When Les Pauls aren't heavy enough...
Bet it‘s lighter than a Gibbi
Its probably still lighter than my '67 golt top was.
Too funny... you had me laughing out loud lol
Fill it with lead...sustain for hours! But borrow Junior Brown's guitar stand.
@@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330 Gibsons are super light lmao
When the only reason you watched this was just to hear it 🤯🤬
:(
Yeah I agree that sucked
@@mortwally3510 Chances of it intonating and playing if you didn't know how to dial in the setup pre-tack: Zilch.
Right?? I was thinking the whole time “how’s he gonna hold that heavy beast to play it??” Guess I know now.
So lame.. everyone knows SOMEONE who can play.. c'mon! Give me my 7 minutes back!
Guitar snobs will say the chrome isn’t letting the metal breathe. Needs more sustain 😂🤦🏽♂️
It's made out of tonesteel and handpicked welding rods from the 70's. Not heavy enough? Fill the internal reservoir with whatever tonestuff you want!

Hahahaha
Lol, word.
The action is incredibly high. You need to lower the nut and bury the bridge. Or you could use it as a slide guitar I guess. Looks great though.
Needs better neck angle bridge looks as low as it can go
Truth is that he didn't need frets at all.
It's cuz there's no neck angle
easy fix. just adjust the truss rod.
@@co20ca05 exactly o wait :p
Leo Fender didn't play guitar either and he built the best guitar the universe has even seen. Great job!
he played the guitar, he may not have been a pro player but he could play.
Both Teles and Stats are great guitars (I like Teles, not personally a fan of Stats at all) but dude, those are 60+ year old guitar designs.
Guitar design has come a long way since then.
@@klauswigsmith And yet his original designs are timeless. I also include his bass designs, the Precision, Jazz, and the Stingray
@@AllofJudea Sure, but timeless doesn't mean they're still the greatest guitar designs ever.
All guitars designed back in the 50s and 60's, from Teles and Stats, to Les Pauls and SGs, all have some pretty glaring design flaws that could be improved upon, but both Fender and Gibson are stuck on tradition.
Hell, the development of the "Super Strat" in the 80's should tell you all you need to know about the shortcomings of the original Stat's design.
People love these guitars because they're stuck on nostalgia.
Personally I love Les Pauls, but shit, there's a bunch of things I wish Gibson would address with that design.
Lets play HEAVY METAL on it🤣
Literally huh... 😁😆😅
Hahaha
Let's shall
Idontgettit
@@gustavgnoettgen IMPOSSIBLE
You should've got someone to demo the guitar for you.
it made by a guy have no idea how to build a guitar, it unplayable! look at how high of the string!
It is impossible as the neck is solid. It would be impossible to set the strings up as the tension bar in wood necks compliments the tension of the strings and creates a bend in the neck for the action.
@@AntiTrollableHey luthier here! Na, thats 100% wrong dingus. Look up EGC and old kramer aluminum neck guitars from the 70's
Like TheDooo
@Shubbit the fubbick ubbip!!! A solid neck would bend easier than the hollow neck he made. Irony.
Finally....a guitar that can't be smashed on stage or set on fire! Rock on....
Hendrix used lighter fluid remember so .... yeah there goes that thought. but i have to wonder , if a steel string can give you a bit of a shock from a bad ground wire what can this thing do.
@@kaptainkmann7808 insert emperor palpatine meme here "powaaahh!! unnnlimited POWAAAHH!"
Pete Townshend probably foaming at the mouth right now 🤣
Imagine if he forgot the ground wires
@Kaustubh Singewar indeed aha
😂😂😂
Kaustubh Singewar, I didn’t see that coming! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was awesome
uh oh
Then that would be his last video ever made
I want to do this out of solid material, put a maple cap on it and call it a lead Paul.
I really wanted to hear how it sounded 😢
No you dont
I made an Acoustic Galvanised one a couple of years ago.. The sound was awesome. I gave it to a Cancer fund raiser and it sold for about $350.00 (Aus$)
The nut is wayyyyyyy to high my guy like Jesus Christ the action on that thing would make it unplayable. Looks great tho
could play slide
This is super cool!! My brother made a Flying Star guitar in his welding class a couple years ago. It’s cool to see how other people make steel guitars
He just used a wood neck though
Mans fashioned an entire guitar outta steel and y'all are complaining that he can't play. Respect the craftsmanship y'all
That thing is unplayable lmaoooo that action and is that fretwork eyeballed from the other guitar?! Lmao that thing can’t be playable. But I respect the effort!
Oh my god, the action is so damn high lol 😂
This is awesome
I've seen a lot of guitar builds but I've never seen some one hand weld a guitar
Damn. And here I was struggling for days just to make a guitar pickguard out of stainless steel. To be fair though, I only had a hand saw, a Dremel and a cheap table router, none of which particularly well equipped for cutting high-carbon steel. Wish I had had a torch/plasma cutter like you're using. Beautiful work. I like it.
Use salt and rust it off.
@Paul Pinto
Since the body is hollow you should build that version of it. A pair of cutouts in the top plate.
Great craftsmanship!
I love guitars, but I can't play either.
I thought a good idea would be to use used train wheels, smelt them, then pour the smelted metal into a mold that is in the shape of a custom guitar with a neck, and apply the smelted metal to other molds as well utilizing everything from the same train Wheels to build the same product. The real work in this case is building the molds themselves, because that's where the artwork customization sculpting comes into play, the rest of the guitar should be built like blacksmithing, and routing out the actual metal pieces to make for the electrical parts of the guitar.
As for the rest of the guitar it should be fully Iron and Steel, and because it's made in the mold the neck and the body would be one piece.
Amazing video. I have one question. How tick is the steel in mm from the plates? Thx for your answer. Best regards!
Love the idea, goodbye humidity changes 😎
Whew...I'm so glad you made a hollow body instead of a solid body.
Work of art!
Just looking at that action makes my fingertips sore. Sick guitar though! One of the dudes from Rammstein should get one.
It was worth every single second
Edit: but I noticed something, when he does the close up to the pickups, the strings have very high action
Nice Job ! Only one question : What's the weight ?
Heavy metal lol
How much does it weigh? And how does it sound?
Amazing what 3 weeks and a bit of chrome plating can do... How does it play??? No sound test??? 🧐
Thanks for sharing the result of your work. Beautiful one, ehhh... Btw, how much does it weight?
Awesome build Paul!! That thing came out gorgeous!
I can't thank of words to describe what I think of it it's beautiful I would love to hear what it sounds like
Do you think that it's possible to make it lighter by making it out of thinner plates ?
When you're so hardcore even your guitar is maid of metal
ok I'm not gonna lie the finished product look's dope but how does it play ?
Vibranium, sustain and resonance is great. . . and it returns when you throw it.
Just hit a few open strings XD We will love you for anything we can hear. I'm sad but, great looking guitar!
“I knew him before he was famous! Like a week before...still counts!”🤣🤣🤣 always amazing!
Infinite Craftsman hahaha thanks dude!
@@PaulPinto you should make it please 👇
pin.it/4d4GKcT
Keith Richards would instantly faceplant hard with that guitar
How does it play ?? What about one with non-magnetic stainless steel
Nice work man...so shiny.
But the action is so high, it's unplayable because of that maybe?
Hell, I noticed that as well, way too high, Dave’s World would have a fit!!
Wow, Amazing JOB !!
4:18 " should i do it? Yes i totally should!"
find some one play with it. we would hear it's sound. how did you placed frets?
Never mind the negative comments Paul , it's beautiful work. You clearly have great fabrication skills. It's perhaps an unusual piece , maybe even impractical , so even if it is unplayable so what, like Leandro Batt says below - it's a scultpture . I enjoyed watching your video
Maybe pass it around the different guitar channels? That would be great to watch.
That nut is REALLY thick. The string action looks a little high as a result. Very cool build either way.
Wow 😊 such a beautiful Guitar so special 🎸 Thank you for sharing 🙏
How did you ground all the electronics??
Literally a heavy metal guitar!
Now that is one metal guitar
How hot is the welding torch?
This gives a whole new meaning of lap steel guitar
The beauty of music is never seen... it is heard
That guitar is 🤘metal🤘 af! That looked fun. I miss working with metal.
That's a bad ass looking guitar!
LOL that action is a MILE high! I don't think that thing will ever be playable.
Nice work.. pretty cool!
Holy back breaker!! That is the nicest boat anchor I have ever seen. It's gotta weigh at least 20lbs. Still, you're a masterful craftsman. Good job.
damn the action is so high
Good job, it is a fine guitar, unique
The action on that thing is higher than a kite
Wow - I love it. Please make someone play it for us.
OK, action and setup mean that it's border line unplayable, but it would be perfectly possible to play it as a slide guitar. I'd be intrigued to hear how it sounds.
I'm also wondering whether the pickups will actually work with all that ferrous metal around.
Never mind the weight of a "Steel guitar," but it looked liked he used 1/2" in. plate for the tuning key's area. I'm just curious if that took the balance right out of the guitar. As in when you pick it (the guitar) up the tuning key's area over whelms you trying to dive to the ground? Other wise a great project. Thanks for sharing. Next project a steel piano, you gotta tickle those 88 key's.
That's a great job, but I'm so curious about the sound
How much does it weigh and I want to test it!
Great project man, just saw you on FiF's UA-cam upload, congrats!!
Now thtis is what I call industrial metal
Another wall hanger for a beer joint.
This is a true Heavy Metal guitar.
Now that's a guitar that can take out a speaker! So shiny!
Great Job BRO!
GOT TO HEAR IT !! Let a guitarist play on it !! !! You cant do this to me !! Got to hear it :)
Can it be reliced?
Does a Les Paul have a richer tone than an SG
OMG the action on the strings lol
Question; why such a thick steel?
This is the MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP!
A hallowbody guitar made of metal.
While it looks really cool and the craftsmanship is amazing, I'm wondering how much feedback it would generate when plugged into an amp lol.
do you sell guitars like this? If so I would seriously be interested
That's gonna play some REALLY heavy metal
How long would you say this took you to make
Now that a guitar were I can say it will cost a lot to get one for the time, energy and patience. Well done.
Did you use tonesteel?
Really awesome man... But the action (the distance between the strings and the neck) is SUPER high. That would be extremely hard to play, and the sound quality would suffer as well. Maybe you could just fix that by adjusting the bridge, but I have a hunch that it has something to do with the position of the neck (and possibly the size of the nut, that thing seemed a little big).
Anyway, it's absolutely gorgeous. I would love to hear it play.
Now that's some heavy metal
4:21 proper lil chuckle to myself
Hope it doesn't rust!!!! Looks great
Stunning!! Just curious, how heavy is it?
I don’t know if this would be possible to play. Thinking about the electronics alone... the pickups would go absolutely wild on the body by its self. And that’s not to mention the lack of a Truss rod... etc
Nice job ..would of liked to hear it. Currently building an aluminum guitar
That guitar has no output jack dude... are the electronics even wired up or did ya' just mount them to the steel with some screws and call it a day?
What does it sound like?
Its a piece of art! Job well done.
Awesome project, but, i would like to ear how it sounds!
Now that’s metal🤟🏼
Now that's true heavy metal
the string action was so high bro
