Update: I'll buff the fretboard all shiny for my upcoming videos :)
Watch me glaze the fretboard of my fretless bass with epoxy resin. Witness cool time lapses of the whole process.

I got together with the best musicians I could find to record this funky jam.
I recorded the guitars first (not recommended, usually the drums go first) and then invited the others over to "lay down their tracks".
It was an interesting process for me to produce a song with others and to see how the song comes together.
Also this was the first time I had to properly mic a drum set (no tom mics though). Also thanks to my "bro" for lending us his drum.
The players:
Drums - Johannes Gritschacher http://www.youtube.com/joegritschacher
Keyboards - Philipp Eder http://www.youtube.com/philippeder

This is the full build super cut video for my entry to the Great Guitar BUild Off 2023 - Kit Category, which is an online guitar building competition.
I am building a "PR" kit from Guitar Kit World and I'll do a special acid corroded copper leaf (copper patina) design.
In this build I am going to extreme lengths of guitar customization.
I'll do several things for the first time (risky): I'm replacing a fretboard, I'm shaping an asymmetrical neck by hand and I'm installing frets.
I hope you'll enjoy the result.
The voting for the competition will be done amongst the contestants. The results will be announced in December.

I tell you this: It was an absolutely amazing week.
Mattias IA Eklundh is really one of the coolest guys and best musicians you could ever meet.
At the camp he showed us lots of complicated odd time & polyrhythm stuff, exotic scales amongst lots of other things (also entertaining stories about live as a musician).
The song you are hearing in the beginning is from IA's tuition album "Grow you own Mustache Vol. 1" (an album with practice songs with included notation and tabs), you can get it here:

If you want to go next year, keep watching the http://www.freakguitar.com website, registration for the camp usually starts in February.
