#custom guitar #diyguitar
After nearly two months and countless hours of work I'M DONE with my DIY guitar.
There was some trouble with the bridge and my fingers still hurt from all the carving but it was soooo worth it. It pretty much ended up being a custom shop guitar.
Enjoy Guitar Tweakz!

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? Mojotone and Gotoh supplied the parts for this build, so technically it's a paid promotion. (I update this line for every video).
