Took me two years to finally finish up this Master Edit of the Celeste 2.0 Semi-Hollow build, but it is here now. And it is one helluva journey I have to admit.

This guitar was always a labor of love, so stands to reason that the movie length video of its construction would be like it. Take it in bites or skip around the chapters to find your favorite bits, but to all of those that watch the entire thing: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Seriously.

The Celeste 2.0. A guitar a waited 6-7 years to make and another 2 years to finish making videos of.

And YET... there are two smaller bits coming. The Demo as its own video. And a No Talking, No Music start-to-finish video. Milking it? I think not. Testing formats? Oh most definitely and not afraid to admit it haha.

Thanks again to Joni from @bloodblindmetal for helping out with the demo!

Anyway, enjoy and here are the chapter markers for your easy skipping pleasure:
