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.

As said, its difficult to describe with words how overwhelmed we feel, seeing Paul with our T-Ultimate Neolithic in the Stravinsky Auditorium in Montreux. Beyond incredible. Can't thank everybody who made this possible enough for this. So many cool things came together that weekend. And thank you all for your nice comments. Kind regards, Derk Jan ❤❤
Hello, Can you tell us what the price range will be? I really want this guitar but idk if i can afford it. I think its the most beautiful and best sounding guitar I’ve ever seen. Good job to all of you!
A wood that old, specially maple..... and then used as a guitar rather than any other thing is the best thing that can possibly happen to this wood. It made me so happy from heart.
@@TinyBolts1 Still better than used on a furniture or just get burned in a campfire. But it still matters though, resonates as Paul mentioned and that thing connects the instrument with the Player.
@@TinyBolts1ybe they have enough spare Wood To build an acoustic. Who knows... It would be Interesting indeed To listen To an acoustic guitar Made of this Wood. - just read Pauls comment and an acoustic Version is probably coming...
The guitar combined with the open venue is just magical. Timbre really sets the mood for everything we learn about the guitar and the history. Cheers Paul
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.
"its all about what it does to the player". In my humble opinion, one of the most true and soulful phrases I've ever heard about this beautiful music making tool we call guitar. Amazing video.
It was the Open D Tuning Riff for me. Cried for no reason. The riff always reminds me of everytime I felt unexplainable pain and the reason why need to be kind. Love you Paul!
Dear Mr. Davids, thank you so much for making this great video. I know Mr. Derk-Jan from my young years and he's the one who triggered me to learn to play guitar. Unfortunately we had to go seperate ways as I decided to emigrate but his influence was there and is there to stay. Through time I learned to know your channel and now I find you're also connected and made this great video. A really cool experience all together and once again thank you. I believe Mr. Derk-Jan is doing something really cool together with his partner in China.
Forgot to mention - this guitar is amazing! Wonderful that this ancient wood was discovered, recovered, pondered over, carefully considered and was brought back to life in this magical and useful way. To its creators and everyone involved in every step- well done!
My fathers name is Paul, and my Uncle was named David, both played guitar and in sense were both mentors of me and my playing abilities. Thank you for this video, it almost felt spiritual
Paul, I was hoping to hear the guitar acoustically before being amplified, just to hear it's unplugged voice. It's a beautiful build, thanks for sharing.
@@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.
It's really great design. I'm working at my ummm tele-335-strat and I'm in love with "two f-holes and tele style" formula. Fender's one f-hole style never looked good to me.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid Shape is just a visual aspect. For hollow body guitars the hole(s) area really matters for the body acoustic resonance. But not shape.
Kind of wish they woulda kept the look matte and made sure that the look of the wood would be as visible as possible. With the shiny finish it kinda, well, it kinda looks like any other guitar and yeah.
6:35 i really love that melody, I wish I could play it or you would do a torturial on it. I remember it from your open D video, I often return to it just to hear the sound. Its wonderfull.
i agree! i wondered if that was an original song...i thought if it was, he should release it... it would be a hit. id love a lesson but, also know im not skillful enough to play it.
A very nice Tele concept,but quite different to a Fender Telecaster.Quite typical is the angled headstock,like done by Höfner with its Reference guitars,late eighties. 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. I once met this builder,at the Noorder Gitaardag,Zuidbroek, Groningen, the Netherlands. He's a very gentle and polite man.
There is absolutely no way you can watch Paul Davids videos and not feel passionate about music. Not only for the way he plays guitar, but also for all the stuff he knows about music.
6:33: Is this a song or just a noodle? Are tabs available for it? Love it! Guitar is otherworldly. Not acoustically (at least as far as I can hear on my computer speakers), but what a story it has! I hope she ends up with a player who will keep her alive... not some collector who'd just lock her away.
I spoke with Derk Jan a few month ago at the Vintage Guitar beurs in Veenendaal and tried some of his beautiful guitars. He's such a dedicated and passionate man. Very kind as well. I think it's fitting he's making this kind of instruments. Right from the heart.
Also, Santa Cruz Style 1 Custom acoustic guitar with 45,000 Year Old Ancient Kauri and 3,000 year old Ancient Sitka Spruce. Love these luthiers creations and your channel!
I think this is the new "one" to lust after. Also, I think Paul was the perfect presenter. Luthier, story, player, venue, production and (of course) the guitar were all just right. Loved this.
Hello Paul. I find all your videos very interesting. I like the way you add life to the guitar. Your playing is very soulful. Lots of love from Nepal. ❤❤.
Aah man, what a simply beautiful way to start the day! Feel inspired and optimistic: a beautiful story, beautifully told and played. Great video. Thanks!
That's what i was thinking... I mean, once i saw a video of this brazilian guitarist that used the same set of picks in different guitars, made out of different woods. They sounded basicaly the same, so i figured out that using that old wood on a eletric guitar would be a waste
'Tonewood' is a myth when it comes to electric guitars with regular magnetic pickups. The sound comes from the strings disturbing the magnetic field of the pickups when they vibrate. The wood only matters when you have piezo pickups or play unplugged.
@johnnycbad or to the extent that the wood effects the way the strings vibrate and sustain to begin with, but not a huge impact usually as long as it's solid, dry wood
07:02 Please make a full track out of this, Paul! It sounds so lovely! I know you have a video where you teach how to play the picking pattern (06:37), but damn, I would give everything to listen to this on the music-platforms. 😊😊
Thanks Paul, another great video to lengthen your curious journey through guitar land! The guitar sounds great/ you make it sound great and really has spectacular looks....
It's not just about how much the player can get out of the instrument. But also about how much the instrument can bring out of the player. Bingo. You have a BIG point here, Mr. Davids. Great mini doc. (hello Netflix!)
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.
More, please. Love your presentations and especially your wonderful playing. This one was really nice, but definitely too short. Not a negative, just wanted more lovely music. Thanks.
Similar idea to Fen (bog) Oak, which at 5300 years old, quite useful in comparison. Dark, dense, rare as hens teeth. Few luthiers use it - Lowden for example. Lovely vid. Thanks PD
Lowden make guitars with bog oak 5000 years old they use it for back and sides it’s nice to have a piece of ancient Ireland in ur hands and making music !! I live 5 miles from the lowden factory beautiful irish ☘️ guitars !! Brian Ireland!! That’s a beautiful guitar as well 🎸🎸🎸
What an amazing and awesome guitar, would definitely love to hear an acoustic one made from this wood!!! ❤ Been really keen to build my own guitar for a while now, this has just been an extra bit of inspiration
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.

How does this hollow "telecaster" sound unplugged?

With this extremely close-grained ancient maple, is the wood still exceptionally lightweight?
This felt like watching a professional documentary. Really well done sir!
It is a professional documentary though?
@@JC-jw2kw you are correct. I meant something that I should have to pay to see
Great cinematography as always. A superb guitar made from aged

Where can I learn this riff? Made me cry for no reason too.
Leaving a comment here just in case someone tells the name
where ? 6:33 ?
It is definitely very pretty, it's from Pauls video about open d tuning.
I think it's from here: th-cam.com/video/9vbVwK9jqfk/w-d-xo.html . OPEN D: The most beautiful tuning for guitar! from Paul's channel.
Everything about this video is stunning. The story, the passion, the guitar, the playing. 👏
This should be a Netflix film. Very well done, Paul. Cheers!
Legendary. Also really happy to see you still play that open D riff at 6:40 . One of my favorites.
I was wondering what he was playing, is that something he's written? Does it have a name?
I'd love to learn it!

@@PaulDavids ahhh please tell me they're not rumours !!!!
That was my first thought too! ❤
@@PaulDavids sweeeeeeet! Can’t wait to see that!!
My thoughts exactly.....imagine the rich sound from the acoustic 🤩
we live on a strange planet that has weird things going on all the time. how many feet walked over that piece of wood in that time, on what journeys.
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.
