I found an old bed in the garbage and I decided to make a mini guitar with it. I think the wood was pine.
Materials and tools:
Pickup: amzn.to/2ybFu7v
Lathe: amzn.to/2E4v7Yn
Zip ties: amzn.to/2pIL38L
Hand plane: amzn.to/2RAtjJC
Spoke shave: amzn.to/2pHhYup

To find the fret positions I used this on line fret calculator:
www.stewmac.com/FretCalculato...
To connect all the electric parts, I used this wiring diagram for one humbucker pickup and one volume knob:

This dude spend days upon days crafting this guitar by hand in the highest quality he could muster Then he makes the frets out of zip-ties

@dexstevens5993 4 года назад

finds an old chunk of wood from a bed in the garage and any normal human being at this day and age would look at it and instantly think, "hm, that would make a great red electric guitar for my own personal use. yeah." happens to me all the time.

as a guitarist, this pains me As someone that adores kooky, ridiculous shit? I absolutely love it. Fuck that "I only play real guitars" guy a couple comments down, this seems like a great, fun little project.

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

Thanks man

@Delzra 7 лет назад

i was going to say "why the fuck did he not cut the neck in half, would have been a much better fretboard" but you know what, in the end i'm not even mad :D considering that this was legitimately made from scratch from SCRAP, this is just amazing work.

Lotus_Eater_Machine well Brian May built his red special and look at how well it turned out, and he only used hand tools

@l0serk1d49 6 лет назад

Everyone’s forgetting he made this out of a fucking bed frame. Could you? More than likely not. It’s not meant to be the greatest guitar in the world and it’s not meant to sound the best either so stop hating. I’d like to see you try and make one of these. It’s a cool project to work on aswell. Good job man!!

@dannydaniel1904 7 лет назад

I dare you make an electric guitar out of a guitar hero controller

@Roaether 7 лет назад

That would be near impossible, unless you where to strenthen the neck a lot. Each string has a tension of around 15-20 pounds EACH, so they could be pulling on with a total force of 90-120 pounds, and a plastic neck could never support that. Even now, modern guitars have a steel rod (a Truss Rod) in neck to allow it to be thinner. it could be done, yes, but the ammount of work done on it (strengthening the neck/body, wiring it, shaving down and re-freting the fret board, etc) would probably change the guitar so much that it would look nothing like the original But hey, if you want to ship me a Guitar Hero guitar, the electronics, a threaded rod, and some tools to my apartment in China, I'd be more then happy to try XD

@bobbybob3679 7 лет назад

I love how it has two purposes! 1, to play some crazy two string jams and 2, it will keep you warm when you run out of firewood.

Lamest shit, imagine if people commented saying "but does it punk" or "but can it play smoke on the water".. I mean, djent is basically a meme now.

@thomasdarista2782 7 лет назад

Sebastian Ramirez he's right. It's sort of an inside joke on videos with weird string instruments.

@jabby1492 7 лет назад

Not enough strings to djent on..

Το μεγαλύτερο χάρισμα , πέραν του ότι είσαι υπέροχος κατασκευαστής και μουσικός , είναι ότι δίνεις δεύτερη ζωή σε ένα ξύλο που πιθανότατα θα κατέληγε στα σκουπίδια... Και δεν μιλάμε για mdf ή νοβοπάν. Μιλάμε για ένα δέντρο που κάποτε είχε ζωή! Keep up the good work! Peace and Love. Sakis.

Wow, if only I had your patience to setup the camera and the lighting for every single little thing. Amazing video, I appreciate all the work from the lighting to the camera angles to the transfering of clips then the editing and doing a lot of that work by hand and then actually making the instrument playable. Amazing job!

i've never asked you, but why don't you buy a real lathe? is it too expensive for you? or is it something else.

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

It is a real lathe! It's just smaller!

@tkzsfen 7 лет назад

Scrap wood City yes, i know. it is jsut strange that it doesn't have a toolbit, but as long as it does you good i guess it is a real lathe :D

@xdgfxr 7 лет назад

You might be thinking of a metal lathe lol

@tkzsfen 7 лет назад

Brandon Gloeckner yes, but aren't the same methods applied in the wood lathes? i admit that i am not well acquainted with the woodworking processes, but doing it by hand seems somewhat inaccurate and slow. prone to mistake. i am wrong?

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

I think you are indeed talking about a metal lathe. Yes that lathe is much more accurate, but I don't have the money and the space for one. Besides all that I like working my woodworking lathe it's a really cool process doing it by hand, I really enjoy it!
