Weren't kidding, most youtubers would just clickbait and bring a bunch of guitar parts into a forrest, but you did literally everything it was possible from scratch, that is incredible.
Could you imagine being a park ranger seeing a guy walk into the woods with a bunch of tools and then 5-6 days later coming back with a full-blown guitar? Like bruh
That kinda reminds me the movie "Irene,me and myself " where Jim Carrey has 3 kids and they were playing with some tools and stuff in the morning and he ask them what they were doing and they said " we're building an airplane, daddy " and he said " oh that's so sweet!! Then when he came back from work like about 6 PM, they were already taking off on that plane!!!😅🤣🤣
The crappy amp and string buzz almost help give it that folky, country vibe. Matches the aesthetic of the guitar. I love the blend of AMSR type audio with the nature and tool sounds and the actual commentary. Really the beat of both worlds. Your channel has me convinced I need to build a guitar out of the old deck I tore off my house. Looks like a super fun hobby. Worst case if I mess up too bad I can roast a few marshmallows over my failure lmao.
Next time bring some wooden wedges. Use the cracks in the log to split it into planks, hew, then plane. Much quicker. That's how we made doors before there were snail-paced sawmills.
We knew the method you're talking about but we wanted to make sure we cut the wood in specific ways, the neck especially. We got as close to a quarter sawn neck as possible given the size of the log.
I think that battery powered amp actually gave the guitar a more classical, old fashioned style sound to it. Sounded great and the guitar and build set up was amazing. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, Inthink the guitar sounds wonderful, considering you just built it in the woods inside of a week, starting with fallen trees you just had to resaw. Really impressive. And as you said, with the proper setup at home it will probably be just fine. I think you can really be damn proud of that guitar. Also looks very beautiful.
Dude. Absolutely massive levels of respect for the amount of time, work and dedication that went into this video! You should be very proud of this amazing talent you have and the awesome guitar collection you’re creating. Thanks for the great video!
Yay! This was super cool. I make flutes by foraging for wood in the woods here in Scandinavia, so it was cool to see what sorts of stuff you would use where you live. I must say, I am quite jealous of that gorgeous self-dried maple.
@@not-AI Sorry to disappoint, but I don't have any. I like to do it because it feels immediate and real. It wouldn't anymore if I were to film it and cater to an audience.
"I'm definitely rushing this whole process" Man's literally building a guitar from scratch with no power tools, using found materials in the middle of a forest.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes, if you make a guitar out of it! This was so cool, what a unique guitar!
This is one of the most creative, well-edited and interesting videos I’ve ever seen in my life. The execution of this beautiful piece of art and the seamless transposition of this journey into video format is masterful. You are an absolute inspiration.
I love how your commitment to being able to do it out in the wild even more so from material gathering to resourcefulness and limiting to hand tools is what makes your creativity impressive.
Nice finds on the woods used. Even more impressive is the glue making and how it held. will be interesting to see how this turns out after a final set up but more so how well it ages. I hope you keep this around just so we can maybe see it like a year down the road with a few in between updates how its holding up. Always loved what you do but this is a whole new level.
I'm utterly impressed by your ingenuity to improvise a whole build in the woods off grid! There are luthiers with well equipped shops that build less perfect instruments.
Wow! Just finished my first electric build, a Jazzbass-ish bass. Then I thought, well, I might go out for a little fly fishing. Then I found out these guys do both, more or less at the same time! Out in the woods! No noisy woodshop, no dust, no electricity, no nothing except knowledge, patience, handtools, stamina and sleeping under a starry sky. Véry well executed, fantastic idea, completely inspiring.
This is JUST WAY TOO AWESOME. Probably one of the coolest videos I've seen in awhile on youtube. I didn't know you'd outdo yourself, but this was just a beautiful video from start to finish; to create genuinely a truly beautiful guitar. WOW!
When I build guitars they always start off playing like crap. They need properly setup and without all the proper tools they're guaranteed to play like crap! Lol
Damn! That is really impressive for it being built entirely out in the woods with only hand tools. I really enjoyed this one. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
That is so awesome to be able to go into the woods with hand tools and come out with a badass electric guitar! Even made your own glue! Hats off. Amazing job!
I love the honesty in your videos. You admit if you make mistakes and if the end product has its flaws. Very human and humble. Regardless though, every build you do takes a lot of extreme talent and are very well thought out.
Incredible. I've never seen anything like this before and I'm blown away that you created your guitar with no power tools, or even electricity. The best ending ever: some good ol' fashioned fingerpicking. I love this video so much. Thanks for sharing!
I've watched a few of these builds by this guy and I am totally amazed... mostly at the intuitive ability of his guitar making. But with all things considered, this guitar sounds really good. I am sure that if all conditions were perfect and the tools and supplies available, he'd make one of the best guitars you could get... Thanks for your unique contributions!
Who else has been following his work since he first made a guitar from pencils? Honestly the craft and obvious time he’s put in to become a better luthier is just really impressive
This is incredible! Somehow I think my favorite part is that you made your own glue. I don’t know why, but that just blew my mind and I’m going to be prepared now if I’m ever in the woods and need to make glue for whatever reason.
Man what a video! incredible feat-----building a guitar in this fashion. Having built around 60 mandolins, 30 flat tops and 3 electrics , I can sort of appreciate what an effort this was. It is quite a job to process logs even with a chain saw, band saw and a 15" planer. Then complete a build in such a short time with out power tools. wow.
I feel like a guitar that buzzes and has some quirks makes this build even better. The demo sounds so twangy in a good way, I feel like it's kinda perfect for how this guitar came together
Amazing build! I heard some minor issues in the demo but nothing that can't be fixed at home. Given that you built it in the woods with hand tools the finished guitar is more than impressive though. The reason the bone has chipped might that it has not been boiled, Lignum showed that in a video on their channel.
I know this video is 2 years old bu just ran acrossed it every guitar you have built has been amazing. I built a carvin bolt kit many years ago and it was a challenge just getting a finish on it I was happy with. If you still read these my wife and I are retired in Quartzsite Az and love watching working viedos at night. Please let us see the man behind all these great works of art in the future. Dod and Cat in the Q. Az.
Day 1: Wow, nature is so beautiful! Day 5: Wow, I miss power tools and flushing toilets! Great work. Love the spalting pattern on the alder. Only ever seen that on European beech before.
dude spends a week in a forest to build a guitar and only gets 600k views and at this time only has 600k subs, you deserve more man your work is great.
It's not very often I hear a tune and feel compelled to learn it. Made her sing real nice man and such a unique guitar, I'd hold on to that one if I were you. Thanks for the inspiration
Your skill with hand tools is very impressive. The guitar looks and sounds great! The tune you played through your mini amp sounded very early "Opry" radio from Nashville. Very impressive project!
I cant believe i just watched you do that... 🤯 Absolutely amazing. I wonder how many people told you that.. You cant do that.. You wont be able to make a guitar from scratch out there.. Again absolutely amazing. Congratulations... It looks awesome
Maybe the most satisfying thing I have ever seen on the internet. I have thought of doing the same thing for sometime now every time I run across a nice piece of wood on a hike. Glad you didn't run out of food!
I make guitars on the road using only traditional hand tools so I can appreciate all the hard work involved. Gotta say that's an impressive build for less than a week! Bravo
Because of this mans channel I get recommended all kinds of other guitar build videos. I actively choose not to watch them though because burls is the OG and it’s because of his original colored pencil vid that this style of video got any traction. So I’m loyal to the goat. Keep doing you brother.
question: is this going to remain stable or is it going to warp/become unstable over time since you took logs out of the woods rather than lumber that has been treated for moisture and stuff? Very impressive build, makes me wanna go live out in the woods. great work
His friends: what's this guitar? Burl: It's a wood guitar. Friends: Duh, we know it's a wood guitar... Burl: No I mean it's a wood guitar as in I built it in the woods Friends: Ohhhhhh!
Really cool to see the process that ancient humans used to build their telecasters!
Uhm... Actually, they called it "Uga-buga-casters". Get your guitarchaeology checked, mate. The cave paintings are there to be read.

agreed! This guy is quite underrated
I feel like building a telecaster in the woods is somehow the most "telecaster" thing you could do lol. Great playing!
What about building out of your neighbors burnt down 200 year old barn?
What about building out of a bilocating single engine Cessna in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle?
@@LAkadian tar soaked railroad ties
What about building a jazz bass in Jamaica while smoking weed
@@MRPiki-js4jg mabey not a telecaster moment but defenetly a jamiacan moment
This is perhaps his most underrated video he has made. So chill and just fascinating to see how he put this all together in the woods.
Agreed! Had to come back to rewatch it.
I kept waiting for him to bring the wood back to his shop...took me a while to realize he was doing EVERYTHING in the woods
Same. First I didn't understood why he took out a planer out to the forest then I rechecked the title of the video...
Yup. I thought the same thing.
Did u not read the title…
I was comment the same thing 😂😂😂
@@JJ-xt2dq LOL probably not, when I see this guy post a video I drop everything. I don't even have enough time to read the title
The string buzz and the bad amp really just makes it feel so much more authentic in the demo
Give it an organic vibe
This is how they made electric guitars back in the caveman days.
Impossible they didn’t have sharpies back then
@@dumbass7055But... they had Charcoalies®.
@@maxmordon7295 i guess he really is a ''Dum Bass''
Could you imagine being a park ranger seeing a guy walk into the woods with a bunch of tools and then 5-6 days later coming back with a full-blown guitar? Like bruh
Finds them camping they made bongos n saxes
Better yet, hiking out playing it!
That kinda reminds me the movie "Irene,me and myself " where Jim Carrey has 3 kids and they were playing with some tools and stuff in the morning and he ask them what they were doing and they said " we're building an airplane, daddy " and he said " oh that's so sweet!! Then when he came back from work like about 6 PM, they were already taking off on that plane!!!😅🤣🤣

Yeah it sounds great! Sounds like Fred McDowel is playing lol. Awesome.
DO IT! that would be AWESOME
Next time bring some wooden wedges. Use the cracks in the log to split it into planks, hew, then plane. Much quicker. That's how we made doors before there were snail-paced sawmills.
Neat
they also have butane solder irons... might be better than twist and tape.
the method they used actually adds more tone to the tonewood.
Source: Dude trust me
Amazing wow looks and sounds good let this be a lesson to all guitar builders with power tools now that's a guitar I'm amazed
We knew the method you're talking about but we wanted to make sure we cut the wood in specific ways, the neck especially. We got as close to a quarter sawn neck as possible given the size of the log.
You've got some real stamina there. My arms were getting tired just watching that. A stunning build, especially for hand tools

What a life saver for when you get lost in the woods and you forgot to bring your electric guitar along. You should get an award for this 👏
You've really upped yourself with the cinematography in this. The drone shots are great
Now this has to be and by far, the most original built I’ve ever seen. You just made my day!
Totally agree👍👍🎸
Same!
Apart from the obvious amazing builds, what I really love about your videos is the no-nonsense, straight to the point approach.

Then plays a backwoods masterpiece
as an amateur luthier i've watched a lot of guitar builds, this is the most impressive build i've seen by a long way
Blacktail’s dying wish: “I just want to be made into a guitar part”.
An interesting fact turns out: a person went into the forest with food, tools and a tent, and came out with an electric guitar. This is a great man!
No tent.
Burls: “It doesn’t sound great at all it’s not good.”
*Plays beautiful*
You build a better guitar by hand in the woods than I could build in a cnc shop with every tool known to man-kind at my disposal.
Wow! Just finished my first electric build, a Jazzbass-ish bass. Then I thought, well, I might go out for a little fly fishing. Then I found out these guys do both, more or less at the same time!

Hands down one of your most impressive builds on this channel. You so good at what you do. Keep up the awesome work.
Haven't even finished and I already know its going to be amazing, you just keep raising the bar!
I always loved a more natural feel with wood and he comes out of nowhere and does this. You sir, are a genius with impeccable taste! Love from Brazil!
I love how non destructive this build was. The guitar was built entirely from wood that fell of natural causes and it looks awesome.
Good Job! 👍 Great idea to use fallen logs. 👏 Bravo!
