How It's Made: Electric Guitar (Part 2)

[eltotoX]

0:05 A MANGET? lol

[lolocig125]

4:29 I WANT THAT SPECIAL ADAPTER!

[ran27275808]

awesome job

[milodaman2]

How the hell did leo fender do all of this by hand at his job.

[jSalamanca33]

@mattluvsvox921 He's refering to a Piezo pickup, which does do that. It sits in the bridge of the guitar itself. Dipshit.

[GuitarGuy0008]

For the tap test, why do they hit it that hard? If you touch the pole lightly it makes a pop... :P rofl, I love how the narrator failsXD haha, building instruments and working on them is fun, that's what I'm gonna do for a living, I'm an apprentice right now:)

[Shimekiri]

The narrator knows not what induction is...

[sk8boarder235]

Make a ibanez you dickheads

[tango616]

its funny how he has the neck PERFECTLY straight, should always have some relief on the neck, should always have a VERY VERY VERY slight bow.

[djteac]

@tango616 when the neck is constructed, it actually has to be perfectly straight. The slight bend comes when you tension the strings.

[s1r0tt]

he play holy wars by megadeth at the end xD

[deathhoundpack]

@s1r0tt Sadly he didn't :/ It was just a chromatic exercise.

[s1r0tt]

@deathhoundpack i know lol it was a joke cause it sounded kinda like holy wars

[deathhoundpack]

@s1r0tt Lol a little bit, Holy wars is awesome btw...

[OfficialAxid]

@s1r0tt Actually, he just tests it, playing some octaves.

[s1r0tt]

@OfficialAxid I know lol it was a joke 

[ironm4id3n]

@s1r0tt  VICTORY

[roccoownzu2]

I think that if two were to have done this on Taylor, that it would've taken like a 1 hour special for everything, they're handmade, right? I wish I had one, I just play my friends...

[darkeagle551]

the neck shouldnt be exactly straight, it should have a slight bow

[darkeagle551]

why didnt they follow a company that actually makes good guitars??

[Rammstein45]

Godin guitars are SHIT!

[hellohippo123]

people, they are referreing to a piezo pickup within the bridge itself. Poor wording yes, wrong, not quite.

[HiddeHeitbrink]

shouldn't the neck bend up slightly from about the 7th fret?

[ANTON95100]

mmm used guitars!!



[Wingchunskunk]

SCHECTER FTW

[FrozenBrainz]

@mattluvsvox921 They didn't mean the brigde position pickup, but a pickup in the actual bridge

[anonymousguitarguy]

@mattluvsvox921 Most guitars do have a pickup at the bridge and the acoustic like sounding pickup is the mid or neck pickup i believe HE doesn't know

[anonymousguitarguy]

Thumbs Up if you felt like a smartass because you knew all that already!

[re4zach666]

I like dean guitars and basses.

[Xyzd95]

I wish they would show how gibson guitars are made. I dont know why some gibsons are more expensive than others but yet the tonal characteristics are similar.

[djteac]

@Xyzd95 because it says "Gibson" on the Headstock.

[jstarks87]

any one tryed farrida guitars tryed a one off they made tell ya what for £170 from 650. what a guitar looks great sounds and feels brill. tryed a £8.000 fenda one believe it or not i rather have the farrida. lol

[TheLordOfCoal]

I want this job!

[FacebookChicano]

what the fuck? Electric guitar = 250 USD.

Electric guitar materials and price:

Tree = 20 USD

strings = 60 USD

Electrical parts = 70 USD

Metals = 40 USD

FUCKING MEXICAN = 70 USC (Coins)

total =190.70 USD

[imadey0utube]

@FacebookChicano If it costs 190 to make a guitar, then selling it for 190 means that you've earned no money. Selling it for 250 means that you've earned 60 dollars..

That's basically how it is for everything you buy.

[iloveitsoeffinmuch]

@FacebookChicano LOL! Are you serious?! You think stock strings cost $60?

[FacebookChicano]

@iloveitsoeffinmuch the ones used when the guitar itself is made yes. the ones you replace it with no

[demonwx10]

@FacebookChicano Dude are you retarded?

[FacebookChicano]

@demonwx10 No, but you are ZiNG

[demonwx10]

@FacebookChicano What kind of come back is that? At least I don't think strings cost $60

[FacebookChicano]

@demonwx10 Depends if you get custom made stuff =P most expensive strings ive seen are like 30 dollars a pop

[olliedabomb999]

6 tuning keys, one for each string. no shit.

[kaymay12345]

B.c. Rich pwns lol no other guitars are better

[Firebuilt]

@kaymay12345 nah, carvin is higher quality

[ewmehmo]

@kaymay12345

some handmade guitar are better, but i said SOME of them because BC Rich fucking kicks ass, and you have a very little possibility of mistake during the confecction of a handmade.

[augusrockhouse23]

I have the exact same cable!!!

[bfedorick]

3:21 - I think he meant middle pickup, lol

[Jonhey995]

in the 1. part guitar was blue!

[madrigal212]

now i know why guitars are so freakin expensive.

[Jocke337]

@madrigal212 That's a cheap guitar. Gibson and Stratocasters are completely handmade.

[DUY1337GUITAR]

@Jocke337

handmade guitars ftw

[demonwx10]

@Jocke337 nope, they have machines carving the body

[GuitarGuy0008]

@Jocke337 nahh, gibsons aren't really handmade, the are made very similar to this video except in bigger batches:P I still love my gibson but I can pick up any gibson no matter what the price and point out hundreds of little cost-cutting corners and mistakes, nothing big, but it just makes you wanna cry when you pay that much for a "handmade" mass-produced guitar:p

[Pamahana97]

i wish i hda that job while im sitting there playing tom sawyer and a bunch of slipknot and metallca songs they be yelling DUDE QUIT SCREWING AROUND!!!!

[derkman127]

@Adayam actually hes testing the frets of fret buzz xD

[Adayam]

iwhen he started playing his first notes at 4:55 hahahahahhahahahaha. i bet he wanted to rock hard but he rather not bust his first made guitar lol

[ilovearelandj]

does this guy get 2 keep all the stuff he makes? kool!

[MrJackanthony]

According to this video making a guitar takes almost two months. However fender (and gibson I think) Makes guitars in just over 3 weeks.

[never4getthis]

@MrJackanthony i think that gibson allready has thre parts made and then it is the assembly that takes to weeks not sure.

[MrJackanthony]

@never4getthis Maybe. But if you watch their factory tour video they show the entire process and mention the duration to be 2-3 weeks. By the way very interesting screen name. I suppose you have no trouble remembering your login :)

[never4getthis]

@MrJackanthony lol

[BAnders2319]

Wouldn't that suck if you screwed up on one of the last steps by screwing in the tone knob too tight and cracking the finish?

[MrJackanthony]

@BAnders2319 Yeah would be a real bummer.

[Lolzjoe]

I think it's wonderful that you can buy an excellent guitar with some upgrades and maybe a few foot pedals for the same price as an ok trumpet, saxaphone, trombone, tuba........

[mojocaster70]

The guitar at the very end...the final hardware install and testing, is a Godin Freeway Classic. Fantastic guitar. In my humble opinion they are far superior to any mim strat and if you find the right one as I did, better than most american strats as well (with minor upgrades) I also have a higher end Artisan ST by Godin and it ABSOLUTELY blows any fender strat away...period!

[guidantar]

coooool

[RampinUp46]

What kind of guitar is that?

[brandoncrowe1]

godin

[kerrybbi]

awesome how its made :) Taught me alot lol :D

very interesting, it helped my project ;)

[NortonCherry]

What amazes me is with factory guitars and the high tolerances they work to, the frets still need to be levelled! I've watched a DVD called " A Complete Custom Electric Guitar Build" (YouTube preview out there too) and it shows how a guitar is truely handbuilt - the frets didn't need to be levelled either!

[ynon1]

i'm wonder if those workers knows how to play a guitar???

[AlanSturgess]

@ynon1 Leo Fender didn't.

[Kokomokox]

@ynon1 it only sounds like beginner crap because they are just testing the neck

unless that guy really is a beginner :S

[0negative82]

@ynon1 They all play tuba.

[oreostacker]

@ynon1 i wonder if your retarded

[CDtheB123]

@ynon1 I don't know if you were joking, but lutherie is a very precise field to work in. You must know how to play to build one.

[mickthomsonify]

@ynon1 the narrator obviously doesnt know what he's saying. ima guess the others just lie playing with woodshop

[herokight]

@ynon1 That's why I like companies like Gibson. I'd rather have someone that's a guitarist and knows what guitarists like make my guitar.

[imadey0utube]

4:43 So all of the guitars we buy have been used? LOLOLOLOLOL

[flashmega]

Sort of yeah. But I'd rather have them test it before selling it to me.

[Emceetem]

Yes, or else how many malfunctions would everything we buy have?

[imadey0utube]

LOL. I know there is a reason to make sure the guitar works, I just find it funny how all the guitars have been used.

[mk3a2]

Can you believe that? You buy the damn thing! lol

Anyway these are highprice guitars for sure!

[BluntAnim]

@imadey0utube

they have been tested.

they have to be, otherwise you may buy a brand new guitar for 500 bucks or so, and having it not work.

how much of a bummer would that be?

[Novicechicken]

@imadey0utube hahahahaha

[Lucky00751]

@imadey0utube Of course xD we saw on this video xP

[yoyofargo]

Godin's are really nice guitars. If any of you are wondering, that's a Graph Tech Ghost piezo system, you can install it on almost any guitar with TOM, Floyd or fender style bridge; it's not just limited to Godin.

And yes, mass produced guitars have pretty much the same processes anywhere; with the exception of PRS, who's manufacturing vids are on Harmony Central.

[punishedexistence]

Never heard of Godin, but, it looks like a nice guitar. I'd like to see how the BC Rich bronze series are made...probably no where near as elaborate as this.

Pretty cool process though.

[Ibroadcastmyself17]

did he say the nut is made of bone?? 1:48

[Stivsh]

yep . The nut is made of bone , so that it has a better sustain . Except for Floyd Rose which is made of metal :).

[mqmqmwmw]

@Stivsh and for metal

[floatncoffee]

wow didnt know curing time for the finish was so long!!!!

i wouldnt like to be the guy installing everytthing..... one slip and all that curing time wasted LOL

[croccostimpy]

this video simplifies the process so much it's alot harder than it looks

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

I would love to make guitars as a living. Or run a guitar shop.

[fajats]

yep, me too...

[HimHimAndHer]

Routing the back of a guitar for Floyd Roses make it look so ugly D:

[FrAnK9523]

I wonder which model of guitar is that

[3eyedkalmah]

godin?

gibson?

i think it had a G

[iRock613]

it isnt gibson cuz the logo isnt like that but it may be godin.

[sologuitarist321]

yea i think it is a godin

[canadiensfan4evr]

godin is a french canadian guitar company. great guitars

[HimHimAndHer]

Godin, I thought it was Gibson at first because the Les paul shaped body, But in part one when they put the logo on it was Godin.

[Xirallic]

godin

[snare1985]

You're the moron! Those pickups are IN the bridge. Do you know what it's mean? Think about it?

[MikeyTSH]

Lolz this narrator has no clue - sound like an acoustic guitar? Most guitars dont have a pickup at the bridge? what a moron

[Rayvann4ever]

actually the narrator is referring to a piezoelectric pickup that some godin guitars have built into the actual bridge piece - pickup which is, in fact, very different to the 'bridge position' pickup you are probably mistakenly referring to because of its manner of picking up vibrations and not changes magnetic field and because of it's distinctive 'acoustic guitar' sound it manages to produce

i guess it's not the narrator that hasn't got a clue about guitars, huh ?

[GenesisSalemXVI]

It's the Ghost Pickup System produced by Graphtech Labs. It works just as the narrator says.

[supermushy]

ye i have one on my les paul ultra 2

[arrotamiltan]

MAN I NEED ONE OF THISE TUNING DRILLS

[chaplin47]

"standard electric guitars don't have a pickup at the bridge, but this model has one, enabling it to also sound like an acoustic guitar". hahaha. he must have meant piezo

[adris8]

Lol, i never heard of a guitar WITHOUT a bridge pickup, its the middle pickup that doesnt have on most guitar...

[MustangMarck]

Lol I thought the same thing.

[crowdermusic]

yeah, definitely talking about the piezo. It was strange to hear though at first!

[stringwhore]

dude does anybody know how i can get a job like that? making guitars fora living?

[dmartin23]

become an aprentice - there are lots of private guitar makers around the country, assuming u have some carpentry skills, drop in or send in pictures of your work...

[Bempley]

dude, that would be such a sick job!

[skullofpeace]

any1 know where i can get the parts they showed in part 1 and 2 to make my own electric guitar, or would it just be cheaper and better quality to buy a bc rich warlock from guitarcenter for like $190(thats after 6% sales tax)?

[saizni]

you can put fliers up for anyone who had broken guitars, then you can salvage the electronics, if your lucky you get one with a good neck still and only a broken body. If that is the case, its cheaper to build one, but if you cant find any, just buy one from guitar center, and warlocks aren't the best electrics, people like them because of the looks, just buy an ibanez, its cheaper, and has a very good tone.

[musiclovr2]

where are these sold?

[IhateJohnMayer]

guitarcenter

[ffaking333]

thats how they make regular guitars but i custom is made by hand

[rokstr3]

thank god someone posted these videos because now i sorta know how to apply lacquer and how to buff

[willmer88]

i hate when people call the whammy bar a tremelo. a tremelo effect quickly moves the volume up and down, never changes pitch. a whammy bar alters the pitch.

[stevenjw2006]

its called a tromelo douche bag. not a whammy bar, thats just slang

[deepabc]

its called a vibrato douche bag.its not a whammy barits not tremolo, but hey who cares

[musiclovr2]

vibrato bartel, tremlo/or whammy for slang lol

[jake67675]

It IS a Tremelo bar, Whammy Bar is just a nick name.

[asdfasdsfsa]

actually... its a vibrato bar.. the term tremolo is a bit misleading ;)

[aerodyne2000]

Actually a vibrato is something totally different in design, a vibrato works by moving the bridge up and down, stretching the strings over a support bar. A tremolo works by rocking the bridge back and forth, stretching the strings with that action, without having a support bar

[luisTHC]

A lot of work.. But it worth it! cool!

[LeviMan2001]

I love how they make it sound like EVERY guitar is made EXACTLY like that, of course, they're not.

[chrisfiander]

a guitar neck should never be straight... the string vibrates most in the middle which is why the neck needs to be out most there...look at a les paul side on to see what i mean...gibson are not the kind of company to get things like this wrong and they've got quite large neck curve

[LeviMan2001]

theres a little thing called, that ones not right, if its an older guitar it's possible that they neck could have warped.

[cody13smith]

All that work just to get smashed XD

[sk8erzbmx]

thnx, this just helped my ass out =]

[MonsterburstSG]

why would they adjust the truss rod if the neck isn't under tension!!

[gibsonsSG]

well they make them we dont ....

[guitarpianodrumsohmy]

because when they first install it it needs to be set before the pressures added. because the neck hasnt been used yet

[lovegunsnroses]

wow

[cr3w1n]

So Thats How They Do IT
