      I wish you would get a mic really close,,,, and strum a few different guitars unplugged, and then side-by-side it with the concrete guitar,,,, then stick them all in the same amp, nice and clean, and side-by-side it,,, then give a little grit, then a heavy distortion., (try to be using basically the same pickup for the testing,,, like, neck only, or bridge only ,,,, I know pickups are all different too, but if you start unplugged, you might be able to see where the personality of the unplugged sound comes through just the same.

Road rash is always nasty, but digging rocks out of your arms and thighs suck equally as bad. You know that last little bit of control you feel as the one wheel seemingly veers out of control cause you over compensated your reactions to hitting an unseen mud holes on a dirt road?

  • @dinitroacetylen
    @dinitroacetylen Рік тому +298

    The funny thing with electric guitars is that magnetic pickups read the oscillation of strings and nothing more. Ok, technically a pickup is mounted on the body, so it is oscillation of strings relative to the body. But strings are light and flexible, whereas wood is heavy and rigid. The principles of momentum conservation dictate that the oscillation will distribute itself so as to favour the motion of something light and flexible. Long story short, the body barely oscillates compared to the strings, even if it is balsa wood. So, the wood barely contributes to the signal. And denser material will make its tone contribution even smaller.

    • @EricTViking
      @EricTViking Рік тому +114

      Absolutely right. There was another video on YT where a guy made a guitar where he could swap out the bodies really easily. So he made about 6 bodies ranging from mahogany to pine, to part of a modern door that is veneer over cardboard. He captured the waveforms for a chord played on each, and they were still exactly the same. Tonewood is a complete myth. The tone comes from the pickups and the players technique.

      There should, however, be a noticeable increase in sustain, as the kinetic energy from the string oscillations doesn't transfer to the body, so less energy is dissipated into the guitar body.

      There has been a competition for building and racing concrete canoes. In the Netherlands. Started as a joke among students who learnt about concrete constructions. Many years the challenge has been to get the lightest kayak or canoe possible. Breaking that record grew harder and harder. Ever heard about pre-tension? And carbon fibre in concrete?
      Those fanatic canoe builders would have no problem, building an acoustic concrete guitar.

    There is a material called avonite. It's similar to Corian, the sandable countertop material. It's a little more brittle than corian but light passes through it.

    Having worked with concrete my whole life. This is by far one of the COOLEST applications for that material. I don't know if the creator will read this or not. But another thing you can try is polishing the concrete body of the guitar. It's using a concrete polishing wheel, it's kind of like a grinding wheel same family. By polishing you would pull out all the aggregates within the concrete to the surface. Still following your procedure of sealing afterwards and etc. ~ as a guitar player, I appreciate the creativity of your materials and making a playable instrument as long as you have some muscles.!
