It should be noted that all machines during the production process must contain dangerous heavy metals, or else the guitars would lose their edge and instead become angsty violins.
I read that last bit as "angsty virgins," and I'm gonna keep rolling with that.
@@crimson90 I read "angsty villains"
I think yours is funnier though
@@crimson90 “angsty violins”, “angsty virgins”… I mean there’s not really a difference between those two so…
@@foxtrottango4845 My violin definitely isn't a virgin.
@@GoinMLG wha- what did you do to your violin?
Fun Fact: Despite being a guitarist's first song to learn, Smoke on the Water is based on an actual story.
Interesting, ya learn something new every day.
Does the actual story involve smoking on the water or fire on the rain?
Edit:Joshua Korynta and Muffin McMuffin have the correct story below.
@@traphimawari7760 Deep Purple was playing a show with the band Great White in a small venue with a low ceiling and wooden rafters. During Great White's set, a fan in the audience shot a flare gun which caught the ceiling on fire (this is stated in the song; "some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground"). The title and inspiration comes from the smoke of the burning building drifting low over a nearby lake or body of water after or while the building was evacuated.
I'm pulling this out of a book I read 16 years ago so a couple of the details may be off.
@@traphimawari7760
It's about a casino that burned down next to a lake. Hence, smoke on the water.
@@lilteapot7929 but which part is the fire on the rain? Was it raining gasoline or something which burned the casino next to the lake?
FUN FACT: Watching this video as a guitarist is one of the very few documented ways to experience every known human emotion within 10 minutes.
So so ones asked this in over a year but...
What's the deal with the 3 wood piece joke at 2:57 ?
Is that a good experience? It sounds enlightening.
@@Georg3eif you don't play guitar you won't get it even if we tried to explain it 🤷♂️
I agree. As a guitarist and guitar luthier this video had me laughing so hard I almost cried
@@Georg3ebecome a guitarist and you’ll understand
I love how these videos start out believable and even serious, and then devolve into madness within a few minutes.
That’s how I found this channel, I looked up how Funyuns are made, and my algorithm showed me how toaster pastries are made later on. Now I’m hooked to these videos lol
It reminds me of how to basic. Just turns into madness
"All guitars are equal, but some play a tune that raises jimi hendrix from the dead" - Huggbees, 2022
ah a shiori experience reference how cultured
@@yt_krg fuuuck you beat me to it
?
Wasn’t expecting a Shiori Experience reference lmao
The best method, I find, is to play every Slipknot solo in chronological order from 1997-2022.
That “bass” joke is so funny to me because I have a friend that used to genuinely think that bass (music) was pronounced bass (fish) and vice versa. To this day we still bring it up with him.
I was the same as well
Poor basstard.
So he's who gives us a bad name? Lol
You pronounce it differently?
Me being a spanish speaker literally not knowing those words are pronounced diferently:bruh
As a musician with 3 guitars, allow me to explain the complicated joke of gluing the pieces of wood together.
It’s just funny. Gluing two pieces of miter cut wood together is the funniest shit in the world. Adding a third piece just makes it absurd, which makes it funnier.
Its pretty ridiculous why they don't just leave it as one piece. I understand for the neck, because otherwise in order to get that shape you'd need to cut a bigger block of wood which is expensive, but for the body? Why cut it only to then just glue it back together? Maybe it's to make sure there's no cavity in the wood before going through that whole process and then cutting into it at the end to install the electronics only to find out it's rotted through? But aren't there ways to check that without sawing it in half??
r/wooosh ?@@hey9433
Finally, a video that’s actually accurate to how guitars are made. As a guitar player, it means the world to me. Time to go tune my truss rod, my three strings, and turn those cool little buttons that don’t do anything.
Don’t forget to charge the fret wires
And play my authentic gibson by godin
As a drummer, I can confirm that this is exactly how guitars are made.
I stuck like a fuckin dinosaur guitar into my drum set and now it sounds like a guitar or some shit, its like nano technology and its really crazy, I used to drum every day but my dad say'd no drumming since its for Like Cupids . Or something, but Yeah generally go electric acoustic guitars never have the same feel as a big hunk of titantium
@@upshitdownshit4200 Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this
@@kingbing9123 Your welcome like every fuckin time ive saved the world nobody thanks me god damn it I gotta take a chuchu to neverland cause apparently nobody gCARES. AT ALL.
@@upshitdownshit4200 Thank you for your service. Say, do you have any plans on expanding to Sideshit?
@@sauwensvk7589 HA
The volume knob isn't useless its actually used to annoy sound techs when amateur musicians can't figure out why their guitar is so quiet. it happens more often than it should.
Lmaoo
Another funny joke with cultural significance
Trueeee it always gets in the way when they’re palm muting and then they’re so confused while we’re sitting there practically screaming at them “ITS YOUR FUCKING VOLUME KNOB”
As someone who has not once picked up a musical instrument, and has only ever heard about one until today, I can confirm that this video is entirely accurate.
The one minute long description with the repeating panning images of the guitar was absolutely brilliant
hi
@@bigass97 hello
I used to work at a guitar store that was a dealer for Godin guitars, the manufacturer featured here. I can 100% confirm that this video is spot-on and everything is true. I miss being the store's electric guitar taster to ensure it had the proper electric guitar taste.
@@BriFiConnections no no, Godin is the company. Gibson is the model, hence why it was displayed on the headstock.
That was my dream job! Sadly due to some events transpiring I can only work as the guitar's music juice balancer to ensure that the guitar has just enough music juice
I currently work at a guitar store that deals Godins. And I can just tell you, that the tasting process hasn't been the same since covid. "No, stop licking that man's guitar! He just wanted a setup done!" Ugh, fine, Mr. Rules, I'm just try'na do my job!!
@@swishfish8858 you can't blame a man for enjoying the incredible flavor and umami of a solidbody acoustic with MIDI piezo pickups. It's impossible NOT to lick.
@@BriFiConnectionsthen why did you that chief don't let your mouth write a check your butt can't cash what so hes blazing on the fretboard so hes a fuckin guitar nut what's it to you huh out of observations why don't you observe while he rams the bar to the body.
As a Guitarist, I can indeed understand the comedic genius of gluing three pieces of wood together. Truly some of the funniest shit I ever seen, especially when the tuning keys turn themselves into pickles
Once I spend 17 years learning the guitar, I too hope to fully understand and appreciate the 'glued wood' joke. I pray I can practice enough to develop the required skills.
I beg context to understand the ingenious joke Huggbees made.
@@sledgetable172 nah man, you just gotta do your practice time, too. It's the only way...
@@sledgetable172 Can you even imagine gluing pieces of wood together? Three of them??? Hahaha, classic
All jokes aside, it's allows the wood grain to go in multiple directions at once (like plywood) to give the neck more strenght while it is under tension, right?
"Most professional guitarists give the truss rod a full turn once a week" that killed me 🤣
As a clarinetist, I can confirm that this is exactly how guitars are made.
As a guitar center employee, I will say theres just the right amount of actual facts in here to make the jokes seem convincing to a non-guitarist.
Hey, do you need special expertise or skill to work for guitar center , if so what kind? sounds like a cool job.
@@madjazzdiscoking9421 I feel like just basic knowledge would be enough
They'd probably train you on what you need to know
My favourite is "the average guitarist turns the truss rod one full turn every week"
@@RetroPlus non-guitarist here, that will cause too much tension and crush the neck joint, right?
@@DH-xw6jp The neck would just keep bending like an uncooked piece of spaghetti until you can't adjust it anymore, one whole turn is a lot for a truss rod also. It's meant for subtle adjustments to make the strings sit lower to the frets for ease of playing
As a fellow guitar player, that master of puppets playthrough was top of the line, amazing quality. Huggbees could be the next Hames Jetfield.
Isn't it Jet Hamfield, whom is the lead guitarrer of The Puppet Masters?
you mean pames metfield, lead guitar? uhhhh dames wetfield rhythm guitar and vocals?
He's Name Hatfield rebirn
Lame Jetfield is a pretty great vocalist, I hear.
Nah he can be the next Jimbo handtricks
I love how every video starts out with straight facts, then takes a sharp left into comedy
I had to write an informative speech for my public speaking class (oh and the topic was 'guitar') and of course all college classes require you cite your sources, and so I used this video because the first couple of minutes sounded legit (I've never seen anything from this channel before), and so the part about the guitar's inception and changes, etc., Is what I used, and on my bibliography/works cited page I obviously pasted the link and title of this video...
Then sometime during my professor's reviewing and grading process she watched the video to check my work I suppose, and about two weeks later when grades were finally posted on Blackboard... I saw a 70 and a speech bubble 💬 next to my grade (which is common. It just means the instructor has some feedback for you to read) and in summary she basically dinged me for using insufficient material and said "my sense of humor is not appreciated" and that she takes her "field of work" super seriously (she's a college speech teacher that also works a second job that isn't remotely speech/public speaking related, and she hasn't given a speech since she graduated college back in the 70s or whatever, but yeah, this field of work is super cereal); my APA format and all the technical stuff was on point, and my actual writing and my delivery of my speech to the class was great according to the grading rubric, yet also according to the rubric, this source shouldn't have knocked me down to a C-... There's a place for people like her and that bitch Carol Baskin.
All in all, I think this is a funny little anecdote, and there is a lesson in this writing, and the lesson is to never go half ass, or even worse a 1/16th of an ass like I did and listen to a couple minutes of something and be like "oh hell yeah this will do" 😂 always go FULL ASS! This was my mistake and I own up to it but still, THANKS
Oh, and I still passed the semester with an A 🤙🏻🤙🏻
THANKS "HOW IT'S ACTUALLY MADE!"
3:29 and when it is done, it will be played by a sexually frustrated guitar player that's into prog rock and djent
Lmaooo
Not gonna lie, when I was a kid, I thought electric guitars worked by electrocuting when you play it, which in hindsight is 100% more badass.
This *is* how electric guitar works if you’re playing in a building with faulty wiring! Just watch out for microphones because they will kill you when this happens.
@@Chris-mc2dt I like getting electrocuted by my amp it turns me on always have a guitar buddy to pull you off it though. and pull you off if it doesn';t you know...
@@shadowivy333 Why are you calling me boomer...
th-cam.com/video/TwIvUbOhcKE/w-d-xo.html
yeah that's more like electroboom guitar
I just discovered your channel and have played and built guitars for 38 years and can vouch that this is the single most accurate film ever made on the guitar by anyone ever.
Watch moar, this channel is great
Did you build them for your brother Paul?
THEY GLUE A SMALLER, THINNER PIECE OF WOOD TO A BIGGER PIECE OF WOOD! HA HA OH FUCK OH MY GOD HA HA HA HOLY SHIT!
I've worked at multiple guitar factories, and have been employed as a technician at many shops- everything you said at 5:00 hurt me to my very core.
But it's all completely true.
I always love how these videos start out like an actual How It's Made and slowly descend into chaos.
Electric guitars are really cool, glad to finally learn how they’re made.
GAGAGAGAGA I just disliked my own face because I am unpretty. HOWEVER: I always like my GOOD videos however. No dislikes allowed where I come from. Don't be mean, dear one
just imagine any of those guitars could be going to the next big guy
@@AxxLAfriku fuckin hell axxl haven't seen you in a hot minute, still dating your two sisters? Or were they your cousins?
@@js-1108 is this TH-cam beef?
As a musician , the inside joke about the guitar neck is absolutely hilarious
That third angle, classic 🤣🤣🤣
Hah, angles.
Right? XD
"most professional guitarists give the truss rod a full turn about once a week"
"This factory recommends soaking your guitar in soapy water about once a week to clean it"
absolute nightmare sentences, this channel never disappoints
3:59 that caught me so off guard I spit out my drink from laughing
Just pumping out those videos lately like water from a rinsing machine.
He's an educational filling machine.
IT'S A FILLING MACHINE
what makes you think a rinsing machine just uses water
Got any smoke on that water?
@@Kathen I feel this comment definitely deserves more likes.
4:15 Professor Oak No!!!!!!!
Professional guitarists who truly respect themselves tighten a full turn on the truss rod everyday!
4:47 That Fist of the North Star reference caught me off guard.
One of the funniest things this son of a bitch ever said
I needed that joke like a hole in my chest .

as a pianist, i can confirm this is exactly how guitars are made
as an off-key shower singer, I concur.
0:32 i like how this entire intro is just b-roll shots of an electric guitar in a random parking garage
Im gonna do it, im going to explain the joke at 4:25 . As a hermonica player i want to see the world burn. So the reason they are gluing those pieces of wood at a angle is too get a angled headstock, but gibson guitars are known for there shit tier angled headstocks breaking super easily and is kinda a meme among guitarists.
9:41 "The neck pick-up is predominantly used by giant pussies."
Me, a jazz player, Yes I am.
Tbf its pretty good for being completely inaudible half the time
It's always a good day when Huggbees releases an How It's Actually Made
"An how"? Are you twelve?

This is gonna be a depressing comment in 10 years….

5:27 Shrink-wrapped mummies is not an image I was expecting to get from this video.
4:41 Why the hell don’t all factories have a Black Firesteel Mega-Engine at their disposal?!
Why not?
3:02
Fun fact: The wood must be moist due to the fact that this factory uses powdered glue, rehydrated from the moistwood.
This is due to severe budget cuts, which is also why we got in for free to film this.
Wrong timestamp?
As a guitarist with many years of experience I have to say, I've never seen a more entertaining "how it's made" of guitars! 😂👍
You really sold your soul early. I started watching your glorious vids from newest to oldest. I love your enteranus. Thanks!
As a piano player, I can confirm that this is how guitars are made
I clicked on this video expecting to just watch a guitar get made but instead found pure gold
Same.
Welcome to the greatest channel on TH-cam
As someone who plays guitar, that cover of The Master of Puppets wasn't actually that bad.
It was perfect for TH-cam: just bad enough to avoid Content ID.
@@ReverendTed This is both a burn and accurate,
Nice.
sounded alternate picked
@@shroomlord682 even more authentic
The neck pickup joke was spot on lmao. I could tell that you play guitar from that joke alone
10:30 Is that the rock of '87? 😲😲😲
Quick question, is it possible for "liquid black" to be converted into "solid black" in case there's a wood shortage? Asking for a friend of course.
This is very important to know, in case you don't have wood.
Sorry - I mean if your FRIEND doesn't have wood. Of course.
@Maxx B. I hear that is indeed the most reliable wood.
For his friend, I mean, Naturally.
Get a copy of the sunflower manuel from somewhere.
I have a friend who says she loves some solid black. She never explains it, but from what I gather, she puts it somewhere a guitar never goes.
@@cashkromsupernerd1193 At home, because a true guitarist always keeps their guitar on hand in case of a sudden and unexpected rock battle.
When I had my guitar custom-made, I asked for extra music juice to be used in painting it, but the technicians accidentally put too much music juice on it and now I can only play songs from Limp Biskit
Well you know what they can do with THAT particular cookie
Oh, so if they add too much the effect loops back on itself and makes anti-music corrosive acid. Good to know.
It took me awhile to figure out what these videos reminded me of
And it feels like this entire series is Night Vale's version of How It's Made.
0:40 I feel so called out, in a good way, for playing multiscale guitars. The funniest part is that, not only do I have a seven and eight-string guitar, I also have a 9-string Schecter.
Thanks Andrew for this insightful video.
Edit: Obviously I play metal.
5:06 This is super helpful advice! I was wondering why my guitar wouldn't stay in tune! Thanks for the informative video Hugbees!
I feel cheated and betrayed. At around 6:00, There are 24 saw blades, one chocolate blade, and one mint blade
I counted 24, one rinsing blade, and one filling blade
Wrong timestamp
This has to be some of your best work, man. Well done XD
This really showcases Huggbees’ balance of actual truthful commentary and funny riff-raffs.
Also, if that was legit you playing, nice! I mean you crapped out but it was still kinda neat.
It’s true, guitar necks come from the guitar neck tree. They’re endangered. That’s why we need to buy used to stop the deforestation of our beautiful guitar neck tree forests.
Fun Fact: All guitar companies have a secret recipe of 13 herbs and spices to make their own unique music juice
I just found your channel and I have to say, your videos really are on another level... Keep up the good work :D
transition was so smooth i didnt even notice the ad until half way through it
9:53 - While the video shows a worker drilling holes: "This is boring."
I chuckled.
If only they were joining two pieces of metal - that could be riveting!
If only the screws didn't have threads, then he could really nail it
Huggbees, the only thing being amplified is your awesome sunglasses.
@Lisfa Ensa 📽️ Only fans for people that are stupid and click on your link that leads you to a knockoff Only fans aka "SUGESTION LIVE" you even spelled suggestion wrong. This is an obvious virus. I didnt know robots could spell stuff wrong. What the heck do you think you're doing on a Huggbees video? Only fans has nothing to do with electric guitars.

"A guitar without any electric components is known as a non-electric guitar."
" Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes "
I tossed this on assuming it was a normal "how it's made" type video. I am so fkn happy I watched this, really appreciate your work!
thank you Mr. Hummus for giving us more good content
"Then they attach the volume and tone controls, which as every guitarist knows, are completely useless." This is fact. All volume and tone adjustments are made on the amp. You might use the volume to play Van Halen's "Cathedral," but the tone control is like teats on a bull.
I actually use the tone knob, but my lespaul is on bridge pickup, for some reason rolling the tone pot or volume or volume on the neck pulled for single coil changes the tone. with the neck position off and the volume pulled to single coil , just on bridge , i get a bit of a Jonny Thunders tone.
Sick cover at the end, Brah!
Great footage and incredibly informative commentary

As a former guitar, I can confirm that's how I was made

Nobody talking about how there’s a 3rd type of machine? The sawing machine! I thought everything was either a rinsing machine or a filling machine, but this has really evolved the way I think
Don't look into metalworking then. They usually hit metal with other metal until one gives up and peels like an onion. Such torture.
There's spinning machines, high-speed erosion machines, punching machines, and even machines that are so angry they cut things with laser eyes.

Not even lying. I thought this was a legit video on how electric guitars were made. I was not disappointed at all and you sir have earned a sub. Thank you.
As someone who mods electric guitars can I just say that this was absolutely 100% accurate and documents my workflow perfectly
The advertisements at the start of these new videos completely ruin the illusion and ability to trick people into thinking these are actual How It's Made segments
And it being fucking raid is honestly disappointing
