A special bleached wood that was ground to pulp and then reassembled using several binding and altering agents.
It’s not complicated it’s paper, this joke doesn’t make any sense

Nice.
Jup that was a funny cut
Yeah haha... Amazing build tho. Love the videos.
that's me every fucking time i try to do something precisely
Thats how irony works
Isn't that how it always go? When you hope something doesn't happen; it immediately happens
Imagine being a tree, being cut down to be turned into paper, then reverse uno'd into turning into a plank again.
That is exactly what I was thinking!

Can we just appreciate how much effort he always gives in making these guitars? He's even being accurate and self criticising.
Even with all the short cuts and lack of precision in anything?
Most building a guitar do not build the neck from scratch( they just buy one ), a lot of extra work.
You should build a guitar out of used guitar picks, like hundreds of them. Imagine the history and 'guitar playing energy' that would be in that guitar!

*Has the most metal looking guitar ever*
*plays clean twangy country and chill clean guitar*
Aaron Kai Macdonald that’s what I was thinking
That's pretty cool, but the larger appeal of making a guitar out of paper is that you'd be able to see stuff written on it. A guitar made from pages of your favorite book, for example would be pretty awesome. I'd like to see something like that.
There's so much paper going into this, you'd need a lot more than a favorite book. You could take a favorite handful of pages to epoxy all over on top or something, which would at least give the illusion that the rest of the paper isn't just a bunch of liquefied printer paper or whatever lol
I know it's been a year and a half since this was released but you know what I like most about your videos? You are reflecting on the techniques you used, on the mistakes you've made and you're never only showcasing what you did without any commentary. Every single one of your builds is unique and a piece of art and even though they are unique pieces of art it's important to always take a step back, acknowledge the work you did and also reflect on it. Thank you for being a relatable artist and creator! Also building something as technically delicate as a guitar is hard enough using premade parts and you just built them from scratch using materials that are "not meant to be used for that" - while people are still arguing about whether or not tone wood is a thing in electrical guitars - and in the end every one of your builds sounds fantastic! So thank you for being you and sharing what you love doing!
"Don't wear gloves while working with a powered saw, it dangerous"
"Also I'm gonna wear gloves now"
well he didn't want to get another paper cut.
No gloves, gets injury so puts on some gloves. Contimues using sharp metal hand tools for remainder of video wearing flip flops!!
Not just saws, any powertool (especially ones that spin) can be dangerous
Still waiting for: "I made a guitar out of dark matter"
There you go guys you cant see anything because the guitar absorved all the light but it sure looks amazing
Maybe he already did in the future.🤨
The amount of dark matter will kill him
If he does make a guitar out of dark matter, it better be a 30 string djent guitar. Only such a beast would be deserving of being made out of such material.
That's pretty edgy
Dude!!! This guitar is exquisite! I could care less about the "blemishes" it's the art of the piece and it's practicality! Keep up the good work bro!
I admire how you cope with "screw-up". First the genuine acknowledgement of the mistake and then working out a solution around it...
Really... remarkable ... !
"Talks constantly about workshop safety"
*wears freaking flip flops in workshop*
Those are safety shoes
Forgot to wear gloves in his feet.
Everyone knows you're immune to injury in flip flops
Do you want his shoelaces to get caught by some power tool?
Never heard of safety slides?

Yes that is indeed what he said, that’s a very smart observation of you! 🤠👍
What WE THINK this guy love most
We think : guitar
This guy : EPOXY
Honestly amazingly good looking guitar Burls, I gotta say the most recent ones you did with the ocean plastic and the one you did in the woods are probably the most awesome ones I keep coming back to, as well as this one. Please keep the awesome work up!
Normally we use trees to make guitars, this man took a tree, someone made it into paper, and he made it back into something made out of trees usually
So, that was one heck of a papercut.
Apoxy cut
it was more of an epoxy cut...
the fact that this guy gets straight to the point and doesn't do a 3 minute intro makes me so happy
that is gorgeous! Awesome job! I liked the critical roundup/review at the end too. that is how you learn and how we learn from you.
I am SO going to make my first electric guitar.
Never thought I’d see someone sandpaper paper.

Hey man, I think it's so awesome that you leave the mistakes in the video. Makes these videos so much more entertaining and relatable. What's charming about your builds is that youre clearly doing it for the love of doing it and for the sake of experimenting with crazy guitars.
Been binge watching these builds you have an awesome talent!

what i like about this is the guy actually goes a rundown as he's doing it so we know more about what's happening instead of just the usual silence.
My favorite out of everything you've made so far. Beat even the river guitar & the 4ocean ones.
I love how the shape of the body isn't the typical mimic of every electric guitar you've ever seen but has its own artistic style.
The headstock too. I like how it's more stylized
Every electric guitar I've ever seen isn't exactly the same as the last one I saw. There's many different designs. Flying V. Inverted Flying V. Les Paul. Strat. Tele. PRS. Etc....
You mean ever strat looks like every other strat? 🤷🏻♂️ Yea. It's called brand recognition. I can name 10 random bands right now and would bet than at least half of the lead guitarists use a guitar unlike anyone else of the 10 bands I named.
You also understand that the basic shape you see on an electric guitar is done for function over form, correct?
Those cutouts around the neck are there for a specific reason. How did they get that shape? They took your standard guitar shape and made cutouts around the neck to allow use of the lower frets. As I said, that, design is a result of function over form.
@@J__C__ negative. Obviously, cutaways are to reach frets and obviously you need some basic shape and weight that balances well in the musician's hands and provides a good amount of solid structure for the sound to resonate off of (though far less necessary than on an acoustic, since the pickups do the majority of sound transfer) but from there the possibilities are endless.
Guitars don't have to have that distinctive curve that goes from a large oval to smaller curves at the top with a kind of "hourglass" feel. It's done because it's pleasing to the eye, because it resembles a voluptuous woman, same as why many vases have a similar curvature to them.
And 99% of people who do the "I made a whole guitar out of unusual objects" videos use the same tired shape that 90% of all guitars are an almost traceable template of.
Fucking guitar scientist in here
Everyone on UA-cam: PLANTING 20 Million trees
This guy: using 800 PAPERS TO MAKE ART
thats kind of good. You can make approximately 10k-20k of paper out of a tree. The better know number is ~20 Trees for 1t of paper. So Burl could make between 12-24 guitars out of a single tree. And he doesn't even need to select pieces of wood.
Death Angel correction, it’s an instrument
Not epic
Supply and demand in action my friend
The paper industry plants more trees than it harvests
i love your critiques, artists honest with themselves grow faster.
I come back to this video every once in a while just to listen to that demo at 13:36. Really takes me someplace else
It just goes to show you'll never run out of materials if you're creative enough
Did you not see how much materials he used my guy
The epoxy and harder would cost a good $40-$50, and then add on the same for the high quality coloured paper, same again for the bridge, $100-$300 for pickups, then $100-$300 dollars for the neck, $5 strings, and you'd probably be as well getting a used MIM tele or strat. It's not really an option for someone on a budget, especially when you consider what else they could get that would maintain most of its used market value if you buy in mint condition and keep in mint condition.
That would be a good idea for third world countries if they had a need for paper.
Toxic holocaust is badass.
You have 800 pieces of coloured paper lying around?
9:36- relaxing bell music, satisfying neck perfectioning
9:53: *MAD MAN KILLING HIS GUITAR WITH A HAMMER*
yer man he is a savage beast (",)
That demo was amaaazing!! that tone is great
I always found the best way to position the bridge was to mark a centre line based of the neck position (straight edge down each side of the fitted neck, measure and mark the centre) and then simple position your bridge so the centre line goes right between the D and G saddles. Much more accurate than using high and low E strings.
This guy must be procrastinating from an exam.
By far the best comment😀
He's literally older than that
@@cominooculto That's ageist.
Those papers were his notes for the exam
Haha brilliant
“You can see here that there’s a lot of little sharp edges that the epoxy formed”
Immediately slides finger along said sharp edges after he already cut himself once
Your capacity for patience is astounding. By the time the bridge screws busted I’d have been throwing something.
As an artisan, or someone who creates something you will ALWAYS find that you are not 100% happy with your creations.
You spend a LOT of time on each piece, you know it better than anyone else, you know where you struggled with a few small issues, and everytime you look at it your eye will automatically be drawn to it. What other people will never see or discover on your guitar for a lifetime, you will see immediately.
I call it "The curse of the maker", I suffer from it myself. But it is not a bad thing, it drives us to learn from our mistakes and next time so it better......recently had to relearn the "Measure twice cut once rule" on a component I already put a few hours of work into 😂
Love the look of the paper micarta!

Love the color scheme, jack white would be intriguied.
Hit him up maybe he buys it
I like the music he did
Me anytime I make something:
“Just don’t screw up!”
“...I screwed up..”
😆
That has more to do with the pickups and amp not the guitar. Alot of the frequencies can bet tweaked with the amp itself but the pickups tweak certain ranges more
Nice job! I love that idea, lots of good work. Great result!
I didn't like the body shape at first... then you beveled it... and now, I gotta say, this is one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen. Great work!
Your guitars get the most insane clean tones I’ve ever heard
Imagine if he built a strat or tele with regular materials. It would sound like heaven
its the humbuckers
It's also all the epoxy and composite materials, no excess resonance.
This absolute MadLad took the idea of "tone wood doesn't exist" to a whole new level.
This guy exists to prove that marketing bullshit wrong and I'm glad. People need to listen with their ears not their eyes.
But...what if the paper was made out of mahagony
It is a hilarious marketing ploy, why would electric guitar's tone be based on the wood it is built with.
It has no sound box, nothing resonates off it without amplification, the entire sound of the instrument is artificially produced.
@@wow1371 It's not so much the sound that differs from other materials (wood, carbon, steel or paper, etc.). It's more about the sustain of the instrument. Different materials bring out different levels of sustain.
"made of the finest imported tone paper"
I'm used to have the neck finished first and then route the neck pocket and finally pickups pockets so I make sure everything is centered. But it's a great job! I want to experiment with resin.
Thank you for including your mistakes in your build. This is very helpful to a beginner guitar builder.

For those interested, when you mix paper and epoxy like this, you're actually creating a substance called "micarta". It's extremely strong and is actually a good base for a guitar

I hadn't thought about making a micarta guitar before this. Great idea and looks amazing.

“yeah setting the bridge is easy, just don’t screw up.”
“yeah, i screwed up.”
Low key looks like Marceline's Bass from Adventure Time and that is in no way a bad thing.
Impressive job as always my dude.

I absolutely love this body shape, and the banding pattern of the paper looks sick. \m/
When you realize paper is just wood
I was just about to comment this XD
Sure
Wait... Now you've got me thinking
I've been conditioned to not waste paper. When I saw this I thought "what a waste of paper!".
Oh yeah, paper is just wood.
@@barakahfactor "just wood" more like treated and cut wood. Here there's a lot more waste than by making a guitar just from plain wood.
Just think of the companies who throw paper everytime it's not cut perfectly or there's a little scratch.
This is basically just wood with extra steps.
Oh
No, it's resin with paper in the middle!
Basically richlite, then, which is also used for gutiars sometimes (fretboards typically otherwise the whole guitar gets a bit too ehavy)
I would drop a like but I'm not gonna ruin that 69
