I take 14 old skateboard decks and turn them into an electric guitar. Buy a Burls Art Shirt: www.burlsart.c... The epoxy I used: (Use coupon code: burlsart15): www.totalboat....
Burl has never resorted to clickbait titles and algorithm-gaming thumbnails. It's just high quality, entertaining videos every single time. Hats off to you, dude xx
It's beautiful. I'm glad you decided to keep the little tail between the main wings. The way it flows with the lines is pretty much perfect. I love the way you tapered the points on the wings. For an 'out there' design' it really works and it's beautifully unique and of course most importantly it sounds good.
The guitar is fantastically crafted for sure, but the way he edits and syncs up the grinding and sanding sounds to the background music is the secret sauce
I thought that the laid down pencil guitar was my favorite but, this is by far my all time favorite! What a real beauty! The bottom reminds me of the front end of Speed Racer’s Mach 5! I’m a Libra and I tend to like this well balanced design more than let’s say a strat style. I’m blown away man! Wow!
That has to be THEE most beautifully spectacular guitar I have EVER seen! I wish you could make an acoustic like that and look THAT good! Not that I could ever afford one but your works of art have to be worth a fortune with all that work you put into them! I’m blown away when I watch your builds but this one just took/takes my breath away! Amazing works of art man! VERY impressed! 😳
Indeed, so refreshing not having the first 5 minutes of the build be "AYO- WHAT'S POPPIN GANG TODAY WE'RE MAKING ANOTHER LEGIIIIIIIT GUITAR BUILD!!!!!"!"!"!"!!!!"
*Don't give him any ideas!* Next, he will build a guitar from a fish tank (with live fish in it) for some Phish cover band...or maybe even Phish themselves... 🤔
Agreed, only a matter of time is right that someone will see these genius works of art and ask for one to be made, like several dozen stars did with James Trussart .. such amazing work right here.
You always impress me with your videos I've been in the band circuit for 20 years and I absolutely love your guitars have a great New Year can't wait for your next video
I've used recycled skateboards as a furniture-making material for a while because they tend to be essentially well-glued, similarly dimensioned pieces of maple plywood. They work out to be more interesting and cheaper than birch veneers, which all end up looking very mid-century modern no matter what you do. But between Skate Guitar, Aardvark, Musk, Prisma, Skate Or Design Furniture and copycats, the price of the material has risen about 230% in the past 2 years. Pretty wild.
dope, but can you build a guitar out of a guitar? edit: i meant this as a joke but i guess you can build a guitar out of old used guitars or something.
Bro I love your videos, they are so awesome. The work you do and the things you create, what there made out of, it's dope. You experiment and you never let something stop you. It's inspiring man
Unlike acoustic instruments, the majority of the tone in an electric guitar comes from the pickups - the wood itself doesn't play a huge roll in the overall sound of the instrument.
Hello from Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA. I am a big fan of TH-cam. There is such a huge variety of videos to watch, which I find both informative as well as entertaining. I have recently taken to watching videos of guitars being built from a variety of different materials. From Glass, Paper, Lego Bricks, and so on. As far as your builds go, this was the third of your videos that I've watched, and as far as I'm concerned, this "Skateboard Guitar" is, surely your best and most beautiful build. Keep up the good work. I'll continue watching. I envy your skill.
You are one of those people that when a new video is put up, I immediately stop what I am doing and watch that video. Love your channel, thank you for the amazing content.
Burl delivers again! Fascinating watching each new build’s organic growth. Love the fact that these old boards have been given a new life. My favourite build so far
I love how the angles in the shape, the curves in the grain on the side, and the straight lines of color all come together to look like a comet shooting towards the head
The channel is pretty much dead. Really lost its edge when the colored pencil guitars stopped being made. Look at the views on the views, they are going down.
@@aaronsocal2318 bro he only has 500k, his views are going down but they still are good for the size of his audience. His other vids just always blew up thats why lmfao
On April fools, I was half expecting an April Fools video titled "I build a guitar out of a guitar" and it's either you pantomiming that you're doing things to an already finished guitar, or you smash up a guitar and use the pieces to make a guitar. Glad you didn't make an April fools video, because you were working on this beauty instead! The colors the skateboards left behind look really cool, and the pattern you made with them is perfect, same with the shape you came up with. Fits really well with a skater aesthetic.
Yes finally a new video. Im a week late but stoked. Your craftsmanship is one of the best and you have the right ratio of talking description to just showing the work.
Man I needed a video like this right now. Was having a crazy bad morning and this just made it like 100 times better. Thanks for the awesome video and really loved that outro music.
Thanks everyone for the support you've all shown. I'm back at work now and living a normal life, which is what I was really missing the day this video came out. So thanks once again to Burls Art and everyone who thumbed my original comment.
I sense a Lil' Woby Design influence here!! Thats what ART is all about my friends!!! Finding Inspiration in others!!!! Congrats Brother, keep up your amazing work!! Peace out from the Great State of Tennessee!!!
I was hoping to do something like this with my old worn out boards; watching you makes me realize, I don't have the tools or skills. This is beautiful.
Burl has never resorted to clickbait titles and algorithm-gaming thumbnails. It's just high quality, entertaining videos every single time. Hats off to you, dude xx
The title actually does contain algorithm-positive keywords. But the thumbnail is just the guitar which is cool
Amazing, good job bro! The guitar very beautiful!
I’d love to see one made from old books. All the cheapies found at a thrift store, like kids books, romance novels, self-help, etc. Love this channel!
I misread that as boots and tbh that would be equally cool
Can you build 2 guitars out of 1 guitar? (2 smaller 3 strings guitars)
Cool idea
Or possibly all horror books cause they always have crazy art on the front of the book.
It's beautiful. I'm glad you decided to keep the little tail between the main wings. The way it flows with the lines is pretty much perfect. I love the way you tapered the points on the wings.

I love this guy, and what he does. Such artistry in build and song...
Besides he's a such a good guitar player and builder, I like mostly his honesty about his mistakes. Such a good guy...
you can always trust he does the right things, these videos are always crazy good as well with a relaxing feel al the way through
The only thing I wish he'd do is downtune for once lol
what is the song?
Can you build 2 guitars out of 1 guitar? (2 smaller 3 strings guitars)
Amazing work.
A suggestion: The knobs should have been wheels
Bearings are a perfect size for knobs
Bearings yeah probly. Wheels wouldve been WAAY too big lmao but still I get it it makes sense till you realize theyre way bigger than normal knobs
And the fretboard should have been a pice of griptape but covered with a thin layer of resin to smoothen it out
Next week, on Burl's Art: "I made a guitar with 10 thousand cigarette butts and a gallon of expired goat milk". I'd still watch it tbh.
I just saw someone build a bass out of cigarette butts. It actually looked awesome.
I could provide the butts for free, but he's going to need a...not necessarily local. .goat milk distributor.
Chris Siler you got that vid?
@@ShockinSammy no vid, but if you look up “guitar builders community” on Facebook he posted it on there
You can boil milk, add vinegar to it to make plastic.
Loving the long demo! The guitar is beautiful! Keep them coming!
The guitar is fantastically crafted for sure, but the way he edits and syncs up the grinding and sanding sounds to the background music is the secret sauce
That is what I noticed too 😁😍

Well done
Nice
TH-cam should have a bad pun algorithm
This is the most skatepunk thing anyone can do in God's green earth
me with 7 guitars: "i wish i had a skateboard"
burlsart with 14 skateboards: "i wish i had a guitar" funny how the world spins!
So we’re gonna get a “building a skateboard out of 7 guitars” video soon right?
This is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Amazing work!
damn that outro song was just on another level!
Absolutely
add drums and bass and its gonna be perfect
Super late, but I'm pretty sure it's Houston - Runaway. Great song.

I love how he just gets right into the build instead of 5 minutes of bs

Yeah I like that but how many ads there are is insane
The editing and music choice deserves appreciation as well as the amazing artwork.
Next we'll be seeing him creating a guitar with bricks at this rate
@Zen That was a different channel, Crafted Workshop
*Don't give him any ideas!*
Next, he will build a guitar from a fish tank (with live fish in it) for some Phish cover band...or maybe even Phish themselves... 🤔
@@SHADOWBLADER881 thanks
Lol next one with CD lol
He already did one out of concrete
Masterpiece! It looks outstanding!!! Love the symmetry you achieved on it...
Imagine if Burl started making custom guitars for celebrities. He'd be a millionaire
Matter of time..
I'd like to see that!
See when you start doing art and it becomes work it becomes less fun over time we don't want a burnt out Burls

Your creativity and resourcefulness continues to amuse me. What a beautiful guitar from an unlikely source!
You're a hell of an artist. This guitar is mesmerizing!

glad im not the only one
That was a great video, I'm mostly playing bass at home but I can play the guitar too. Good video Burls.
I love how the sounds of the machinery lined up with the background music, just another small detail that makes your videos that much better
This is the coolest guitar. Love how the shape was driven by the material. Nice work Sir!
dope, but can you build a guitar out of a guitar?
edit: i meant this as a joke but i guess you can build a guitar out of old used guitars or something.
lol , then out of bass
Can you build 2 guitars out of 1 guitar? (2 smaller 3 strings guitars)
Now that would be cool
That's called mod. It'll be too easy for him.😉
He could build a guitar out of Flex Tape.
Bro I love your videos, they are so awesome. The work you do and the things you create, what there made out of, it's dope. You experiment and you never let something stop you. It's inspiring man
This might be my favorite building materials I've seen you use. Skateboards and guitars are two of my favorite things. Guitar sounds great too. 🤘🎸🛹
My god that is beautiful! I love the design, the colours, everything! Would love to have one of these! \,,/
I love the fact thar every video shows you building your skills and doing something new in each vid
Somehow i feel like this dude is actually the dooo
I had exactely the Same thought

I would never expect a guitar made out of skateboard wood would have such an amazing tone. It's absolutely beautiful to both the eyes and ears
Unlike acoustic instruments, the majority of the tone in an electric guitar comes from the pickups - the wood itself doesn't play a huge roll in the overall sound of the instrument.

It's a design influenced by BC Rich, not really a "skater" design. More goth or 2000s Hot Topic nerd
Yes finally a new video. Im a week late but stoked. Your craftsmanship is one of the best and you have the right ratio of talking description to just showing the work.
The rythmic (and melodid?) editing in this one is sweet! Also a great looking end result to an interesting build, as always!
The rare breed of artisan, craftsman, and musician all in one package
This man takes “DIY” to a whole new level
Fantastic craftmanship and skills. Nice build and video!
You've come so far since the first guitar! I love watching you create these!
this might be my favorite of your music demos. bravo!
the editing is sick
Love how you got the lines of the veneer and guitar to match up

Awesome some though!
Nah, if he dropped that guitar he'd lose it forever.
I'd like to see a bass built from 8 track tapes.
Totally wicked! You have a brilliant style sense. And I appreciate your engineering mind.

Photo of it, or it never happened.

You know you masterd the craft of building guitars when your biggest challenge it's to compress a bunch of skateboards 😎
Again, love the music and the guitar.
I like that the neck was decorated too. Normally it gets ignored, possibly to 'balance' the design.
Okay Burl, we need to see you make a Les Paul out of the tears of fallen angels.
