Yeah. It is simply an aluminum instrument that has absolutely no connection to the original material. Seems like a waste of the coins and time. Why not just carve or melt aluminum if that's the case?
I watched his coffee bean guitar video today. And I’ve had a phantom sort of coffee aroma in my nose ever since. 🤣 Burl does some incredible work for sure.
That red finish gives it a classic and rustic look as if it's a relic from the past, amazing job. Here's an idea that might be cool, but also functionally a pain in the ass to make: making a guitar body out of roman style concrete
Have you touched real Roman concrete?? Shit is more brittle than a high school relationship. Seriously, it's lighter than than standard concrete (high lime(stone) content?) and partly because of that I think so much easier to break. A 2" piece of concrete you can just barely not break with you fingers world be like a chocolate chip cookie to break if it was made by the ancient Romans. Just sayin
This is one of the most scientifically over-engineered guitar constructions I've ever seen, and it is honestly amazing. The fact that you went from making your very first guitar out of just coloured pencils to this, is nothing short of awe-inspiring!
It's not even close to being overengineered. It was a very simple design but still a great build. If you want to see over engineered, check out the metal 3d printed guitar build for Ynngwei Malmstien
@@MobiusBandwidth He could remove the tuning knobs and TIG weld a coin to each tuner to have one for each string. Then just turn each coin to get the instrument in tune.
This is actually a chemistry/science class using the premise of building a guitar to keep the students interested. Very clever. This is just one more awesome video. Take Me Home Country Roads - excellent musicianship.
My thought was that the ebay sellers would be jumping for joy, because this guitar means there are 1600 fewer of the coins that might end up on ebay... I think the screams of "nooooooo" would be buyers realising that those coins are getting rarer
Burl, I know alot of deceased Radio Shack nerds who were all about that store for electronic builds. I never knew about those coins and I highly suspect if my late friends could both see and hear what you did with those old aluminum coins? They'd have a big ol' grin on their faces. Tremendous job, and kudos for picking up the nuances of a new instrument!
Man, you're incredible. Just doing what you love, and doing it on our own terms - it's admirable. Your passion shows through how obsessive you are with every detail, nothing short of legendary. Marvelous.
As always, love the video, and love the guitar. I got chills when you started playing what sounded like Take me Home, Country Roads. I just really wish you would've somehow added unmelted Radioshack coins to the build. Doesn't matter, because it's still awesome!
This is awesome. Would have been cool to put 1 of the RS dollars as a headstock emblem somehow, or maybe just somewhere on the side of the body or something? Very cool project. Thanks for sharing, and that Country Roads rendition sounds awesome!
I was thinking he was going to cast the coins in acrylic or something, but he just used them for their aluminum content, he could have used beer cans or anything. It may have been a nice touch to use a coin or two as a neck inlay? Of course his work was excellent, and his finished product was outstanding.
Your builds never fail to impress, its great to watch your creations grow and evolve with time. You inspire me to continue making things and I'm sure you inspire others as well. Keep up the good work!! I can't wait to see what's next!!
It's always entertaining to watch you work. Nice to see you learning from the previous aluminum build and applying it even though this is a different style of guitar.
The whole process itself, your skills on the matter and the final performance of Take me home, country roads were very well done, thanks for the video. Greetings from Honduras!
Dude, you’re a amazing artist! My son and I love watching your channel! We love you and all the great guitars you bring to life!!! Keep up the great work!
Burl you are a mad genius bro me and my wife love watching you bring these ideas to life and its also awesome you keep all the mess ups and problems in the video so people can learn
Awesome work Burls! I love each time you make a video! These always make my day each time I see them. Please whatever you do, don’t stop unless your health becomes a problem.. until that day please don’t stop making these awesome videos
Fabulous video. I play lap steel and was also an apprentice in a casting factory (Paxman Diesels UK) l really appreciate all the work you put into this project, and thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it immensely . Brilliant effort.
That was so cool to watch. In part because I had never heard of a lapsteel guitar. Here's to learning something new, and hearing some sweet music at the end.
Your creativity is amazing. Please keep doing crazy stuff!!!!! Thank you for all these videos. I also love to see all your mistakes. When we do stuff for the first time we always make mistakes. Creative success is always on the far side of failure. Just keep at it. This project was amazing. You totally Rock!
I know nothing about metal casting or playing a guitar, but I found this absolutely fascinating. I’ve always loved sound of a steel guitar and the rendition of “Country Roads” was beautiful. You are a really talented person. Thanks.
I love lapsteel guitars, it was really interesting to see one being built. I also really liked the rendition of Country Home at the end. One of the coolest videos I've seen in quite a while 😊
Simply incredible. This truly feels like a heritage piece you can hand down. Absolutely extraordinary craftsmanship. You are so damn talented. I've got three final words for ya...Mississippi Delta Blues. 🎶🎵
Super fun build to watch. Only wish you had inlayed one of the original coins into the end or something - just a tribute to the origin of the idea.
He could probably still do that
I just came here to the comments to suggest the exact same thing.
The top and bottom of the coin.
Same, what a shame.
Yeah. It is simply an aluminum instrument that has absolutely no connection to the original material. Seems like a waste of the coins and time. Why not just carve or melt aluminum if that's the case?
Burl is getting crazier and crazier with his ideas and I am all here for it
Sameeee!
I watched his coffee bean guitar video today. And I’ve had a phantom sort of coffee aroma in my nose ever since. 🤣
Burl does some incredible work for sure.
@@OldStreetDoc definitely, would love to own a bass by him but my pocket says no
That red finish gives it a classic and rustic look as if it's a relic from the past, amazing job.

Relic from the past, just like most of the aluminum of the body. Lol
Fantastic idea Left Testicle

how is this over engineered?
@@tvviewer4500 Bro learned a buzzword, was dying to use it. Let him try to sound smart please?
It's not even close to being overengineered. It was a very simple design but still a great build.
If you want to see over engineered, check out the metal 3d printed guitar build for Ynngwei Malmstien
"Scientifically over engineered guitar construction "
Wow. That's very good.
This is the most logically thought-out, trouble-shot, and executed guitar constructions that he's done since the last one.
Great playing at the end too - really impressive on all fronts both in terms of building and playing!
I'm a simple guy. I see a Burl's Art notification. I click.
Radio Shack was the place for all of our electronic needs back in the day… What a cool tribute. Love your videos !!!
I was hoping he'd mount a couple of the unmelted coins onto this build, showing each side.
@@MobiusBandwidth that would've been so cool

As you were dumping those coins in the furnace I could hear in my mind the tormented screams of ebay sellers, noooooo.
😭😭

John Denver would approve 👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼

That was awesome! I am always excited to see your builds. They always blow my mind in ways I did not expect.
That lap steel sounds fantastic!!
Absolutely love this build and your demo at the end. What a laid back masterpiece of overall artistry.
I look forward to your videos and am still always met with awe. Great work!
Your builds never fail to impress, its great to watch your creations grow and evolve with time. You inspire me to continue making things and I'm sure you inspire others as well. Keep up the good work!! I can't wait to see what's next!!
It's fascinating and relaxing to watch you work. Great job!
You some how always manage to make something so awesome every time you build something. Fantastic work! 🤘🏻
The anodizing process was partiularly interesting, thanks for sharing your project!! And explaining the various steps.
Looks and sounds magical! Your builds are the best.
Absolutely incredible build! And I loved the demo, too... Props all around, Burl.
Always an instant watch👍🏼👍🏼👌
Really is amazing to throughly enjoy your skill level and passion for these projects. Oh, and I thought your playing was terrific!🎸
What an incredible tone. Did not expect it to sound so warm.. excellent work
Those imperfections from the anodising 100% make it look even better!! Amazing build as always!
Gotta say this is one of the cooler builds. Love the open neck. That is something I have never seen or expected to see. Well done
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful tune at the end.
This brings back so much nostalgia with my memories of going to RadioShack. One of the coolest guitar builds I’ve seen yet! 🎸
Fantastic piece of art.
What would make just that little bit cooler, would be to make control knobs covered with the original coin.
Yeah guitar should include coins in from or other.
One of the best rarities on youtube - a new Bulr's upload!!!!
incredible as always!
Well done, you, great look, and a great sound.
Nice to watch the faults ad apposed to a perfect edited piece.
Beautiful playing. Outstanding build. Love your videos.
Ok wow, amazing build, fantastic playing at the end too. Always love seeing what you make.
It's always entertaining to watch you work. Nice to see you learning from the previous aluminum build and applying it even though this is a different style of guitar.
Love the build!
Bravo, sir! You killed it! Great rendition.
Your ingenuity and creativity never cease to amaze!
My great grandmother, Lois (Gripman) Tuttle, started RadioShack. It's fitting to use the coins for a guitar. She was the start of RCA also.
According to Wikipedia Radio Shack was founded by Theodore and Milton Deutschmann.
The whole process itself, your skills on the matter and the final performance of Take me home, country roads were very well done, thanks for the video.
Greetings from Honduras!
Dude, you’re a amazing artist! My son and I love watching your channel! We love you and all the great guitars you bring to life!!! Keep up the great work!
Dude - this is insane! Nice work! By far the best out to demo too so fair play for sticking it out I really want a lap steel now 🤘🤘
Enjoyed the video, and what a treat at the end! One of my favorite songs ❤ people like u make me wanna become an engineer
Great playing at the end there! Beautiful guitar as well, great job!
Country Roads sounds amazing on that steel! Awesome job man!

Over the past week I have totally gone down the lap Steel rabbit hole thanks to this video, never realized how beautiful of an instrument it could be!
me too!!
Well done Mate, Great job with the Lap Steel, and a Lovely sound to boot
Interest build and great results. The tone of the guitar is truly wonderful. Congrats!
The final result is AMAZING! Great Job, muh dood!
Didn't expect to shed a little tear at the end there. Damn good job!
Absolutely love watching you build these guitars! So cool, my kid learned a little science on this one!!
Ridiculously cool project. Your demo of the final product was very nice as well!
Man!!! I’m so impressed. Great job!!! It really sounds nice too.
Burl you are a mad genius bro me and my wife love watching you bring these ideas to life and its also awesome you keep all the mess ups and problems in the video so people can learn
I love that you leave the mistakes in the vids, it helps with understanding the process better
One of my favorites! The playing at the end was really cool, and the build was different from anything you’ve done.
what a fun process. it sounds and looks beautiful.
The final product looks really good and you played it great.
Another great build, well done. Looks and sounds amazing.

Your sound demo was so emotional. Really the best song you could havee picked!
Excellent work! God bless you and yours praying for you!

Very clever slide guitar masterpiece!! Excellent job 👏
Your creativity is amazing. Please keep doing crazy stuff!!!!! Thank you for all these videos. I also love to see all your mistakes. When we do stuff for the first time we always make mistakes. Creative success is always on the far side of failure. Just keep at it. This project was amazing. You totally Rock!
Guitar making and science! I love your videos so much!
Lovely instrument! By far my favorite of the demos you have done. :)
I think the hole neck idea made it resonate better. Great job my dude
I know nothing about metal casting or playing a guitar, but I found this absolutely fascinating. I’ve always loved sound of a steel guitar and the rendition of “Country Roads” was beautiful. You are a really talented person. Thanks.
You never cease to amaze with your ideas
Enjoyed the video, thumbs up!
I own an aluminum cast Clinesmith Lapsteel and it was very interesting what goes into that build!
I love lapsteel guitars, it was really interesting to see one being built. I also really liked the rendition of Country Home at the end. One of the coolest videos I've seen in quite a while 😊
Another great project... Nice work and nice playing...
Love the playing at the end❤
always looking forward to a new burls art video!
One of my favorite guitars but for sure my most favorite guitar demo!
Wasn’t expecting chemistry in this channel haha, beautiful process and result❤
Simply incredible. This truly feels like a heritage piece you can hand down. Absolutely extraordinary craftsmanship. You are so damn talented. I've got three final words for ya...Mississippi Delta Blues. 🎶🎵
