No talking, just music and woodworking. Watch me build my full hollow body Telecaster.
Tempted to buy the Fender Acoustasonic for years, I decided instead to build my own. A full hollow body Thinline telecaster.
All music in this video is recorded with this guitar, into my pedal board setup and straight into the computer.

3 a.m. this morning, I thought, " a full hollowbody tele, with P90's ". this is close enough.

This came out fantastic dude! The soundboard pickup and magnetic pickup sound awesome together! Almost sounds like an acoustic and electric playing together. Real unique sound!

Really beautiful work man. I was totally on edge while you were fine rasping out the f-holes! I built one guitar, a solidbody, about 15 yrs ago, and it’s not perfect, but it turned out okay and is still very nice to play. You’ve really inspired me here -this looks exactly like what I’d like to give as a second try. And documenting on video -outstanding, thanks! I’ll send you a picture-- in a year or so😂

This is the best Acoustasonic concept replica ever. Many others tried to copy the concept, but definitely this is the winner. Excellently accomplished!

Thank you very much! I love it.

Sir, that was an amazing build on a stunning guitar! I enjoyed your craftsmanship and your artistic talent at every aspect. I loved how you incorporated hand tools into your work so well. The instrument itself sounds and looks outstanding!

Love your vids man... so relaxing and you learn a ton in the process of watching! Keep up the great work!!!

Absolutely awesome. I get a lot of ideas from your builds and your creativity. I was thinking of doing a semi-hollow body bass next. You gave me some great things to think about, especially that floating bridge. Great job!!!

Neat. I have a design for a similarish build ready to go and am awaiting my new workshop to be built. I enjoyed your build and video and it's given me a couple of ideas for refinement of my design. Cheers from the Antipodes.

Great work, love the vids. You should start selling some these!

Is it full hollow body? I have a full hollow body telecaster, but It's different. My guitar have bridge block, but your guitar have bracings. Your guitar is awesome. My guitar made Freedom Custom Guitar Research, Red Pepper. It's good, too.

That's a vibey guitar sound to be sure. Quite surprised. Beautiful build

If you sell that 🎸 guitar, how much do you ask for it?,,,or maybe making one similar. The sound it’s fantastic.

@BenjaminCenters Год назад

Nice build! Really enjoyed this video! Keep up the good work 👍

@opidonorman8833 11 месяцев назад

Awesome build . Always wondered how you wire both acoustic and electric pickups to the same output

@guitartech_crew 3 дня назад

How did you secure the bridge? or is it pressed by the strings and removed when you loosen the pegs? I repair guitars, but I want to try to make them myself. There is a video for inspiration. greetings from Russia 🇷🇺

@MerwinMusic День назад

It is basically just held by the string pressure but I added very very tiny dab of glue to keep it from getting bumped especially during string changes.

@bobibobik5903 10 месяцев назад

Great what typ of titibond do you use and why? I see it's number 2? Why that one and not poplar 1 or not so poplar ( but i like it) number 3?

@studiovape7486 Год назад

Definitely a very slick build there, great attention to detail. Beautiful work. Can I ask how thick was your finished body before you added the soundboard?

@MerwinMusic Год назад

2 inch (5.08cm)

@ian0401 Год назад

Awesome. Can I recommend the masking tape and superglue trick for holding down templates?

@MerwinMusic Год назад

You can. I tried it at first and found it to be more hassle than it was worth.

@mysticclam Год назад

Did you angle the neck to keep the string height good using the arch top style bridge? I'm working on an acoustic tele project and I dont really like the look of the standard acoustic bridges but an arch top seemed to high. Your guitar looks great!

@MerwinMusic Год назад

Yes. I tried to demonstrate that at 0:56. Used some shims to get the template at a 3 degree angle when I routed the neck pocket.
