What's even funnier is the comment section on this video. It's amazing how many people know so little, so very little about guitars. lol.

TonyKgull,

I bet their are hundreds of people playing guitars of that quality, and they can play them better than me.
I wouldn't be surprised if they take no notice of temperature and humidity.

TonyKgull,no kiddin! Take this for example:

Кылычбек

Отличная ручная работа!
Молодец мужик!
Просто слов нет...

My thought was; CNC? We don't need no stinkin CNC machine!

But, to your point, TonyKgull, it's amazing, astonishing, dismaying that people know so little.... period. Guitars are a bit esoteric- but common sense/knowledge is abundant.

Derick,TonyKgull,Garland,

I've thought about a guitar DIY kit, but that's all I've done.
If you could make a really nice Job, bet you would get a lot of satisfaction from it.

Takes a lot of clamps- and a 55 gallon drum of patience

I did not see that he even installed a truss rod. Without a truss rod, temp and humidity are going to be the least of your worries. lol.

Ya, I did notice that and forgot to mention it! I laughed pretty hard at that. Some might say that's an aesthetic choice, I call it being dishonest at the very least.
