[mrdaltofrevr2]

Does it play well?

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@mrdaltofrevr2

surprisingly yes

[REX05011]

i want to see that thing get wet xD otherwise cool

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@REX05011

wet t-shirt contest?

[dermaterialwart]

It would be great to build this kind of guitars, paint them to look like their real brothers & sisters and finally smack them on stage after playing the very first and last song on it. Save the woods, burn Paperguitars!

[TheJCBsVEVO]

i wouldnt have da patience for did but nice jobe by tha way

[cuteprettyme7]

O.o WOW! urr goood! :)

[DystopianEmpire01]

This would be a good form to cover in fiberglass. then it would be strong and last awhile.

[spunkybrewster1972]

hahaha...great job! This is exactly how Fender makes their acoustic line. Only with less attention to detail. ;-P

[TheSTYX11]

OMG this was the coolest vid i ever watch! Amazing work u did on that guitar

[unstrung13]

huge credit for all your effort and time on this project, however a few parts are a bit over-engineered. i love your use of popsickle sticks for edge stiffeners, and your bridge!!

[DUY1337GUITAR]

I just threw away the guitar just now. I need more space for guitar projects xD

[stevetheurkmanurkel]

How did you make the bridge?

[calebar98]

you put the popsicle sticks in water and they get soft then you can bend them

[jdkrs19]

how did you mold the popsicle sticks to that form?

[nicodanger13]

That's beauty! It deserves to be saved. I made​a cardboard support for the notebook and then I soaked the cardboard with the epoxy applied with a brush.

For three years I use it every day and does not break. Do it you too with this beautiful guitar!

[alaznist]

I remember the build thread for this on RR. Good job on this build S-13

[smkkklia]

what is the thing that you use in 0:26? i'm trying to make one for me too. how does the tuner pegs actually work?

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@smkkklia

They're just clothespins holding down the large popsicle crafts sticks. The tuning is kinda weird. I have to spin to tune and then tighten with the bolt so it stays in place. When I make a new one with actual wood, I'm gonna use real machine tuners.

[MrNappy1221]

That's leet

[gutenschneider]

Make a video on how it sounds, already : O

We're dying in excitement

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@gutenschneider

strings got old and snapped :/

I have a table saw now, so now I want to build one out of scrap wood :P

[synchroflip123]

uhh dude how does this work does it even resonate good.....tuning and sound....like the challenge though love the vid

[Deo144]

guitar like SkyWay and Sounder...

[psalmosguitars]

Dude! You are sooo my hero! I used to build stuff out of cardboard all the time when I was a kid. Never occurred to me to try this! Great job!

[ddanze]

i'm with you on using cheapest possible materials and at same time maximizing the sound...see my home made at ddanze

[PennybagDarrell]

i made a gibson explorer inspired acoustic guitar in my garage. it accually looks more like a esp ex 401.

[asoviva34]

Demonstation onegaishimasu. I really need to hear some cardboard licks. Thank you for your hard work!

[ht448]

Post A Demo!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@ht448

I've been busy with volunteering and stuff, I should be free by this wednesday

[Kingddd333]

Must be REALLY light

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@Kingddd333

pretty much the same weight as a regular acoustic

[MasteRemy74]

i love this idea and your new guitar ;) 

[servantguitar]

love it, wanna hear how it sounds.  Like the sound holes \m/\m/

[alexis221woodworks]

Ha.....I like it......Thinking out side the cardboard box...check out some of my builds

[codychaos95]

i wouldnt use that one around a campfire:P

[chesshirecat2]

demmo it! hah hah great work

[Stratboy999]

I'm amazed. I recall Taylor guitars built one out of a wooden pallet just to see what could be done...but cardboard? Wow!

[guitarheo3]

DEMO!!!!

[TheRockNRollFan]

If your career in music fails, although I don't really know how that would happen, you will definitely be a world-renowned architect. This is supremely cool.

[harkatmulds9]

Nice job! Does it sound decent?

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@harkatmulds9

surprisingly yes

[guitarvibe75]

Demo Please!

[aznguitar92]

that's really cool dude. how's it sound?

[imaumbn]

That is awesome! You also must know everything about building a "real" guitar, to be able to build one out of cardboard.

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@imaumbn

yah I pretty much improvised the steps on how to build a real acoustic when making this

[51Arvyn]

@DUY1337GUITAR about how much does it cost to buy/ build this?

[marcoamf1977]

Holy crap! This is unbelievable! You're a genius, man!

[xbob23]

Cool!

[yamitanomura]

Woow !

That's awesome work.

[DeathWish1331]

Dude, I really wish I was good at this kind of stuff like you are.

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@DeathWish1331

lol, you can easily make an upright 1-string electric bass stick with a long piece of wood, an eye bolt, and a cheap piezo.

[Yowzow]

holy shit!
