Fire and Copper Guitar Build 

The orange copper edge breaking through the bindings looks amazing. Incredible work as usual!

Such a unique design for this guitar. BurlsArt never lets us down. 😃

This channel inspired me to build my own 8 string guitar. I always thought if this guy can build a guitar out of gumbballs, legos, or epoxy, I can at least build one. Amazing work on this

This is without question, my all-time favorite guitar that Burls Art has ever built. The colors and sound just flow so incredibly well.

That is one very pretty guitar. It's really cool how the bluing of the copper definitely looks like water and the edges look like silty sandbars. For all the trial and error with that part of the build, I think the result is extremely unique and interesting. Thanks once again for sharing your talents with us.

I've watched you since the first video you made back in 2019 and somehow you only continue to get better and better at this. You take the concept of functional art to a whole other level, great job man you've really out done yourself

I love that you also explain what didn't work. It makes your work even more insightful

Thanks to Burls Art and Tchiks Guitars as inspiration, I've now made 6 of my very own guitars. Thanks for all the entertainment and content!

A sulfer patina is gorgeous. Brings out purples, reds, greens and blues. Almost like it is presently being heated by fire with that glow that happens to metal as it burns. Love this build!

this has to be my favorite guitar of yours yet. it looks absolutely stunning!

Ebony is really hard to work with when inserting the frets, you can file the fret slots using a triangle file so it's easier to hammer them in. Once again a very beautiful and unique guitar, and skillful playing at the end.

Wow, that's just gorgeous. The copper patina is lovely, and the charcoal texture is so subtle. I also love baritones, and this demo was great, Probably my favorite guitar you've made so far!

Love this project, as a guitar enthusiast it would be a dream to own a burls guitar!

amazing! i love how you leave in the mishaps along the way, it shows that art isn’t perfect and it doesn’t have to be to make something beautiful :) great work as always!!

She's a real beauty. I wasn't convinced about the fade on the back of the neck as I watched you stain it but the finished neck really does pop. Well done.

The copper river came out absolutely perfect

Wow! Fantastic project. Looks and sounds beautiful. Great work, sir!

Man if there was one way to channel my creativity that I currently can’t it would be building guitars. Burls been an inspiration for years now

My man, you dont just make guitars. You make works of art. 💯

This is hands down the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing my guy.

This is by far the most beautiful guitar you've made in my opinion.

This is EASILY one of the coolest ones you've built - this thing is amazing

Honestly probably the best looking guitar I've ever seen

This is by far the most beautiful work you've ever done.

Holy crap. You sir, are a MASTER. So incredibly talented and creative. Loved every second of this video!

oh man that is so nice, that's actual art I would have on my wall let alone being playable. it's stunning

That came out so cool!! I really love the contrast between the patina on the copper and the literal charcoal top, and the two tone neck ties it all together, great build!

This has to be my favourite guitar building video out of any other out there. Its the most beautiful guitar I've seen ever

Love the fade on the back of the neck, chefs kiss

If I EVER made something as beautiful as this? I would probably stare at it for a month when I was done with it... in awe of my accomplishment. Incredible Craftsmanship.

The river reminds me of where Pine Creek meets the Sacramento at Scotty’s Landing. I love the alligator skin look of the charred wood under the clear epoxy. The finished reveal of the guitar is absolutely stunning!

this build has so much depth to it, the copper with the turquoise patina was really inspired. loved the chemistry experimentation to get the look & feel you were going for, the effect of the glossy finish with the charcoal mosiac underlying the top surface, & the burned gradient fade to natural birdseye on the backside of the neck. didn't even mind the product placement from your sponsor since you used that time to show around your place, looks like a sweet spot to live, work & develop your art. always enjoy these videos & hearing the riffs on the guitars at the end is icing on the cake, nice change up this time with the baritone! looking forward to many more builds to come. 🎸🏗🎨🍻🙏

this is truly a work of art, it has an otherworldly feel to it

This is easily the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen

Defo the most creative guitar I've ever seen. Love the design you went with, absolutely amazing

He doesn't just build guitars... Hes a white water rafting guide... Hes like the coolest person ever.

Stunning! Thought that massive body block of maple would give the guitar a very trebley voice, but the clarity it imparts to the baritone is phenomenal.

Sho suhi ban is awesome fun in building. Protects wood and seals it. Fences, siding, even made pet furniture with that method. Been watching guitar building and trying to get the guts to give it a try been just waiting for someone to burn wood and make a guitar. This really makes me want to try, awesome job!

This has to be my favorite one you've made....it's just beautiful and elegant and poetic even

I'd binged all your build videos and now you've uploaded a new one Much love ❤

Absolutely the prettiest guitar you've built so far, incredible work

this is seriously the most gorgeous guitar i have ever seen it is STUNNING

Saw the title and thumbnail and my first thought was "oh woah did Cam make a guitar?" Cool to see my favourite channels getting inspiration from each other! Absolutely love the finished piece too, looks and sounds wonderful!

I can stop looping the reveal shots, this guitar is magical looking

That is 100% the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen! Sounded great too haha

This is, undoubtely, the most beautiful piece of a guitar I've ever seen. And it's a baritone! I'm saying this after watching hundreds of videos from Crimson Guitars, GGBO and so on.

That's interesting, your comment about the grinder, as it's something I also have been doing. At first I went back and forth over whether it would be too harsh or not, but in the end I gave it a shot and it sands out very nicely. I have now been using it for about a year. Very cool build! I love the contrasting colors!

I love it the copper really blends into the wood ❤❤

Black tail studios does amazing work with wood and epoxy. He would definitely love this guitar and probably the whole channel

I love blacktail studios and the table he did, so I'm so excited about this!

So sophisticated! Love the repetition of the charcoal in the dye of the bird’s eye neck, the slivers of copper on the guitar’s sides. Well done!

Stunning dude. The charcoal top is beautiful on its own, even without the amazing blue copper. You've outdone yourself this time

This might honestly be the coolest guitar I’ve ever seen. This is pure art and it sounds fantastic too

Artiste. 3rd times a charm for the blue river treatment. Remaining copper looks like sandbars.

Quite possibly my favorite build of yours. That's saying something because I'm a huge fan of your builds.

I've just recently discovered your work. I'm in awe of your artistry, imagination, skill, craft, intuition, and creativity. I've seen a few of your videos of you going through your processes, and it's wonderful to watch. First of all, congratulations for creating truly beautiful instruments, which are without doubt works of art. Secondly, hats of to you for your skill, care, and attention to detail in the making of these instruments which aren't just a gimmick, but can be played. Last, but far from least, I love hearing your demos of the instruments you make. You're clearly an accomplished musician, and it's truly amazing that you have enough time to be so skilled as both a maker and a player! Love what you're doing 👏🎸🎩

The scope of your artistic talent always amazes me.

It's so amazing how that final buffing makes somerhing so hideous become so beautiful. I was convinced nothing was going to come out well on this but you manage to impress me every single time.

I think this has to be my favourite one you've made just the colours alone are amazing

This is one of the coolest looking guitars ive seen on the internet

The design and effect is incredible!! Rock on!!

Dude, this isn't just one of your best, this is one of the coolest guitars ever for me. Not just the design, but the method and materials used to achieve this is just so flippin cool. Well done.

I wasn't sure how it'd turn out until I saw the final reveal. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Just like the guitars, the story and production have grown into these amazing videos

The copper color where the inlay meets the edge of the guitar pops so hard, it looks incredible. I think this is the best I've ever seen a guitar match it's sound, it just works so well for that smooth baritone in that first part of your demo. Really beautiful work

No matter the guitar you make, they are all so very unique in an extremely attractive way! Thank you for sharing your art!

Burls I love this piece. I love how the not so affected copper flows and forms banks of the river. This piece reminds me a lot my uncle who capsized and drowned white water rafting in Oregon in 92.

not only was that one of the most incredible displays of craftsmanship i’ve seen, but also beautiful playing, you sir, are talented

This is my favorite Burl's Art build ❤

Absolutely unreal. I would purchase without even knowing how to play it, then become the worlds greatest guitarist just because of how much I love being in its presence..😍😍😍👌👌👌👌

I love that you used what you’ve seen in nature as a big inspiration for your art. Amazing guitar!

i think this literally could not have turned out better. absolutely perfect im so in love with it

Love this build! Very cool. That’s great you River guide. You have to do what you love when your young so when your old you won’t have any regrets.

The wait is always worth it, and this one did not disappoint. This has to be my favorite design and look. Very cool.

Easily one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen.

This guitar is honestly one of the prettiest ive ever seen

This is so beautiful! Amazing work.

Amazing and beautiful, The burned wood and faded neck. Love it.

This is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen.

the guitar is stunning, and baritone guitars are the best. I love it so much

This is the sickest build you’ve done. Well done.

Blacktail Studio is a hell of an inspiration. Dude just doesn't miss, nobody will knock you for adapting a great idea

Absolutely Astonishing! (nice demo at the end, too!)

Gorgeous!!! I love the patina on the copper! Great job!

Coolest guitar I've seen in a LONG TIME! Awesome video! Baritones FTW!

if only i had the money to purchase this masterpiece, i would not hesitate! beautiful creation!

Easily my favorite guitar you have done so far. So unique

I've been watching you for a few years. Always amazing work.

Man I always look forward to your vids. Each time you exceed my expectations. Keep up the good work dude!

I love black tail studios too. This was a great idea. As you know, Cam on black tail studios uses walnut for his tables, and walnut slabs get a really nice char look when they're burned. Your guitar is an absolute work of art. 👍👍👏👏

Wow this got to be the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen 😍 amazing work!

gotta take a minute to appreciate the knobs just flowing right around that little river junction!

WOW😍very unique and so original design....and the guitar itself sounds so great.... awesome build

Beautiful job! I like how you experiment with different materials and techniques from one build to another and how you always find your way around bumps and unsuccessful attemps. That patina river is awesome! Congratulations!

Been around watching your videos since the very first, so awesome to see how creative you continue to be on every new piece of art. Super inspiring my guy, so much fun to watch!

This is the only channel where watching new videos is a priority for me this guitar looks incredible

I agree, this is one of the best looking guitars you've made so far. It's gorgeus.

A tip for patinaing copper (and other metals). It needs to be clear of all oil and contamination. I’ve found the best way (in my experience) to prep the work piece is to clean it with acetone and gloves that won’t dissolve (preferably nitrile). And the ammonia fuming is your best option for consistency in the patina, however, it takes a while to develop, so leave it longer (maybe a week or two) Also, I would avoid the salt treatment as it led to the larger, chunkier, crystals of patina. The blue/green color is mostly copper sulfates which are water soluble, and likely won’t be adhered super well to the plates. To wash off the plates, I would recommend ethanol or acetone, and leaving them to air dry, then coating them!

This is so sick. My favorite of yours to date. Absolutely rad.

been watching for a while now. your guitars craftmanship always manages to surprise me! looks beautiful well done!!
