Craftling: Iron Guitar

- I was curious about the sound characteristics and the playability of a guitar made entirely of metal.
The project brought clarity to my questions. I'm not a big metalworking master and welding professionals are sure to throw their hands up in horror, but it was really fun and instructive to build it. The biggest advantage is, that waiting times for glue are simply eliminated. In many aspects, metal is easier to work with than wood. However, the welding caused many deformations due to the temperature, which gave me a lot of headaches.
The tone is full and balanced. I never thought this. I have installed a P90 neck pickup and a bridge humbucker (both Duesenberg). I know these pickups well and they sound in my ears at least as good as on a wooden guitar. I placed the recording device (Zoom H4n) directly in front of the box and took it over without editing. The sound is only reproduced roughly, but its ok. Maybe I'll do a direct "shoot out" between the wood guitar and the metal guitar in an extra video. I made nearly the same guitar out of wood in this video:

The biggest disadvantage of the guitar is of course the weight: 9 kg (18 lbs) ... cough ... This is an uncomfortable amount even when playing on the leg. Hanging on the strap I'm happy if it does not break my neck.😅
So what do you think? - Навчання та стиль
Not playing Iron Man on this guitar is criminal.
Or playing the metal by Tenacious D
Or playing Iron Maiden!
Or Metallica
Made of Metal from Halford
Iron Butterfly.
You're crazy, this world needs more crazy people like you
The guitar is awesome, but what I really want after watching this is a headbanging windmill.
me too!!!
I totally respect you for building the best grounded electric guitar in the whole universe
So.. what kind of music do you play?
Heavy Metal. All the time. Even when I'm playing R & B.
SCNR.
bro i wanna write a long-long-long comment about how phenomenal your
work is. but it is so phenomenal you understand how anyone would feel
wihtout the long paragraphs explaining it. The purest talent and
dedication. Nothing else to add!
The definition of Metal! Love the art!
Thank you for posting your observations with this project.
Things I would never have considered, (like the deformations you speak off, and the shear weight you would be carrying...) is invaluable knowledge to the observer, whom may try and take on something like this, and I am very grateful for your objectivity, and sharing.
Nonetheless, your project is EXCELLENT.
the real metal sound, very good job man is amazing, greetings from mexico
I absolutely loved this project! I've always enjoyed really interesting or weird guitars, and this is now my absolute favorite.
INCREDIBLE Build!!! Seriously fun video to watch!!
Man, this is such a cool guitar. I respect you on your metal work.
Very cool! Love your videos and craftsmanship.
Absolutely incredible!!!!
It was good to see a new video was up.... this video was so metal 🤘🏾
Wow, metal as hell.

@@craftlingsworkshop hey can i buy one of your guitars
Dude as a guitar builder myself and a retired metal worker i take my Hat off to you , its the Dog's Bollocks and sounds totally Awesome well done 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you KARL!😊
It sounds surprisingly pretty good
cool build,and alot of work, Godbless
real TRUE metal guitar for TRUE metalhead )))))) man - you are the best!!! you make my day!
So much for the tonewood argument, lol
Great video and great guitar!
That guitar is beyond Metal AF! Rock on bro! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
Great job. And the sound is so-so. :)
just what I was thinking of doing, and much respect for your talents and the overall construction.....but now, even though I want the challenge, I think I will try to find someone who manufactures a tele metal body and forego the awesome project....thx again for the great project and sharing your work and results....
Awesome build..he’s wild.,cool
This is so awesome
Totally unbelievable! I had a smile on my face through your entire video. I sort of know how much work your putting into this job, and your dedication is well beyond what I could muster up even on speed. Just amazing to watch. Your right, the sound isn't far off from a wood guitar, and THAT truly was unexpected as your said. I can hear somewhat of a metallic resonance, but really not what I expected. Watched your nail and acrylic guitars, I am humbled by your shear creativity and craftmanship.
Hi Barry!
Thanks for this comment! I am very honored.😊
But the nail and acrylic guitars are not mine😉
Greetings!
Amazing. A great job!!!
Thank you!!!☺️
Sick build bro. Would love to hear some heavy chunky ass metal riffs off that beast. Good work bruz
hands down the metal-est thing I've seen all day.
coolest guitar I've ever seen
Thanks a lot Roman!👍
Skills for Days!!! awesome
Fantastic man, like from INDONESIA 🖤
It would be interesting to hear how this guitar sounds whithout an amp
Amazing job man
Most metal guitar I've ever seen in my life
Sounds good. Im tempted to sample some of that grinding!
Fantastic job. You're crazy :))
Thank you!😊
Bravo, très belle réalisation metal et super son
Merci beaucoup, Marc!😊
Very nice video(s). Thanks.
Heavy metal guitar for some heavy metal music! Sick look! love it!
THIS is the stuff legends are made of. This is beyond the realm of awesome! Could you make me a Bass like this? 😂❤
wow cool idea! I should try
I would be surprised if you ever got grounding issues with this guitar.
Great video & build. Fun to watch. :)
The best way to handle heat warping is to weld little bit by little bit, allowing it to cool to a certain temp to go back to welding. This method is used on certain job sites to keep the integrity of the metals you're working with

I love it, dude❤️✨
Man thats some heavy metal 🤘
Really good guitar, I saw guitars made of aluminium but steel i saw first time. Awesome idea)
Fookin brilliant
Congratulations I wish I had one
Awesome! no doubt super heavy but still amazing!
You are multi-talented person I've ever known. You are a guitarist, welder, painter, etc. Very Cool man! ❤ Keep It Up 🙂
Thanks a lot, Ryan!
@@craftlingsworkshop Just put some video of your craftmanship ❤
Nice one!
AMAZING
Kind of late on the comments. I had seen the Kraken guitar but somehow missed this build. Killer tone! It does not sound like an all metal guitar. Just goes to show that you don't always need tonewoods to have a great sound. The only drawback would probably be the weight!
I can only imaging how heavy this would be.
In the description it says that it weighs 9 kg (18 lbs)
@@geovannid5781 Let him play with his imagination.
Only if you're not worthy
i felt it deep in my soul when your tap broke. rip
Great video. Nice axe
You are the Best, i'm from Brazil and now i am your fan. Você é muito ninja cara parabéns pelo trabalho. Gostaria muito de tocar uma de suas guitarras
I love it!
real cool man
amazing
The ultimate METAL guitar
the pick ups are finna melt in the sun
Это будет первая в истории гитара, которая заржавела!)))))
Не заржавела, а пошла винтажным коркелюром
Look so nice its have own style
Really a good sound( in your fingers).
The first guitar Pete Townshend couldn’t smash! Great work, man.
OK I LOVE THIS
yes but can you make it without power tools?
make a iron-kraken-guitar!
just kidding
you are great!
😅Perhaps next time😅, thanks a lot!
Vraiment super....
Dang it, that's metal!
Ohhhhh, yes! Now I would make you see this video of all the adherents of the "overtone and tree decide" sect))))))
Looks great nice work! However I would like to to see it polished and the welds cleaned up
This is even more metal than King Buzzo's axe
@22:51 two words : "Cutting Oil" ;) awesome work
so cool to see an allround builder, wondering if you got the tools a promotion on theire products...lol
maybe you should get sponsored.
money wise...
great job again.. :-)
Real nice to watch you make this guitar, and the Kraken too!
So ... aside from making really cool guitars, what do you do for a living?
Now i understand definition of "heavy metal"
Someone: "Dude, you can play metal on pretty much ANY electric guitar."
Craftling: "No!" and gets to work...
U're the best craftman
Tell me, which tonesteel you're using?
That's some amazing skills!
What an interesting project! I got a feeling kerry King and Zakk Wylde would have no issues using this heavy guitar. Chains and spiked leather gaunlets that weighs a ton? They got it ;P
I like that the fret markers are removabal
I guess you can say this is the most metal guitar ever
Imagine trying to smash this guitar while playing on stage and you just end up making a hole on the floor! 🎸⚡😂😂
I'd love to see Rob Scallon on this thing xD just to see what he thinks of this amazing monstrosity :D
Takes a truss rod OUT of the equation. Gotta take it to an auto-body shop to get a setup done. If you hear thunder, drop it fast. That's what I call a FLAMED top. If you want to see the world burn, you can put wooden control knobs & pickup brackets on it. That's all the dumb comments I've got for now.
18lbs though, good gawd. Maybe a lap diffuser when sitting, like a widened platform it could hook into so it spreads out the weight over your legs rather than jamming into your thigh.
Awesome build, man!
I was kinda hoping for a one-piece cast iron guitar. Properly seasoned before stringing, of course.
Красава, мужик🤟
Please Build an explorer Guitar with a Floyd Rose System. I am looking forward to building one, but don't have the confidence. Thank you very much, cheers.
Now that's what I call heavy metal!
what brand the pick-up you use? very good sound. 😅👍👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Hi Ton Ton! These are Duesenberg pickups... Greetings!
You should talk to Crimson and Texas Toast about being in the build-off! I’d love to see what you came up with, and I think they’d be in trouble of being beaten by the dark horse. 👍
how was the feedback in high gain? I'm assuming it was fully hollowbody right?
Either way, really cool!
