About

Designing and building guitars inspired by everything, everywhere.... Hi everyone, I'm Paul. Welcome to the channel and thus, the community. Everyone's input is welcome here. Be friendly, enjoy the banter. Nothing here is very serious and I'm certainly not.

Video Description

Join me while I assess and upgrade this cheaper than cheap guitar. I couldn't resist buying this Yamaha Pacifica. it's used, and really, what can you expect in the current quality of new, low cost guitars? More importantly though, can I turn it into a nice playing instrument with minimal cost? Let's find out. Hi everyone. I'm a luthier based in Devon, England. I make electric guitars from scratch here in my workshop. I hope that you enjoy the banter. The main priority here is having a laugh. Secondly, I hope that you might be tempted to have a go yourself, either by building your own guitar or adapting a kit. Making guitars is such a rewarding experience and hopefully you can learn from me, and other You Tubers. I'll be making the guitar body and guitar neck from raw materials on every build. Even if you never give it a go, sit back and enjoy the guitar making process from start to finish.
