Full Build - Orbital Guitars - Custom T-Type Build and The Curse of Being a Maker

Welcome to the full build and demo of this T-type guitar! This was a video that I really dragged my feet on finishing and uploading because of all the issues and mistakes that happened throughout the build. This video includes the entire construction of the guitar, and a playing demo.

Build was completed October 9, 2022.

The neck is Wenge
The fretboard is Kingwood
The body is Alder and Redwood
The pickups are the "Brown Sugar" set from Bare Knuckle Pickups
(no, they are not paying me to promote them, I just like them)
