homemade guitar

[DOitHAAAARD]

why didn't you invent your own dising? Your fantasy can only copy already invented things, doesen't it?

[Maggot2607]

You don't need flashy graphics to be great. You need a good sounding guitar and skill. I mean look at Jimi Hendrix. He played a right handed Stratocaster restrung to the left. Simple and now he is God.

[MaidenFan24568]

1 humbucker, 1 volume, stoptail bridge, simple but very effective 

[blue4219]

That guitar is too simple. If I did it, I'd atleast make it look cooler with graphics like Dan Jacobs of Atreyu, for example. His is beast!

[laiholapso]

i love how most people can't play and build a super guitar

he can play super and builds a simple guitar

[TheMelani12]

woow i love it

[dannyo009]

Love the simplicity of the guitar

[jojogreenful]

wow great

[engineeringdotcom]

beautiful homemade guitar! - /watch?v=Uv4cnFCEDq0

[xxjaposk8xx]

y los potenciometros y las pastillas :/

estraño pero el resto esta bien

[jonrl44]

fantastic, as for people who dont like the look, stfu and get off your lazy negative ass and make your own!

[CROGrof]

Copy of the explorer. And damn ugly copy.

[Kosmaty87]

ugly xP Where is ...hmmm ...everything? but sound is fuckin sweet!!

[superlinkarts]

Looks sweet man.

[Shredderistic6]

I think it looks and sounds great! Does it play well?

[44jackolantern]

it aint beautiful but looks real raw and home made which looks cool in this case

[TheMick26]

Very skilled person! Nice job on the playing and the build!

[dimebaglives890]

what pickup its that ???, sound great and what kind of wood ??'

[FooFightersJH94]

If you can make a guitar, why not make it look good?

[hardestbuttontobutto]

i dont know if you will read this - but guy that guitar is a dream - very beautiful - great that it has only one pickup and great sound - good job :)

[mads1120]

its so ugly, that its beutiful!

[MrRob159357]

bull shit i saw that at the guitar center bitch

[1xDRCx]

@MrRob159357 you proabaly saw a Gibson explorer, which is the body shape he modeled it after, But there are some significant changes, his has No pickguard, it's all white, The edge on the horns are much sharper, and it only has one pickup and one knob on it, which aren't placed at the same position on an explorer. :)

[tabslayer]

@1xDRCx thats cuz it's not an actual explorer its made in his fucking house... :P

[1xDRCx]

@tabslayer I know, I was replying to somebody who thought that he bought this guitar, and was explaining to him that the guitar he saw was a gibson explorer.

[thebolowingpin]

is it still up for sale

[Shredderistic6]

Awesome! that sounds great!

[WeltenbrandBM]

now THATs some sound, man... great work... mind building me an iceman? ^^

[gozoisawesome]

love it dude !!!!!!!!!!!

[Le5Pau1]

Very nice :)

But may I suggest you put some cool stickers on it or something to you know, 'liven it up' a bit?

[clayton141m]

May i have it??:)

[xXmorante2Xx]

its perfect just one pick xDDDD... why more than one if you just use one... and its sounds amazing *-*

[sasukeuchihalb]

epicness! :D

[flyingsquirrel73]

Sounds great dude...cool tone- I always liked the explorer, James Hetfield turned me onto them..would love to make my own guitar someday.

[MennacetoSociety]

nice dude :o

has a nice solid bassy tone

[zzirDixonrizz]

TUSH!

[TasteForDisaster]

like that kiwimetalhead said, it's not bad. it just seems empty to alot of people, oh and i can see that you were lazy or just a bit poor cause there's only one pickup, and a volume knob. no tone knob, (and there isn't a pickup selector, but you only have one so that's not really an issue) your guitar just looks really plain

[FaronPL]

i dont think so

[TheDarkShoT25]

well done man!!!!!

very good job

[jochiasson]

I find it very nice...wish I had the talent to build mine!

[TerrorcausT]

If you think this guitar is shit, post a response of the guitar you made to prove a fucking point. This may not be perfect but it plays, sounds and looks badass considering its home made.

[tilster11]

thats nice man :D im making my own at the moment and ive got everything down now except for one thing. the action is way to high yet the bridge (tune o matic) is as far into the body as possible. im not sure how i can lower the action, maybe by raising the neck from the body a little more? it would be great if you could help thanks.

[eXkillswitch11]

@tilster11 i build guitars... the first thing i would try is adjusing the bridge but if its tun o matic ur not gunna have much luck, so the second thing i would try is taking off the nut and either making one or buying a new one or you can file down the string holes and the action will mostly likely be lower.

[tilster11]

@eXkillswitch11 i thought it might be the nut ive got a locking nut so the area the nut goes in is a bit to wide for a standard nut. this means that filing the sting holes wouldnt make much of a difference. the locking nut is a bit new to me so at first i wasnt to sure how to fit it ive turned it around which is how i think its supposed to be but now the action is to low in the lower frets causing string buzz and to high after at the higher ones. should i put a wedge in the neck pocket ?

[janerik671]

get an ltd explorer

[MAC616]

Whale shit.

[1guitarfreak4]

its great, but the neck doesnt really suit it well. nice job though

[misterbungleable]

sounds suck

[UuWHITEPANTHERuU]

Holy shit, it looks paper thin. How wide is it?

[alex420ism]

@UuWHITEPANTHERuU if you look at it the sides are painted black so it makes it look thiner :)

[ineedmybib]

how did you cut out the space for the pickups

[ht448]

@ineedmybib Router

[lucaswsf]

Is it made of Plywood?

[cadauctions31]

This sounds really awesome. How much to make me one just like it?

[Loucozinho]

Good Improvisation Buddy

You got some skills

[J03SA]

looks sharp...

[markizlegit]

is that a killswitch or a hole in the guitar?

[IGOTASIXSTRING]

@markizlegit volume knob

[44magnumbr]

Nice Guitar, Man !!!

[PinBallMap86]

thats pretty fucking cool man. im work on my own guitars myself. regretuflly, im not crafting them from scratch. i would love to one day, but for now im just repaiting, hot-rodding, and fixing people's guitars to get my crudentials up for the time being. and it doesnt hurt that i just love to fix guitars. Cool vid, thanks for posting it!

[mrjamezz]

hahah that guitar its awesome man,,,and it sounds cool congratz

[mrjamezz]

hahah that guitar its awesome man,,,and it sounds cool congratz

[currentsnake]

looks good sounds good, killing two birds with one stone

[shockwavecrisis]

really good sounding but u couldnt put a design on it?

[manafreek]

sounds good nice job

[doralman6661]

it you was to build a guitar for someone what would it cost

[number3665]

for some reason it reminds me of something id see on space ghost cost to cost

[CapnTac]

That's really cool!

[AFuruholm]

damn thats ugly

[fernyxferny321]

@AFuruholm go build one yourdelf andsee how hard it is i made one(i have no videos of it)its fuckin hard.

[RenegadeDaem0n]

@AFuruholm butit plays well.

[kohy1990]

lol strato Neck+headstock XDD .. Btw nice guitar:P The sound is realy nice:D

[JonnyMonster91]

Goofy looking hunk of wood, ain't it?

[ZenGuy12]

@Aceoflaze or you could even win your own pickups. im not sure about pots or machine heads but pickups are doable

[xxrenandaxx]

gibson should endorse you!

[ronroberson]

dude , thats an awesome axe.great riffin too., keep up the good work . after all thats how prs got started.thanks, ron

[KingNasrify]

i think gibsons gonna sue u like they did with esp xD

[mistyzeldaforest]

if u made me a guitar u get to name the price lets keep it under 10k please yes thats 10,000 american currancy

[techiins]

can u pls send me the template for this pls

[hatehomework]

no bridge?

[NosEaterZATHARSHA]

@hatehomework Wraparound bridge...

[COHEEDxWORLD]

epiphones are pretty amazing though dude. its just the name of gibson, thats why it sells for 1000s of dollars.

[EatGanon]

:D super awesome omg this is great

[spankysteve43]

did i hear zz top?....lol

[TasteForDisaster]

you should have added another pick-up, also worked a bit more on the body's design. but it's pretty good

[AstroChrome]

neat idea, horrible playing

[sedohrable]

that is the type of guitar i would make(but i would have a volume knob,tone knob,and two humbucking pickups)

awsome guitar and guitar riffs

[techiins]

@sedohrable dude its alot of differnce for instence if u add more pickups then u would need a whole new template n a hole for the toggle

[boggsty]

i really like this but i really miss the neck pichup :( anyway great! i wish i could do this

[SnopElsker]

meaty sound you got there!

[crazytacoburger]

pretty cool, bad place to put the jack though, that'd make it difficult to play sitting down while plugged in, cuz ur leg would hit it. I could never do something like this though! awesome job.

[jackwontknow1]

too pointy for an explorer.

[AlexM1175]

@jackwontknow1 thats y its called custom . it is his design.

[vikking95]

nice guitar:) awful color

[TheComaDay]

could use some detail to the paint job but the guitar is awesome dude

[DeathMetalMikey]

I very much like that shape

[MrJTMagnum23]

I loves it! Rock n' roll

[movienoc101]

what song is that at 2:24?

[680540]

@movienoc101 Enter the Sandman by Metallica

[movienoc101]

@680540 woops, i meant 0:24 but thanks for responding anyway, btw it's Enter Sandman :D

[680540]

@movienoc101 Oh ok.The song at 0:24 is Tush by ZZ Top.

[mrtim81]

@movienoc101 The sont at 2:24 is Enter Sandman by Metallica. The first song on their Black Album.

[mtownguitarplayer96]

Fuck yea! nice guitar

[riffmasta1993]

I don't like the paint either but it looks like you did an excellent job on it.

[matt15j07]

Good job mate.

[asf1187]

What tools do you use for the wiring?

[ichicolla]

jaja tush !!!! zz top

[2346]

the paint job makes it look cheap but i bet the parts you use make it good

[JHaSung]

Great job..1 question though

did u get the parts from another guitar?

[Humanius93]

Any1 who diss this guitar, i dare you, no i double dare u to make a better one :P

[tMattLZ]

i dont like the finish but it sounds great

[ragedven]

very good job :)

[vin7891]

dude. its a guitar, give the guy a break, it sounds great, that's what counts. intonation sounds right too. props

[carlitoperronez]

like it

[jemshredder666]

looks crap man

[habibabab]

i agree

[iKiwiMetalHead]

It's not crap at all, I bet it's a shit load better than your's if you could make one.

[Scream7277]

@jemshredder666 *AHEM* sounds very good though, where is the guitar you made then had the balls to show it off in a video >.>!?

[erwinees]

cool

[ht448]

are you gona make this new guitar you talk about soon?

[MaxTaxFax]

what kind of wood did you use for the body?

[pandemichalo92]

Didn't look as nice as it sounded, but great job anyways =P

[TheRaven0us]

Cool, your won-made guitar, but i think the edges are too sharp, it looks like a box (in the shape of an explorer) way too straight in the sides, doesn't look very natural

[LanceMetal]

awesome stuff 5*

[angelrebelemiall]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bcmagz888]

@dark tiger.......lol

[darktigerblader54321]

sounds like a les paul man good job

[DrinkingRoses]

im probably gonna get hated for this

but i think you should make the lines and angles even sharper

and leave it unpainted like that

beautiful

[latiosmarinov]

Paint it dude,paint it!!!

[HotFlames666]

Nice nice!!!

You can make it more 'personal' to put you own art on the body!

[GuitarNinjaVince]

hey assholes if his video is that bad then post one thats better urself but untillyhen shut the fuck up

[SexyTriggerMan]

james hetfield much?

[Harrysound]

This is not a good version of the Brand New Start solo by Alter Bridge lol

but well done for making a guitar

[captgjohnson]

nice job on ur own guitar...

but poor attempt at Tush - ZZ Top

[midgetklown]

My buddy had a guitar that looked exactly like that except it was diamond plate instead of just the plain metal

[homerhuntley]

the explorer shape is sweet actually..

[chrismortloch92]

definatly a poor copy of the shape, what a POS

[bfmvsk8]

o nice guitar has a perfect tone bad assolo

[Keeponskating]

First off all i respect you work :) must be hard to make a guitar.

But only a pickup ath the bridge? None at the neck??? Then that ugly colour that make the guitar look like a alumium sjit stuf thing. Give it just a warm colour so you can actualy see its wood.

No offence but i really don't like it. Soz

[VileMisanthropy]

HAve you seen the Jackson RR24? or Alexi's ESP signature? they have only bridge pickups and there $1000-3000 guitars.

[7raczyk]

@Keeponskating He made it for himself, you retard. IF you don't like it, go make your own. And for the record, not every guitar has to be warm, fuzzy and gay like a Les Paul.

[sportquattro100]

I know he made it for his own... He made it his why, whit the colours HE liked. Thats why i said no offence... And i respect your work. Dam, if you say your own opinion on youtube, you always get bad anwers back :s

[7raczyk]

Don't say anything if you don't have anything constructive to say.

[captgjohnson]

@7raczyk whoaaaa hey now...yea not every guitar has to be the same...for sure...but do not ever call a Les Paul gay u asshole...

[7raczyk]

Not everyone likes the Les Paul. Live with it.

[MrDeadhead12]

tush!

[FractureTheBand]

Or Dr Rock by Motorhead, same riff hahaha

[zorzo666]

enter sandman=played wrong

[hfiupcnjkqlreuipc]

shiny+no visible knobs... can u see urself in it? lol

[DarkWarrior450]

You have a future as a luthier if you work at it. Keep on building dude!

[evilsatival]

Sweet guitar, bro! Sounds great, too.

andrewsguitarcovers- What the f*ck, dude? His guitar is sweet, especially because he made it himself. Does it look like he was trying to keep it symmetrical? Were Dimebag Darrell's guitars symmetrical? Also, it's not practical? It's a f*cking GUITAR. That, in and of itself, is its' practicality.

[andrewsguitarcovers]

okay ill take every ones comments cause i obviously have taste in classic guitars such as les pauls, explorers, flying vs, ect.

P.S. i never said the guitar was utter shit and i never said he was a shit luthier.

[halosandbagels]

Several fails within this comment. First of all spelling: Alright, Considering, Symmetry, Practical, Reconditioned. Secondly, in the description he said he wanted an Explorer. Try putting that into Google before you leave a stupid comment about symmetry.

[andrewsguitarcovers]

who gives a shit about my spelling and every guitar has equality i'm not saying that it should have square like shape with perfect corners and straight horizontal and vertical line i'm just saying that it's unproportioned i know hes not trying to make an exact gibson explorer but it has to be in proportion.

[stefanosmetal]

idiot

[loubean16]

now just put the words eet fuk on the top left corner and add 1 more pickup and you have the most kickass guitar ever

[TheAntiHeroHimself]

There's this one guitar i've been wanting to make, but i lack funds, but i'm sure it would be pretty fun to make one. Love yours, love explorers, 5 stars.

[TheIronHayden]

Shiny

[DJalex133]

UGLY

[FatKidCookie]

it looks like esp ltd explorer :) , nice riifs too

[ht448]

WERE did you get the electronics plz help me

[redghost105]

man if your gonna customize a guytiar

really customize it and make it so rare only you could think of it

give it a new body shape and a awesome paint job

your a aawesome player dude...you should have a guitar that matches your skill

[ht448]

yea but not always cuz you might like a guitar that you cant afford so make your own

[redghost105]

@ht448 ya....if i could customize a guitar thats what i would do...even though i dont have enough money just to blow on a few thousand dollar guitarr

id sill save up for it

[phailiurez159]

Easier said than done. Its much easier to work off someone else's design. Plus every time you add another cool mod you significantly raise the price and difficulty of the build. This is his first build too. Anyways, don't mean to troll, just wanted to point that out.

[wagalashi]

if you were to sell that how much?

[JDrockerDUDE]

i like the body shape, its like a customised exploer
