Great Guitar Build Off 2021- Episode 1 - Making the Neck | Building a Great Guitar from Scratch 

How refreshing to see 2 things amongst the majority of these videos. 1: a list of the stages of progress and 2 a far better ratio of explaining to actual building footage and I'm always impressed with how your guitars turn out.

OHHHH THIS SUUUUUCKS!!!!!! My favorite RU-vid guitar builder is now my COMPETITION!?!? Daniel, I am SO happy to see you're participating in the GGBO. I have paid homage to your channel in several of my videos, and even have an entire video dedicated to your work! Best of luck to you: no way I'll win the contest with my first build, so I am officially #TeamUnquendor from here on out! Thanks for your content and the rich education I'm receiving from you. Now if you'd come over and clean & organize my dungeon, that would be AWESOME!!!

I just added a fence like yours to my oscillating sander. It works well! I learned that this thing is more than capable to rip the board out of your hands and send it across the room into the wall cracking your finger board. Ask me how I know that 😂.

Hey man, I am so glad you are in this. We expect something stellar from you my friend. I can't wait to see your build. Best of luck. Thank you for all you informative videos. I have learned so much from watching you build. Peace brother!

Just to drop, If I ever had the money, the builder I would choose to build my dream guitar, would be you. Meticulous, passioned and very professional... Love your videos and guitars... Maybe one day

No matter how far you get in this competition, I’m so proud of you ❤️

Hey Daniel, really looking forward to what you come up with! Until next week!

Nicely done Daniel, wishing u all the best for winning this thing...

The infinity bits are really great man. Smooth and clean.

That's a nice piece of wood with a beautiful grain. I wonder what you plan to do with the body. I'm starting to fall in love with this one a little bit already.

Agree Infinity dual bearings are awesome.

Great start Daniel... the neck is beautiful. Good luck in the GGBO!!

Great job !! That neck looks fabulous !!

wow! That´s a really cool looking neck! Stunning! Want to see it laquered :) Greetz!

It would have been great if you had shown how you select the grain and laminated the neck blank

Very impressive!

Hi Daniel, really glad you’re doing a build, love your content 👍

Waw ! Really nice ! Great Job Daniel !

great video, thanks for posting.

Wow Daniel, once again you amaze me. Your so talented and your attention to detail is unmatched. I love where you are going with this and can't wait to see the next episode. Wonder what you're up to for the body. Surely we won't be disappointed. Best of luck to you in the competition my friend and I'll be anxiously waiting for the next part of this build

I love this fretboard made of marble wood, it looks original yet natural. Great work !

Daniel you do it again. Nice

your videos are great! A ton of great info as well! I'm just starting to build my own necks and your videos are very helpful! thanks!

Great video, dank!

great idea with the spindle sander trick - thank you for sharing that

Very nice, that fret board is amazing

Looks awesome!

Beautiful, love your videos!

Really nice. I’m looking forward to watching the progress.

Probably the best neck video I’ve seen to date 👍

The better jog!!

Great vid, brilliant explanation of your process and you got a lot into the episode without feeling rushed... plus it all looks great... obvs! :D

Beautiful craftsmanship, as always.

Love the checklist! So useful and informative :)

Mega bit is the best for bodies and necks from stock using templates. I love your videos, very detailed from a true craftsman.

Very cool. I love your work and your attention to detail and you make it look fun. As a new guitar builder your videos are very inspiring to me. Thank you

Nice shop! Such fine work. Lovely fretboard. Looking forward to more.

Great video and beautiful looking neck!

Due to a shop 🔥 , I am not in. But Brother, I'm pulling for you, craftsmanship is impeccable! My start in on ny channel. I like glue ups!!

I agree with you about volutes!

Nice done sir

Great video. I have not built a neck from scratch yet - this video will really help me when I give it a try.

excellent workmanship.

Fantastic; I'm so excited for this build and how many people will be exposed to your channel. Good luck, sir.

So cool neck Dany!!!

Working on my second guitar build now. Picked up some great tips. I will definitely utilize the spindle sander with a fence trick. Love how this is looking.

Looking very nice. Lovely looking fret board nice design of the neck executed very well. Looking forward to seeing what the body turns out like.

Off to a fantastic start Daniel! This will clearly be another stunning guitar, far better than my poor effort!

Goudmijntje dit Kanaal! Groetjes uit Canada!

Hey Daniel, thanks for the Video, nice to See Perfection as always😊 where did you get this lovely neck blank from? Would you send me a link to your Dealer😏🤟

Love your work Daniel, but god damn it, why do you have to make it look so easy?

Hi Daniel, (Great Name btw) I noticed a scene where you picked up a remote & turned off a device so you could talk. I think I recognize that remote. Is it for a Wen Air Filtration unit? I have one in my shop & the remote looks identical. Great build series. I realize this is several years old but I just discovered your channel. You've got a new fan! Cheers from Detroit, Michigan USA

Hey Daniel, thank you so much for sharing your precious knowledge in your well done vids....chapeau monsieur....I'm planning to build a bass guitar and I benefit so much from them🙏👌 I'm wondering where you get from your neckblocks... Kind regards from Duitsland

Very beautiful wood for the fingerboard Daniel. Kudos for the risk you have taken there. It looks very good. Does it apply to smooth feeling you are referring to? I wish you a lot of success in this competition! KR, Marten

I just love your work. What is the name of the other wood used in the neck build. I know maple but I’m not sure I’ve heard that other name before.

Hi Daniel, the check list was a good idea! Can I ask you how many hours you spended only with the neck and what is the hardness scale the marble wood? Good luck at GGBO!

Hi Daniel. First of all, beautiful build. There’s something that puzzles me about your process that I hope you can clear up? You profile your headstock shape when the neck blank is square and then cut the headstock angle top first then the bottom cut to give the final headstock thickness using the masking tape as a guide (great tip!). So the result of this seems to be that the tip of your headstock and the edge of any contour is still perpendicular to the top of the neck and not perpendicular to the headstock angle. I think you can clearly see this at 6:42 and I can only assume the laminated strips viewed from the top of the headstock will always be this way. Yet by the end of the video and in subsequent videos, the tip of the headstock and other “vertical” edges now seem perpendicular to the headstock itself. Where does this happen in the process? And how do you do this while maintaining the original headstock shape. It’s hard to find a frame that shows this on the complete guitar so maybe I have this wrong but it’s a bit confusing.

EMG... also make band saws :-)

Really enjoyed that. Looks stunning and I’m going to enjoy watching your build. I’m new to your channel so looking forward to exploring your previous work, once #GGBO21 is over. I’m foolishly trying to watch and support *everyones* build, particularly the little guys with little or no subscribers, it’s time consuming!

Cool and nice organized workflow. How does marblewood feel under the blades/saws? It looks pretty nice. Looking at wood-database.com seems similar to ebony, little more heavier and stiffer?

Hello, i've been watching you for a while now, since i am planning on making a bass guitar, and i am wondering how to find the correct length for the truss rod, obviously, if it's too long it just won't fit, but what if it's too short? How much shorter, if compared to the length of the fretboard, can it be? Would it have serious impact on adjusting the neck, and playing the instrument? Thank you for your videos!

Love it but why no scarf joint?? 😭

Would you be open to sharing your to do list?!

Hi Daniel. Did you make the blank yourself or buy it in? Asking as I do not yet have enough clamps etc & plaining skills to do it myself. Cheers, Ade.

Daniel shown a picture of my neck man was it in very bad shape it took a lot of sanding to get it to this point now with to Radius the neck the 12 before I put on stainless steel brush and I’ll go with the brass nut

Daniel, is there any rule or way to find correct truss rod for my future project? I mean we have to use "x" mm for 24.75 scale, "y" mm for 25.50 scale. So is there any traditional sizes of truss rod for each one of scale sizes? Thank you in advance!

Из такого хорошего бруска для грифа я бы изготовил два грифа для гитары. Головку грифа я бы вклеил под углом, а не вырезал бы из тела этого бруса. Основная причина почему бы я так сделал - это экономия материала и более надёжное соединение наклонной головки с грифом. Ибо есть недостаток у многих Gibson LP и подобных гитар - в шейке от напряжения выламывает головку грифа, так как в основном на таких гитарах головка не вклеена под определенным углом, а вырезана из общего бруса, и в месте перегиба присутствует обрыв волокон дерева.

How many hours does it take you to build a guitar from start to finish?

Waar koop jij je nitro finish? serieus eeh al maanden op zoek.

Hi

im going to make 2 more accounts to like 2 more times so i can be the 666th like on this video!
