Building an Electric Guitar From REAL AXES! 

So instead of smashing the guitar after a performance, you can smash up the stage. Got it.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ru-vid.comUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

The way you made the radius sander is just absolute genius! 👏🏼 amazing work. Loved it.

So much time, planning and patience went into this project. I am beyond proud of you for pushing through and creating your vision. Well done love, you should be so chuffed! ❤️

I admit that was\is a work of art.. As a metal worker, auto body, welder, fitter, really impressed with book matching and simplicity instead of a overwhelming cheap dollar store tool... Loved the natural "handle" body, gold hardware pops but clean not flashy... As a guitarist the Chiquita travel "Back to The Future" style is cool as Hell! I would have to adjust my position but I love it

When the Barbarian multiclasses into bard

Having built several guitars (including a battle axe, I call the "Excriminator") the most gratifying moment for me was strumming the 1st notes after it is strung up. It almost brings a tear to your eye after all of the work. Good job.

"Ready for a guitar battle?" "Let me grab my battle axe!"

Wow! This is truly inspiring to watch man. This is the first video of yours that I've came across, and I really enjoy it. Hope to see you do more crazy stuff like this!

Wow! This thing is a beautiful work of art man! The only thing I would suggest is the addition of a truss rod. I’m not sure how hard this wood is though, it may not even be necessary. Do you still have it? Has the neck of it stayed true over the years?

Would of been cool if you had more of a break angle on headstock for better tuning, and a Truss rod fitted into neck to help with temp changes, all in all still very impressed with your axe

That is amazing, man. The only thing I’d do differently is to add your branding iron mark. Maybe a smaller version on the headstock. Brilliant build. How many total hours did you invest in that beauty?

That is absolutely brilliant! Great work!

Incredible work dude. So impressive. I'm not a guitar player so would you mind telling me how the weight compares to a typical guitar? Is it possible to play this for extended periods or is it more of a functional work of art?

I'm curious how many hours overall this took you. Excellent choice using the gold hardware. Love the stain as well. Just beautiful. Also, how sharp are those blades still? Really impressive, great job!

Looks cool and unique. Might not want to keep the axe heads quite so sharp though. 🤪😁 Thanks for sharing!

i grew a beard while watching

I love, love, love the absence of music; just the ambient sounds is refreshing after everything being so inundated with music. Thank you. New subscriber.

This is a masterpiece. You deserve more credits for that.

That is absolutely gorgeous. Any particular reason you didn't use a truss rod to prevent the neck from warping?

You truely are a genius. That is some fine skills you got there. Every piece cut, chiseled, grinded, sanded to precision. You should team up with @SteveTerreberry to build him a custom made guitar, then he can shred when completed!

Nice, but with that much metal you should have shielded the electronics for a better sound.

Gene Simmons would be proud

Totally axe-idental‼️ A hard axe to follow, especially in cutting contests. 🤭

Those axes are ex axes and are now on the X-axis

Beautiful work! BTW Can you play "Be careful with that Axe, Eugene" on it?

This guy is so creative that he never quits his job.

And he's careful dressing the fret end? Definitely not American!!!

😅cuanto bale hacer una para la venta.,?.me gustaría saber. Ok.gracias

🤣 Absolutely ridiculous. Awesome job Will, looks gorgeous. Have you made guitars before or was this a first?

I know this video is 2 yrs old, even if it was 20, I have to express my admiration for the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The likes I haven't seen since I was a child back in the 50s watching my German grandfather hand making old European furniture with the "Claw & Ball" feet and the hidden mortise & tendon joints, to this day haven't loosened up on the dinning room chairs. They are just as tight as the day they were made. I normally watch a whole build, because I skip ahead. But this had my full attention! I used to build cigar box guitars and have seen some pretty crazy shit made into guitars(5gallon jugs for a bass, 2x4 steel guitar, even an old pressure cooker given a new life as a sitar)but this is off the charts awesome! But I do have one question, do you have to retune after splinting wood?😂

There is 1 fatal flaw in your build. You should have had a separate fretboard instead of carving it from the neck blank. You're missing 1 vital piece the TRUSS ROD

That is just simply an amassing show of craftsmen ship and knowledge , the hours and eye to detail is sick to watch this video should blow up in my opinion awesome job looks fantastic sounds great .............. Thumbs Up and shared

Adventure time! C'mon grab your friends, we'll go to very distant lands. With fin and jake and marceline and princess bubblegum, it's adventure time!

Iv always wanted a guitar like this lol such a beautiful design

Will you are an absolute genius. Great video and workmanship. Keep up the good work.

Right on.. that's definitely an awesome axe, Will... bravo! Thanks for sharing :-)

The quality of the woodworking on display here won my sub. I often feel inspired to attempt the craft when I watch the professional luthiers who constantly show up in my feed. I’d probably make my own share of silly mistakes tbh. You didn’t include a truss rod in the neck my dude! Over the life of the guitar, the string tension will gradually bend the neck forward. The action will get high and uneven before one day, you go to tune the instrument and (assuming it hasn’t already become unplayable) the neck will snap. A truss rod provides counter tension to prevent this from happening.

Marceline would approve!

If these were for sale id totally buy one!

Pure genius man, I want one😮

The amount of work and attention to details deserves nothing, but respect.

Why not just use a double headed axe? You can still buy them here, in the Pacific Northwest.

So much time brother,planning anda patience went info this project. I'm beyond proud of you for pushing thought anda creating your vision. Well done love, you should be so chuffed.❤

Praise the lord keep it up my dear friend may God bless you

Is it just me or when you looked at the tittle you thought ( Marceline’s axe guitar )?

Man... I've watched the whole video it's interesting I recommend all to watch this masterpiece you will never regret but learn something😊👌👍

How long did it take you to complete this guitar? Awesome woodworking skills! Awesome guitar!

is that axhead comfortable in your side:) ta! looks uncomfy if you ask me

You need to put strap locks on that thing. If you drop it you could lose a toe or two.😂😂

For the sake of safety I wouldn’t wear gloves on the drill press they are a major safety hazard. If they catch it will wind your hand around the drill and cause horrific damage. Cool project by the way that Axe Guitar looks awesome.

How much is this double functions guitar? #Merdeka! ✋😀

cool ax shaped electric guitar you made that remind of Marceline the vampire queen from adventure time she have a ax shaped bass guitar :)

Incredible you made all of this without a single luthier tool. 10/10

Will I am I glad to see you back men so happy ur back dude!!

Sounds like some intonation via the bridge saddles will make it sound more in tune ... possibly ? However, a small detail in comparison to a genius piece of craftsmanship !

Все знают, что красная плесень придумала это ещё до мема с чикибамбони

The first strum you made you play 2112 that was your first tune you played on that guitar and then Geddy Lee says what can this strange device be when I touch it it gives forth a sound that my man is truly a work of art you just made not to mention it sounds great

Awesome work sir!

The only guitar you can hit into something when you mess up ur song

I knew that someone would make this I always wanted an axe guitar

Seem like everybody just skipped to the testing part

Killer Axe.🤘😎

I absolutely LOVE the concept. The guitar itself has a sound that belongs to that guitar, the only way I can describe it is that it sounds like you welded 2 axe heads together, which is basically what you did. It doesn't sound bad, it's just not something I would want in my guitar collection unless it was given to me as a gift. Even then I don't think I'd play it more than once because it looks like it would be awkward to hold. It LOOKS bad ass though and you get a 10 for style points

When DnD player can't decide to play as Barbarian or Bard

Really cool. Definitely a great craftsman.

Amazing work. Reminds me of a lap steel.

Khm.... Did someone say viking metal?

The dog was my favorite part of the whole video 😂

Nice

Good job.I'm not sure to like the product but the quality and workmanship is outstanding. I like the wood grain and color . Not a very well known wood in the northern hemisphere. Would be very nice as a strat (or other style..) body.

Beautiful. You can tell you love what you do.

Honestly this may just be the most manliest badass video of all time I mean it has everything HAHAHA

Marceline will pay a pretty penny for this one

Wow🎸《☆》Extremely Kool👍🏾🍺🤳I bet Zakk Wylde would Love one. You must Ramp up Production Brother✌😎☯️

Epic build mate... Sub'd... Congrats on such a successful channel... 15 videos and each one is a hit, what's your secret?... the "RU-vid Gods" are smiling upon you... I've made over 130 videos over the last 4 years and I only just passed 10K subs... keep up the good work...

When you're a musician, but it's also the zombie apocalypse. Super cool!

Looks fantastic Will!! An absolute masterpiece of creativity. I like that you showed your mistakes too mate. All you need to do now is go get some dark shades and grow that beard a little longer and you’re on your way to Billy F Gibbons status! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dig It! Custom fret board sanding block, the other half to bend the frets. Cool Home made nut files. Ok Router box. Check Custom decal. Nice Camo shop rag. Oh yea AND the guitar is an Axe? Clearly the coolest video I’ve watched in a while! Edit: I’ve never used TruOil but this is the video that convinced me to try it. That finish really came out nice.

Chou❤ se garantiu

Gonna be a very pretty and interesting “C” shaped guitar after that neck bows forward. Ever hear of a Truss Rod ??? Neat design and video. Totally useless piece of wall art.

Absolutely stunning!

This is incredible. I like that you show all the small mistakes that you make going through the process.

The instrument from Axe-L rose

Great!!! you had a really cool idea. You should get your patent and start a brand of guitars made like this. In a ranking of guitars, yours is the most METAL in the world. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 I'm convinced that the major Death, Black, Viking metal bands would fight to buy a show-stopping guitar like yours. The controls are certainly well shielded inside a Faraday cage....the most robust in the world of guitars.... I think the weight is quite unbalanced on the bridge part (I know axes: I live in the mountains), for the rest: VERY BEAUTIFUL, also excellent in the choice of colors and I really like that you left the axes without paint! I imagine the side of the double blade, in the part without the controls, a little sharper, and after a guitar solo it is planted on a log placed on the stage: the fans would go crazy. You are an exceptional craftsman and artist.👍👍👍👍👍👍 In your place I would try to build one with 8 strings and propose it to a famous metal band for a lot of money!!!

Dangerous guitar,, 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I understand the Pickup slot mistake but why not just glue 4 Wood Corner Pieces instead of the Whole Thing? I do Love this Guitar though, as A Guitar Player Myself and an Axe Throwing Instructor i Would Give My Fretting Hand to Own this 🤣🤣🤣 Epic Job. 🤘🏻

Man ! It's great idea of your creating an Axe Guitar. Beside u r really at home in ur workshop. Just tell the Guitarist of the heavy Metal band, for whom u r making this Guitar, not to freak out on stage & use it really like an axe. You certainly, don't want a blood bath on stage ! By the way how much this Guitar weigh ? In any case, u r a great craftsman & u r bound to be bombarded with orders from all over.Great job building a spledid Guitar & bloody sharp double edge axe. I do hope u get plenty of orders. Good luck.

Make the marceline's axe bass

Selamat sejahtera terima kasih kerana berkongsi pengalaman yang sangat baik untuk penghibur 👌👍❤️🌎💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ terbaik

Love it must have taken many hours to complete the project well done

The Axe axe. This reminds me of the janitor, from Scrubs, with his knifewrench. Safe and practical.🤣

So glad to see you are still making project video, and nice job.

What a cool idea! And fantastic execution.

M A R C E L I N E 🪓 🎸 🩸 🧛‍♀️

это хорошо но возникает вопрос - а не...на?

Two years later, I would love to know how not having a truss rod has affected the long term playability. Speaking of playing with... maybe the only time your wife and your dog both are thinking the same thing... "why doesn't he he playing with that thing instead of me?"

So interesting video. Go ahead, Thank you sir.

Amazing work. How nervous were you plunging it into that chopping block at the end?
