I love your videos!
You're a master craftsman, Burl
There us an amazing channel with a couple that does amazing epoxy work, not share if you are of the them it's called Positive Couple, I thought may give you some ideas. God bless God bless you
Since all the colors sink and spread around maybe you should find a way to flip the mold upside down that way the color will look like how the back of those guitars look!!
Make epoxy block shapes that are dry and have colors to put into the clear body before it sets up. Make like hexagon or spirals
My girlfriend makes epoxy jewelry and puts thing inside before hardening like flowers and insects.
I think it would be awesome if you could make another epoxy guitar that is sort of a timecapsule by putting stuff like a small pocket watch or pictures or anything really inside of the body before it hardens, could be an even more amazing guitar to play with memorabilia inside of it.
Duuuude that would be so sick! What a great way to memorialize a guitar player who passed, as well. A guitar made of important items from their life. Damn. I’d ball my eyes out every time I’d play a guitar like that. Such a genius idea.
this is a great idea man oh my gosh
Throw some random picks in there. Then you can always make a joke about how you never lose your pick. "I know right where it's at, I just can't get quite get it."
@@richskater: Womp-WOMP!
kinda cruel to put in live bugs lmfao
Not going to lie, that looks cool. If you could master making whatever made that entrail looking blob you could make a “blood and guts” guitar a lot of metal guitarists would love.
DUDE! I would kill to have a blood-and-guts style 8-string!
Kirk Hammett would love it 😂😊
@@djentslayer and use the blood of the victim you kill!
Neat idea. I don't know how well real entrails (like from a hog, chitterlings are easy to get) would stand up inside an epoxy guitar. Almost any hard or chemical glue tends to be a natural microbialstat. Any oxygen-dependent microbes would not grow, since there is no way to get oxygen in or out or to colonize beyond where they already are or where glue cannot reach. But then what's encased in the glue where the glue cannot reach could colonize and decay, and gases could build. I don't know, maybe install one vent or 2 in a V for aesthetics, and then after a couple of weeks, inject it or glue a plexiglass dowel in the vent. Or maybe bake the entrails before encasing them. Just thinking.
But really, a better option might be to make fake guts out of colored silicone, fill that with epoxy, and then once it dries in a desired shape (such as serpentine, then encase that).
Or for even less work, encase a rubber snake inside. Do the gore theme with the colors. For metal, anything with blood, guts, gore, snakes, or rodents, or skulls might work.
And hell, if you want to go more gothic/punk, I imagine some plastic bats inside could work. You know, maybe a black neck, mostly clear body with bats, and maybe gore (blood or vampire theme), and maybe some purple (associated with vampires). Throw in some glitter too if that fits the theme or the entertainers wear glitter makeup.
I wonder how bugs would do. Like killing some roaches with chemicals, then waiting a few days until they are crispy and any microbial activity has ceased, then encasing the dead bugs. Maybe Chinese cockroaches (water bugs) would be candidates.
I feel like a full coloured pour with a pearlescent dye would look absolutely stunning.
Absolutely agree.
Yep
That demo at the end was just *chefs kiss*
I would buy an album containing your demo songs from the end of your videos. They always have such a great feel to them!
I need three! 😭
Seriously he should put them on Spotify at least
Ah finally, a video where my painting experience can help. When you pour 2 light colors, like yellow and grey, against eachother, they’re going to mix into one color. That’s why only the red came through in the end. You need contrasting colors, like light and dark, or hot and cold. Hopefully next time (maybe next video) the other one will come out more to your liking.
I watch every one of these videos when I'm bored. So entertaining even after watching them all over and over again. Keep up the good work!
Metalic glitter pieces would be cool to mix with epoxy, they might catch swirls dynamics and also give cool variations in reflections.
Its kind of amazing how you get the feeling he's learned so much while making these videos.
I'd be really curious how you'd tackle a mold for a one piece guitar (neck + body a single piece), something like what Aristides does. That could have serious functional benefits as well on top of the aestetics. Really cool build though as always!
I think that would be cool but complicated. Especially when it comes to putting in frets and making sure the neck is straight and doesnt warp or bend when the strings go on -- I mean it shouldnt warp or be warped because epoxy is strong but I still think theres a lot that could go wrong if the mold isnt right.
@@Rose.Of.Hizaki he could probably figure out a way to install a truss rod
@@billbergen9169 I thought of this too. but epoxy generally doesnt have a lot of flex (most likely none at all) when compared to wood
But at the same time i have seen guitars made out of glass so who knows.
@@Rose.Of.Hizaki could have a carbon fiber shell and so it's not to heavy, could be filled with a mix of resin and glass bubbles or some ligh filler, there's a lot of room for experimentation here :)
That would be absolutely amazing to see.
I love watching the process of the builds, even when you’re not personally satisfied with the results. Also, that second demo you played was one of the sweetest you’ve played yet. 😌
Wow you can make a lot of guitars and experiment with designs with that mold. Another great build Burls Art, I'm always waiting for your new videos.
What would be really cool is, you put a new video for your old demos songs. Your a really awesome player. Keep up the good work
Imagine making a van halen frankenstrat guitar, but instead of the design being painted on the outside, it is sealed within a clear body, and also looks kinda 3 dimensional. That would be insane.
dude
inspiration has struck
The new mold is a huge improvement, the guitar body looks fantastic. Would adding individual drops of different colored epoxy be an option? The way the colored epoxy sinks down into the clear epoxy could give it almost a raindrop or meteor shower effect.
Would love to see you make the epoxy really work, maybe kind of like how the inside of a marble look, where it’s just strands of color.
This ended up looking really awesome! Love the effect of the side view!! Nicely done! The mold worked perfect!
That demo at the end felt like I was on hold waiting to yell at my local cable provider lol. Sounds real clean though and came out with a neat design. Nice work man!
Nice one, definitely a unique guitar. Glad to see the mold worked super well, that’s a keeper for sure. Loved the demo, nice delay.
I could listen to your demo for hours. It sounds so relaxing.
Your assesment is spot on -- mold worked great, colors need work --- still way better than anything I've ever done with epoxy -- rock on!
Your videos are zen. They are best way for me to just chill and relax while also enjoying the creation of the gorgeous works of arts that are your guitars.
I'd love to hear what this guitar sounds like with a little gain/distortion. Awesome build! Looking forward to future videos.
You’re always inspiring and I love your out of the box guitars. Unique and perfect!
You and Dave Onorato have answered (for me) the question of "tonewood" for electric guitar.
Man, I follow you from your first guitar, and also that snowboard made full of tape haha. It's amazing how much you improved your techniques of building and the final result. Amazing job man.
Great video. One of my favorite demos btw. Love the feel of the layered bits.
That looks awesome. One of my favorites you have done.
I like some of the textures that were created in the epoxy. This was a fun one as it was a surprise once finished. I’m sure with some more trial and error you can create some really cool layers and patterns. Love the music at the end as always ❤️ keep up the great work!
Beautiful, my favorite one I've seen you make was the coffee bean guitar, looked amazing!
Great work as always. I've not done epoxy work before but have been researching for a few future ideas. It's my understanding that if you want swirly-but-separated colors, you have to let the epoxy just barely begin to set before pouring into the mold and then swirling. Looking forward to more attempts!
Hey man, your guitar builds are awesome, and the demo music at the end is just as awesome! Keep it up bro
Haven't seen your videos for a while now, glad to see you're still creating such beautiful instruments, you're an inspiration man, cheers!
Your builds are always so fascinating. Never a dull moment in any video. Really love your work, keep it up ❤🙌
i don’t know what’s better. your playing or your craftsmanship
I’ve had the same weird results where most of the pigmented resin “settled” I think the trick as with river tables is to let the resin you will pour “set up”/“gel”
The creativity is what I like.
And when something doesn’t work, he shows it and the work around.
Foreign coins would look cool.
Rybonator here on UA-cam makes resin dice. He typically uses water or alcohol based dyes injected straight into the clear resin to get the floating colors effect. Idk if it'd work for such a large piece tho. You could reach out for advice and he might be able to help out with knowledge.
Love the videos dude. Always the perfect amount of information, footage of the build, and its always interesting!
Another beautiful guitar build! I like the way it turned out & it sounds great! 👍👍🎸🎸
Another awesome build. Your guitars are always unique and different. Keep it up!
I always watch your videos no matter what because even though all the builds are fantastic, I love seeing a passionate person work hard. You deserve to see the gains from your work, this is such cool artistic and skill growth ive seen over the course of this channel. Great stuff
These videos are hypnotic man. Nice work...
You playing the guitar at the end is my favorite part
I could honestly listen to you playing guitar all day
The ripples on the edges is a really cool look!
This is the only channel where the videos can be watched over and over again. The one built in the woods is probably my favorite.
It's a completely different type of content but I find myself rewatching Vlogbrothers and Nathan Zed videos fairly often
I liked the drip of the colors inside..it’s gorgeous
Relaxing and satisfying to watch…always look forward to your videos 🎸
Hope to see a few more color ideas with this mold, it's much better than the last one for sure I think!
Astounding build!! Love watching you do your work. Soon you will be "The Epoxy Master!"🤘😎 btw you play very well!
This is the most beautiful guitar sound I've ever heard
I liked all of the designs, wood job man!!
Im hoping to have one of your works. All of them are so cool. ❤️
I think it is pretty cool. To me it is build where you are learning how to use a new resin, etc. The build itself is evidence of this process. A history of learning which is priceless. Learning by doing. 🎸👌🎸✌️😎
I hope you make more of this cool guitar build
I'm saying this out of admiration and respect. I've watched your videos over and over again. When can your audience expect a new video? We love your work!!!
Lovely playing at the end.
Good job!!
Looks nice!
Tasteful playing man. Great job as always.
Would be interesting to see some experiments with thicc pours but in a smaller scale and then apply it to a guitar. Awesome as always!
I wish you could play us full songs I really enjoy your guitar jams at the end of your videos and I wish I could just listen to it over and over it’s so soothing 😍
If you're going to float colours in clear you will need to do it in multiple stages with each setting up like your old method. Pouring it in unset will just lead to what happened with weird sinking and mixing. A cool way would be to make a releasable silicon insert in the middle so you could pour beside and around the insert then take it out when it cures so you'd have a hollow middle to pour into.
Gg on the sponsor. As always, great content Burls
I’ve watched all of your videos multiple times each awesome job
You are a GENIUS as always! Well done! Bravo! Sincere Greetings from Italy!
Awesome Stuff Burl!
You love what you do, and that's what I love about this channel.
I really liked both of the initial experiments with color. They weren't what you expected, but they were really cool in a different way.
this looks sick af, i think with some trial and error with the new mold, you could get some sick looking epoxy designs
Waited for another 🙌🙌
Once you get more experience with this new mold i bet the stuff you'll make will be BEAUTIFUL, it's all about trial and error friendo
Sounds amazing 🔥🔥🔥
I saw all your videos... is insane.
You are a genious.
Have you seen those people that do art by injecting dye via needle into what looks like gelatin? Perhaps you could do an epoxy shell, and then follow that up with something that would hold the patterns and dye better? And the finish it off with more epoxy
Your guitar builds are always great to watch! I also love your demos. Do you have a Bandcamp?
It looks like texture inside the guitar thats pretty cool, and I like how the first one just turned all red hahaha just a matter of time and practice to acchieve what you looking for, congrats for the awesome build
The 3d depth in this 9ne is absolutely incredible
Great job as always.
it's incredible how addicted you are to make GOOD STUFF
everyone would be addicted if you get lots of ad money
Interesting process, would like to see how it goes when you attempt other pours regardless if you make a whole guitar or not.
Also, Burls Guitar Company when?
That tune @ 9:14 resonated with me so much. Very bittersweet. Kinda want a loop of that.
and aside from your awesome building ideas, your playing is also fantastic !
I have an amazing idea. You should make a beach guitar. Epoxy made to look like the ocean from a top view, and the sandy beaches. Super sick
Dude, I love the style of play you put in the demos of these videos. Are these your original music and is it released anywhere?
you should try doing the layered epoxy technique where you basically do a thin layer of epoxy one at a time, and paint on each individual layer giving it a really 3d look. I think it would look awesome on a guitar!
Even though it didn’t turn out as intended, the areas on the side where there are colors floating up to the top is really cool looking. Like you said, it would definitely take some experimentation, but as a first run overall it’s a solid guitar
You’re beyond talented man! Not only can you make guitars, you can play them really well! I think if you used a little less of the amount of colors you used it may have exceeded your color expectations a little more. Maybe a little more spread out too but overall it looks awesome!
Awesome look and great sound and they will get better
Best Guitar ever seen of my life.
Love your positive energy and videos you deserve more subscribers stay blessed burls💪🏽✊🏽😵💫
love your playing
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing at the end
I love this guy. He makes awesome guitars. I repair them every day but I don't get the time or the chance to build.
Would be super awesome if you could put pictures inside of it 😍
I think you've got a fantastic idea. I'm sure you will take it somewhere ! Maybe a deep nebula
From certain angles it reminds me of those transparent fish at the bottom of the sea where you can see some of their insides. That's the effect I'm getting from the coloured epoxy against the clear. Very nice guitar.
The secret to what your trying to achieve is to let each layer dry first. Ive done the epoxy 3D art. If the clear first layer dry then you add you color. Let that dry then add more clear to the level you want. You can add as many layers as you want. Just let them dry.
That was dope!
