Dan's Acoustic Guitar Build Part 4/5 With Jonny Kinkead

Time for frets and finishing for this awesome hand-built guitar! Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Dan here, g’day once again! As we gallop towards the finishing process I’m starting to see my guitar really come to life. I remain utterly astounded at the craft and dedication Jonny pours into these builds, and of course humbled that he’s letting us all watch him work. Almost ready now! This is part four of five.

A: Because that’s his name! The guitars are ‘Kinkade’, Jonny is ‘Kinkead’. He chose ‘Kinkade’ for the guitars because nobody could spell ‘Kinkead’ correctly.
