*Additions/updates/corrections:* - There will be an acoustic model made with this wood. I already expressed my interest in trying it out, because that's where you can truly hear the sound characteristic of this wood. - Apparently, currently there's guitars being built with New Zealand 'ancient Kauri woods' that's even up to 45000 years old. PFEW! I might need to change the title when these bad boys come up. Or... make another video! haha

Haere mai, I'd love you to check out some Kauri guitars! Maybe make it a trip? After all New Zealand is named after a part of your own country, Zeeland! A guitar is much smaller than e.g. a dinner table. Anyway it might just be great to be aware of the ecological and cultural connections. By nature, this ancient Kauri comes from swamps. Retrieving it usually destroys the wetland. These remaining wetlands are a fraction of what used to exist. Most have been drained for farming over the last 200 years. The last ones are incredibly valuable and house unique flora and fauna. There's a lot of well documented corruption around swamp Kauri. The husband of a B grade politician (Judith Collins) runs an export company. A Kauri digger once cut the main aviation gas pipeline to the country's main airport. Whole logs have been exported in obvious disrespect of the Māori tikanga rooted legislation. So please do check these guitars out. I'm sure they're amazing. And please do tautoko (acknowledge) the tāhuhu kōrero (history)! Ngā mihi

I think having an instrument built with so much care and great craftsmanship is everything. Old wood or not, the fact that the maker truly cared about the guitar makes it so much better than anything you will buy from a large company that makes the same models over and over again. As far as I know a lot of energy was put into crafting that guitar which opens it up and allows the player to put more energy through it. The care that the maker put into the guitar is impressed upon the player which means the player takes more care to treat the guitar right and play something beautiful. Truly amazing.

​@@AbsoluteAbsurd Yeah sure, but good luck pleasing an audience or jamming with others without an amp. BTW: I am a guitar builder of over 40 years, and also studied engineering (Electrical/mechanical and wave tech both mechanical and electromagnetic) I don't think you can teach me anything new. For the last freaking time, since you don't get it: The pickups will not and cannot send acoustic sound (Mechanical energy) through a wire. Pickups cannot sense the sound of the wood, only the strings. Strings cannot sound like wood either, and wood not like the metal of the strings: It's physically impossible! They can exchange frequency, but not tone! The acoustical sound of the wood will not get into the pickups, and will not be transmitted to the amp and speaker. Until then any differences are on the strings and pickups, and the amp doesn't even add all that much, or at least doesn't subtract much, and what you get is mostly in the speaker and the cabinet it's in, which is the last and also an acoustic source which directly meets your ear, and so you get a lot of sound from it too.

Don't know if the headstock is glueded in or the whole neck is out of one piece maple.I presume it's out of a one piece maple.

Kauri from the same batch has already been used to make several guitars, and that over 16 years ago when the stuff was found! It's the price that's prohibitive but also the fact that Tonewood on electrics is bullshit, and it's too hard for soundboards for an acoustic. The the only thing that wood has going for it besides the novelty of it's age is that it has great chatoyance when sanded very fine. Ben Crow is also the most likely to mess it up too, because he doesn't think his builds through and has to fix so many stupid mistakes he shouldn't have made in the first place.

Sounds like most guitars. The wood, doesn’t matter when you’re running it through a pedalboard and then through the RU-vid editing app.

The moment I saw the intro I pictured the wood turning into an acoustic guitar. But when i saw the actual instrument, i got a little bit disappointed 😔. Because if you are to explore the true charecter of the wood as a material for an instrument, you would prefer the sound coming streight from the sound board to your ears. Appointing the special pick ups as the middle man, the sound hits a wall in the cannals of the curious ears. Well said the last words Paul. Nothing matters except knowing how special the instrument is takes the most out of the player.

Hi Paul, Great Story and Great Guitar. Well Done. This Has been done Before. Guitars made from 40.000 year old, Petrified Kauri Tree in New Zealand. Made by Joh Lang of Langcaster Guitars. Equally Awesome..

35000... Interestingly Lang is another Dutchman who emigrated to NZ. He used to play with Pierre van der Linden so there is an association with Focus and more succinctly Jan Akkerman, who bought and toured with a Lancaster Strat almost 2 decades ago.

This video is so cool! Paul, i always loved rare woods in guitars and specially those that you can find in old places, everytime I saw amazing wood somewhere I just think about how will look like in a guitar. Beautifully shot too, and the guitar indeed sounds amazing.

As I said in the video I tried to come close to the holy grail. 😀 Luckily there's no uniform definition. Handcarved semi-acoustice because this needs more experience than making a solid body. Good humbuckersound that is clear and full. Single coil sound that just isn't as bright as on a standard one. Hence my choice fot strat wiring in T rings. Alnico 5 magnets and parallel options. Of course it can be downgraded on demand

Have you tried an accoustic guitar made with swamp Kauri? A luthier in the north of New Zealand makes guitars and the wood is between 30,000 and 50,000 years old.
