I can’t stop thinking about how cool it would be to run a charity or something that makes ocean plastic guitars and give them to kids to want to learn to play.
This is genuinely one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen, if you ever do decide to sell your creations I think a business making recycled ocean plastic guitars would be sick
If there's a good way to melt it, definitely. I'm going to guess cooking it in an oven probably defeats the purpose a bit since that would release fumes, which is a bit antithetical to a guitar that's (presumably) made to promote environmental friendliness.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 you might be able to use chemicals or an enzyme or bacteria of some sort to change the behavior of the plastic. I think recent research has been looking into plastic eating bacteria, I am however not in the loop so I could be wrong.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 well, I think plastics in oceans are way worse than fumes, I mean, big industries do this all the time, and a large scale of those guitars can be a trouble too. You can melt plastic in water, but water can be poisoned by plastic. It's complex lol.
I had no idea...what IF we massed produced ocean plastic guitars for kids that don't have music programs in their schools??? This was an epic build and the tone of the plastic is very unique. It carries the notes well. this is a win. We are all curious to how much of a beating this guitar could take on stage over time. Really a great experiment and you adapted so well to the crazy crap that happens in a laboratory!
they would be very expensive wouldn't sell very well. Who is gonna foot the bill for all these kids? Of course, that would be a good idea, and ambivalent ideas are often funded, but just a potential roadblock I see.
It would be cheaper to buy normal guitars. As one who often volunteers on similar cleanup crusades I've learned alot. To grind up the plastic, takes a machine thats worth 100k. Not to mention the cleaning, sorting, and what do you do with all the plastic shreds in the cutting and planing process. I'm actually wondering what this guy did with all that micro-plastic, because that is an even worse problem now. Plastic cannot be changed, certain grades get recycled and other grades cost a lot to recycle.. the rest turns to micro plastic and enters the food chain and ends up in your food.. Although what this guy initially did by cleaning up was awesome of itself, he undid all that by grinding, planing into smaller micro plastics which is even worse. No guitar company anywhere would ever take that on knowing full well the environmental destruction it causes
Ok, this is now next-level stuff. You truly are a good man for trying this. Question: are you taking photos as you go through your processes? You should publish a book detailing all the builds. It's so inspiring...
Following the recycling theme, it would be cool to see a guitar made from recycled/discarded vinyl records! Awesome work dude, this is one of the only channels I have notifications turned on for!!!
@@nadiapaiva8170 You should check out thrift stores/antique malls! I go to a bunch in my area, and without fail, there is always a crate of records somewhere that no one has touched for decades and will continue to sit there. Maybe you can breathe new life into an old Christmas album by having it as pick guard 😎
@@nadiapaiva8170 I've made a bunch of pickguard and control plates with records.if you get any stay away from the really old stuff it likes to crack off unexpectedly.ive found the thinner albums work the best
This is amazing and gut-wrenching in equal measure, and you definitely need to make one of these for Joe Duplantier of Gojira, because if there was ever a guitar that was meant to have “Toxic Garbage Island” played on it, it’s this one.
That is actually a stunning guitar. It's sad that the first fret-board failed because I really liked it but the second one looks way better anyway, so I guess it was good the first one failed. This needs to be put into full-scale production. Amazing job.
I love how you still put in the footage where mistakes were made to show that everyone makes mistakes. Most creators would probably have just scrapped that part of the footage, but you decided to put it out. Honestly it makes the finished project even better
I found your channel a little after I began playing guitar near the Beginning of 2019. I was a senior in high school, and I was going to spend my summer before college building a guitar with my grandfather. You inspired me to pursue becoming a luthier as a hobby. Since then my grandfather and I have spent every summer since the end of high school building instruments. Our very first guitar that we made during the summer of 2019 is still my favorite guitar to this day. I'm currently a Junior in Electrical Engineering, and can't wait to tackle our next guitar this summer. We began working on the neck over Christmas, and I enjoy every moment I spend with my grandfather working on our instruments. We've made several mistakes along the way that we kick ourselves over it but I wouldn't trade those moments for anything in the world. I always love when you upload a new video. Your videos are inspiring and always entertaining. I'll always appreciate everything you put into your work. Much thanks, and I can't wait to see what beautiful instrument you make next.
I absolutely LOVE this. I really want to see more manufacturers embracing stuff like this. Sustainable guitar building is super interesting to me. I REALLY want to see a bamboo build at some point. There are a few bamboo guitars out there, and a guy made a guitar as a school project or something and put the build on UA-cam as well, which was cool.
Dude, you're the best!!! I appreciate your willingness to be open about the mistakes and how you adapt. Just a great example for other people learn from your process. Keep up the great work!
I was wondering what you were doing with the planer and router shavings, etc. I was glad to see you putting it back in another bucket (and then later cover how you were saving that). Helps make your partnership with 4ocean even more meaningful.
Dude this was an awesome build. Everything about it was perfect especially the imperfections, they make each guitar you make truly one of a kind. On another note... You ever think of just making a little album out of the the demos you play? Not gonna lie, what you play is really chill and kind of stuff I'd have playing through out my day.
This might be the coolest guitar you’ve made yet! I think showing where you messed up makes these guitars more real and the hand-crafted aspect all the more amazing when you show the finished product. Definitely one of my favorite channels to watch!
There’s also a hand fret press that looks like a weird set of vice grip pliers… might help in situations where too much pressure might break the epoxy neck.
I have been planning to make a guitar out of hdpe for years. It makes me so happy to see more people use their ideas to find use for anything. Great work and huge respect for you guys.
Just found your channel, this is like finding gold, love when this happens. I’m very sick at home and your videos are taking me far away from feeling pain! Thank you
Love all of your builds but this one is really amazing in support of such a great organization like 4 Ocean. I purchased a faucet water filter system 3 years ago and haven't purchased bottled water ever since.
You never cease to impress me, my friend! In both your playing AND building! You're an inspiration to many, for sure! Myself included! Keep the great builds, playing and content coming! Cheers!
So in the future, you can take small plastic shreds and heat them with a heat gun until they are melted and use them to fill holes. Brothersmake has a lot of good videos about working with this plastic, which is where I got this info from.
Just amazing! You are so talented! And recycling plastic into a beautiful guitar for it to be used for a long time to come is so inspiring. Thanks to you and Four Oceans for helping keep this world a better place!
I think this guitar came out amazing. Not everyone can make something perfect, even if it's something they make all the time. Using the ocean plastic was a fabulous idea. Keep on building hun & we'll keep on watching (and listening).
I'm really glad you shared the short clip of collecting the materials for later use. I love projects like this, and this one especially, but I always worry about what happens to the left over resin and plastic. I was hoping it gets recycled if that's even possible. But saving it for other projects is even better!
Wow. That's so cool!! I love watching your videos and this guitar is one of my favorites, because of the idea behind it. You should sell it and donate the money to "4 ocean". They do a awesome job!!!
Amazing project! I just started recycling plastic this year. And making a guitar was always my plan. So i will definately use this as a tutorial! If you want to make a similar build again, you can fill the air bubbles/pockets up with the leftover plastic scavings and a heatgun.
Very cool Burls Art. I'm only a minute in & I'm thoroughly impressed & inspired, & I bet that was part of your motivation. You've succeeded on multiple levels.
Been a follower, for a while now, and honestly, I’m going to need to acquire one of your beautiful pieces for my place. I truly enjoy these videos and the pure craftsmanship behind them. Great job!
On April's Fool, I want you to make a video titled "Building A Guitar Out Of AIR!" and it's just you pouring empty buckets and drilling nothing and ended the video playing air guitar.
Amazing, solving issues! With our current supply chain issues this is brilliant. I hope the big guitar builders are watching!!! All thing being equal I would buy one.
Your videos are always amazing! This one is extra special though, such a great way to help the earth. This would be so impactful done on an even larger scale - as a musician, I’d definitely get one (if I could afford it lol) and probs celebrities would get in on it too to clear out ocean plastic 🙌🏾
Absolutely beautiful! What's great is you always learn from your mistakes, but honestly what are mistakes in Art? That guitar sounds amazing, great work Brother, please continue to create and inspire us all! God bless you in all your endeavors Brother! Peace!
Revolutionary. Out of all your guitars a crossed the years. this type of guitar is what I’d really save up for and/or ask for. Very proud and astounded by you. Thank you for sharing as always
This is a guitar to feel good about buying no matter the price. Dude your channel is awesome keep up the amazing work and thank you for helping clean our waters!!
beautiful guitar.. due to its connection with cleaning the oceans (and cool appearance), you could sell a "boatload" of those if you chose.. I'm sure that would take the fun out of it though..
A cause near and dear to my heart, sir. This is good stuff. Always like to see repurposed ocean waste, and seeing it turned into a guitar? Top notch, just absolutely top notch.
Awesome build, very very nice^^. your demos always sound so great why not take somthing like you did in this video( 14:07 ) and make like an album from it or a compilation, that would be mega cool.
You could use the extra shavings to just make progressively smaller plastic guitars and hang them as art P.S. Burl, obviously you could play guitar before you started making them. What kind of guitar did you start out on?
Thanks for sharing your mistakes. Getting to hear your thought process, especially when things go wrong and you need to work out a solution, is very education and inspiring. This was a cool project, and you made a beautiful guitar out of trash!
If ever one of your guitars needed to be put into full-scale prodution, this is it.
"Shut up and take my money!"
I can’t stop thinking about how cool it would be to run a charity or something that makes ocean plastic guitars and give them to kids to want to learn to play.
@@BigDijon Even better, sell the guitars at high prices to fund cheaper guitars for kids, and to pay for the kids' lessons.

@Ossie Halvorson use solar power! A big concave mirror to focus the heat to melt it. Can’t get more “green”, than that!

@@devarmont87 if by "this guy" you mean Burls Art, he says in the video he'll save the plastic for future projects
@@-Teague- thank you. That's awesome, and good that you heard that as I quite often don't listen to videos
Now if 4 ocean could partner with a large manufacturer for guitars. That's a visually stunning guitar, and the guitar actually sounds really good!
Ok, this is now next-level stuff. You truly are a good man for trying this. Question: are you taking photos as you go through your processes? You should publish a book detailing all the builds. It's so inspiring...
Follow his insta for photos during the process. The book idea is brilliant!
As usual Amazing job!!!!
@@ZL1LoVeR Instagram requires a membership for viewing and a lot of us don't want that shit. He should definitely publish a book.

Been wanting to do a pickguard with a record, but I can't seem to find anyone who will give any away 😅

Color scheme wouldn’t be very interesting
Tim Sway on youtube does a lot of reclaimed wood builds and uses records as pickguards or pickup covers, he's got some great videos

I was thinking the exact same thing!!
And... it can be worst then his new signature Charvel guitar.
Ayeee, gojira

Nice, I’m going to start rebuilding a ‘70 Torino with my gramps this coming spring/summer
very cool
Wow! I love how the guitar is environmentally friendly and I learned about ocean clean up at the same time. Beautiful work!
dude, all the guitars i've seen on your vids look GORGEOUS! And your ability to craft them out of seemingly anything is astounding.
I love how the neck is like an optical illusion how the straws at an angle make the frets look angled and straws straight. Awesome build!
I noticed that too! So cool! 😎
I absolutely LOVE this. I really want to see more manufacturers embracing stuff like this. Sustainable guitar building is super interesting to me.
I REALLY want to see a bamboo build at some point. There are a few bamboo guitars out there, and a guy made a guitar as a school project or something and put the build on UA-cam as well, which was cool.
It turned out SO GOOD. You and 4ocean should team up and figure out how to get these into production for limited sale at the very least. Super cool.
I've binge watched a lot of your videos today, and I'm even more astonished by each design. Just when you think it can't get any better 🤯
If you could make the demo a little bit longer, or make an album of all your demos that would be awesome 👍
It would.
Great idea! BurlsTunes!
That was a zesty demo, I'll say that much.
he puts a lot more of the playing on his instagram i think
What was the tune played in the demo? I love the guitar, it has a really nice, surf rockish sound, which is very fitting for the thematic
Awesome build! Beautiful guitar!
Cool seeing you here brother :)
Love your builds immensely
Dude, you're the best!!! I appreciate your willingness to be open about the mistakes and how you adapt. Just a great example for other people learn from your process. Keep up the great work!
The tone from each material is so subtle yet so distinct.
The fretboard looks so cool. Also I just know prince would go crazy for something like this
Would've been cool to make the knobs bottle caps too. Turned out great though, awesome idea 👍
It's really cool that you include the errors and problems you encounter in making these
Quality content man!
I am so amazed with your skills as a Luthier. Recycled plastic guitar is a first. Thank you for showing the process.
All those little holes in the final build really give it character, and overall it turned out amazing. This is fantastic!
It makes it look like the ocean
It's really cool to see this project and that you've got so many more tools in your workshop than when you started
The finish with all the holes and the texture looks awesome, with most guitars being shiny it makes it stand out. I'm in love with the look!
I was wondering what you were doing with the planer and router shavings, etc. I was glad to see you putting it back in another bucket (and then later cover how you were saving that). Helps make your partnership with 4ocean even more meaningful.
