Full Building of a Morrison Acoustic Guitar

Background music was totally unnecessary and distracting.

Nice documentary, but that awful guitar noodling in the background is pretty distracting.

Dang Thanh ninhhh ❤

Wonderful methods ,nice explaining.
As a 50 year woodworker and luthier,I urge you to use PPE. Now at 70, I’m realizing health issues because I did not extract dust. I know for a video you can’t use PPE . Just sayin.
Cheers👍👍

Have you ever tried Titebond II?

I see these guitars only cost around 1500 USD??? How can a fully handmade guitar be so inexpensive?

I have made about 12 guitars, some electric and the others acoustic. I got old pianos for free and used the Sitka spruce out of the soundboard for tops and other woods from the piano for back and sides. Being in NZ the cost of shipping quality guitar wood here is prohibitive.
I realised after quite a few acoustic builds you need a strong wood like Mahogany etc for the sides and backs so the guitar has good structural integrity as that contributes not only to the sound quality but it’s ability to stop creep when the guitar distorts under string tension. I made a jig to work out the neck angle and the alignment to the centreline of the top. I ended up making a screw on neck which could be easily removed if it needed a neck reset if the action got too high. I found the most challenging job was cutting an accurate binding channel especially with the radiuses built into the top and back. I know from experience it is a very time consuming job but interesting going through all the stages one by one. It’s not till you string it up and hit those first chords whether it sounds really good or average. I just specialise in repairs and setups mostly now and have fitted many fishman pre sys to guitars which people seem happy with.
It looks like you put a lot of care and attention to your guitar builds so well done as the guitar factories have tooling for every step of the way nowadays.🤗🤗🤗

I was almost hooked, then...

What amazing work. You are a true craftsman! My question is on average, how long does it take to make a guitar and secondly, where/how did you learn such craftsmanship? Thank you for adding beauty in a world that really needs it.

Looked like no sort of real quality if you watch a master luthier make an instrument, understand many times more cost,
It’s like a fine woodworker making his own tool.
But from the first strum I could tell it was not a quality instrument, it wasn’t even in tune.
These would definitely be a starter guitar quality.
Awesome factory though, interesting tooling, jigs, forms, and assembly.

i have the same Rikon, may I ask what blade do you use to cut back and sides from billets ? Im having trouble with it cutting wider on one side than the other no matter how good i set up the saw

Nice try making a guitar.

Choosing the right tune for the acoustic guitar is highly subjective, but your masterpiece guitar sounds objective and awesome. I wish I have one someday.

yesss... like it guitars

How do you make your own pickup?

Tell me more about your under saddle piezo pick up

Why put six additional frets that are not going to be used? Unless you put a cutaway on it.

so beautiful, thank you

Seems they glossed over the neck joint and attachment- about 3 seconds. Must not be important I guess. ;)

Whew that made me nervous seeing you chisel towards your arm when bracing. I’ve made that mistake once.. absolutely bitchin

I can’t tell you how bad I want this as a job. I’m slowly getting into building guitars after years of woodworking experience but dang this is like my dream job

Hello I’m from Venezuela 🇻🇪. I loved your video! Can you tell me what song it is at the beginning of the video? It’s so beautiful.

Thank you

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Nice build !
I am about to attempt building a guitar with a 100% Ipe back and sides.
Nasty to work with but beautiful and supposedly rings like a bell. It's on the list of the top 10 hardest woods in the world and is extremely tonal.

Thank you building guitar your show

Wow sound really good

000⁰000

Sounds beautiful looks beautiful I love everything about this guitar

LOVE YOUR WORK

Wow! That sounds so open for a new instrument. Nice crisp balance too. Beautiful looking guitar. Nice work sir.

can I buy sprus wood for the top of the guitar

good guitar so want to learn to make guitar

fantastic work and video! thank you

I like detailing your proses man

Man I wish I could do this but I would mess something up sweeping the floor

i wish a gift of one your guitar it really sounds great and pretty too

I'm not sure if the neck and the head are carved in one piece is stronger than traditional design. The section where the head joins the neck is in a very short surface area and follows the grain of the wood fibre, which is very weak and easy to split. While in the traditional method they are glued together at longer and wider surface area. The hide glue is a lot stronger than the natural join of wood fibres. In a way, the glue is acting as a reinforcement of the highly stressed area.

Simply wonderful! Thanks for sharing your work. As I am a beginner woodworker I started to build my first electrical guitar. My goal is to build my own western guitar before I die. Your video will be on my watch-once-in-a-while-list! Your guitar looks great and even sounds greater! The sound of the background music is exactly the sound I am looking for. I don't think I will even get anywhere near to that sound, but I will try!

Beautiful work.

This video was awesome from start to finish. Gentle and informative narration, excellent craftsmanship, even down to the camera work and editing. And to spring it on us at the end, that we'd been listening to that very guitar the whole time, incredible. Thanks guys

I really like how you applied your headstock logo using the transfer and was wondering if you would tell me where you have them made for you?

What a dream to have a hand crafted guitar! Just amazing and beautiful. Your work is amazing.

His voice 🥲🤌

What an awesome walk through, guitar sounds tops.

Beautiful thank you sir!

Fantastic

Всё-таки какой язык этот противный

Eu amei Luttie fantastico .
Quanto custa desse mesmo tipo e material o instrumento ?
