Acoustic Guitars Want to Break, Here’s How I Build Them
Building an acoustic guitar is the culmination of hundreds of small steps and the perfect way to push yourself to becoming a better woodworker.
With the help of StewMac, I was able to build this guitar thanks to their huge assortment of tools, jigs, supplies, and instructional material. If you're new to the guitar building world, they're a company you've gotta check out! stewmac.sjv.io/LPe6ra
HUGE thanks to Oran Thorton for the impromptu recording session before I delivered this guitar!

Awesome build man! Love the idea of using a cutout of the soundhole as a logo for the inside.
Thank you! I figured it was a little different and would be a neat way to do the label 😀 Glad you liked it!
Stew Mac tools are great. Unfortunately I dropped my fret cutters on my garage floor and chipped the cutter. They wouldn’t replace them. Sucks when you pay $50 for cutters. Only if they break under “normal conditions .” Great built by the way.
Thank you Daniel, I'm really happy with how this one turned out. 😀
Awesome build! Its beautiful!
Thanks you! Couldn't have done it without ya😃😃
Just amazing Mike! BEAUTIFUL work!
Thank you so much Erin! 😃😃
It turned out so great man!
Thanks Tye! Thanks again for the epoxy tip 👊
That is a nice instrument there Mr. Mike. Happy New Year to you and yours
Thank you sir! Happy New Year to you too! Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas.
Mike, that is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to build more😃😃
Duuuuuuude. 🎉 I was nervous just watching this video. So many ways to mess up. It looks gorgeous. Job well done!
Thanks Christy! Yeah definitely plenty on opportunities for things to go south 😬
I wish you millions of views. incredibly beautifully done job!
Thank you very much!
I've been wondering why guitar makers never build the NECK and HEAD one whole piece excluding the finger boards, instead the head is glued to the neck, would that be difficult to construct due to the angling of the head?
Not too difficult at all. The neck I built for this guitar is essentially that way even though it started as a laminated neck blank.
thats awesome!
Thanks for watching! Glad you dig it 👊👊
