Great job Jay. Seriously. I'll never take on a challenge like that myself

you said in the end of the video that youd only consider doing it again if someone did a video of themselves doing one faster.

Ben Crowe of Crimson guitars just did a 12 hour build on a completely custom made, carved top and back, set neck axe. turned out great. He actually went a hair over 12 hours, but
just barely.

That was a strangely addicting video, I couldn't stop once I started. Love the build.

I remember when you first decided to try this.
Glad to see it worked out and you got it on video.
Nice work!

Very cool video and some nice jigs there as well. I might have to steal, uh borrow, some of those ideas. ;-) Very nice guitar at the end, for sure. Way to go.

Cheers Peter.

I could never do that. Even ignoring the time it takes the glue to dry for several phases of the build, I just can't put that many hours into one guitar in one day. After a few hours my brain has to take a long quiet walk.

That was very impressive and it looks like a great guitar. I would've loved more demoing of the guitar!

Really cool work.

eh, I'm over it. it's something i said, but i've since decided to not care what other people are doing at all, and just do my own thing over in a corner.



thanks everyone

Really nice guitar and a beautifully-shot video. Everything about this is inspiring...it makes me want to head off to my workshop right now and pick up tools.

Thanks for sharing this.

Great video! Really enjoyed watching. Started off intending to watch a few minutes and skip around, but it really drew me in.

 

[jimskeet]

Great video!

 

[dsmcl77]

Excellent! Great job, it shows your skill.

Nice work Jay, so cool to see the end result. it may have been a 24 hour build but we all know it took much much longer to orchestrate the entire thing - from the planning stage to the editing etc, you did a great job.
I hope this helps to bring even more attention to your already outstanding work!
