TELECASTER STYLE GUITAR BUILD - Great Guitar Build Off 2020 unofficial. Pallet+Resin Guitar Build. HD

I build Telecaster style guitar for the great guitar build off 2020 unofficial out of pallet and epoxy resin. The great guitar build off 2020 unofficial competition will start on Instagram in late October 2020. If you would like to be up to date on it make sure to follow me on my Instagram: @magicatticguitars. I will be very happy if you will vote for my guitar when the competition kicks off. This is a full guitar build video. I used Fender Telecaster guitar shape for the reference and change the shape a bit, so it is not an exact copy. I used my own headstock design and I think it fits the guitar design well. So I end up with this semi-custom guitar design This guitar build was a big challenge because I never worked with epoxy resin on this scale. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and I learned how to fix them or avoid them in the future, so I can say it was a very educational build for me. I hope you can also learn something from this video. I used an old pallet for this guitar and I think the discoloration of the wood made a very cool effect on the guitars body. It was a challenge to prepare and brake all the pieces and make them in to a Stratocaster guitar shape. It took 420 pieces and a lot of time to complete the body. Epoxy resin I used on this guitar is Dipon De 3D epoxy. It is a deep casting epoxy resin that cures very slowly and because of that it lets all the bubbles out before drying. They claim it is possible to achieve crystal clear bubble free end results without even using vacuum. Obviously I failed in this part. First thing I should do is properly sealing the wood with a coat of epoxy. And the second thing was my poorly made mold as you see in the video. So we will see if this is true in the next guitar build. It also has a good UV resistance and is 100% transparent without yellow tint. Over all I liked to work with this epoxy resin and can already recommend it, so I will put the link below. I would like to thank Roman Lužar from Teal for giving me some tools and letting me to engrave my logo on the back plate with his laser. I used the same epoxy resin for finishing the guitars body, and I used Crimson guitars finishing oil for the neck. I put two coats of penetrating guitar oil and 2 coats of high build guitar oil. I really love this product. It gives a nice natural look and feel to the wood. It is much more pleasant on the touch than most finishes and it makes less friction while playing, so I highly recommend using it especially on guitar necks. Find the ling below. It took three months for the whole guitar build and another three for editing this video. I recorded 300 GB of footage and edited it all by myself. There is another video coming out where I recorded the sound and I will try to make a shorter edit of guitar building and playing. Thanks to my sis Ilona, bro Ezav and friend Simon for helping me to film the sound demo. And thanks to Erik Šnajder for playing the guitar. Check out his youtube channel: ht
