exact weight of the bridge, based on what? The whole purpose of hand-making a guitar is audible testing of each step and subtle detailing.Therefore, this looks more like modern architectural approach than real instrument-making.

The only issue i have is it's not mine

Pretty but can't say I was impressed with the sound.

Dante's Inferno....that contour sanding is the 7th level....maybe 9th. I think I'd rather spend time in prison. Beautiful build though.

Such a beautiful guitar… But those tie end knots are hideous 😢

How much in the Philippines currency?

How satisfying is that CNC machine eh? would be a tough project without it

I knew from before the video actually started that I would be turning off long before the end, I mean it's not proper luthiery is it? Just some bozo with a CNC !! Then he started pouring plaster into a mould, definitely time to say enough of this old sh** !!! Then the swine started making his own plywood and he managed to tweak my interest just a little bit and before I knew what was happening the bugger had hooked me!!!! I think I would rather play one of his laminate guitars than use one of Mr Martin's plastic laminate things!!!! I had to stop the video with abou 5 minutes left to play so I could write this comment, now, can I be bothered to watch the remainder? Too bloody right I can!!!!!!

Il suono non mi piace,lo strumento e' realizzato alla perfezione

NOT "100% natural".

That rendition of blackbird was terrible. The guitar is lovely though.

The guitar is beautiful but the sound of it is really bad...

I am amazed at the time and labour put into this guitar build. I am sure the client will be thrilled. But personally i think it is ugly so i will stick to my old beloved D-18. You can't beat a classic.
