- I built yet another guitar out of 1200 colored pencils.
My website: www.burlsart.com/
Song played in the Demo is Mateus Asato's version of Let it be

Thanks for watching! Like I said in the video, all proceeds from the sale will be going to Feeding America's Covid-19 Response Fund: www.feedingamerica.org/
Will post proof of donation on my instagram @ Burls Art
Burls Art try installing a Floyd rose on your next guitar
Nice dude. I would really enjoy if you branded your neckplate. Maybe try etching it. Etching is really easy done with a 9v battery and some saltwater.
all i wanna know is how would it look like if the neck were made the same way and glued in, in the way LPs are done, other than the reason that made it sounding that cool...i mean except for the talent
Thanks for being great!
I see you’re a fan of Mateus asato
I will literally never get tired of you making these videos
Same
Me, neither ❤
Same!
His video are the best
And we will never be tired of watching them. They are strangely satisfying.
My favorite thing about this channel is he doesn't feel the need to post a video every day or week. He just builds guitars, films it, puts time and effort into every single little detail, and puts it out. And every single time I see he's posted, I run to the video to see just how much better this guitar looks than the last one, and this guitar is fuckin stunning. If you end up reading this man, thank you for giving us a behind the scenes on everything it takes to make something truly unique. It's great to see how far you've come with your craft. Stay safe man, one love.
*at an art store*
Employee: how many pencils you want
Burls art: *I L L T A K E Y O U R E N T I R E S T O C K*
Good morning Sir. I want colour pencils please.
How wonderful, how many of them sir?
Yes.
Ron Swanson: "Wait, wait ... I worry what you just heard was: Give me a lot of colored pencils. What I said was: Give me all the colored pencils you have. Do you understand?"
@@JPDillon yeees good one.
ALL OF THEM!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude is an artist verging on full-blown luthier at this point-and now he’s got a guitar selling for 10 grand, which he’s donating entirely to charity. This is how it’s done man, congratulations and keep making awesome content. Hope some musicians get wind of this thing and jack the price into the stratosphere!
6.6k, but I'm certain it'll increase soon. That thing is gorgeous.
@@acasualescapedscp4418 shows 10k where I'm looking
@@Eric-469It wasn't when I last checked, but I just did and yeah, it's gotten crazy expensive.
@@acasualescapedscp4418 I thought for sure that 10k was the starting price. Can't believe it's been driven up that high.
we’re not gonna talk about how GOOD he actually is at playing the guitars he makes???? man of many talents right here
Bass
That's probably why he builds them
I mean, he gotta demonstrate how well built the guitar is and also strum on it to show that it can work just as well as a normal guitar and prob has no one who likes guitar and decided to pick up some skills himself
I don’t think he would build them if he didn’t have interest for them.
Big Papi People who say that usually don’t play bass. They just watch Davie504
5:55 I love how the video cuts align perfectly with the music
It's the little things that make the edits special
This man has singlehandedly created an entire genre of content.
Yeah nobody has ever made wood working videos!
Edit: or uploaded a project of any sort, never been done before on TH-cam. Can't believe it took till 2020 for someone to finally upload one
@Mitch i dont know if your new to his videos but his format is unique ... its not just wood working or guitar making for that matter... its seeing an instrument being made and hearing him use it in that enchanting demo at the end... i think you missed the point there... cheers anyway..
@@Mitchmckeeguitar damn you're limited
@@Mitchmckeeguitar who pissed in your cereal this morning?
@@ramdasprasad3792 i think the "genre" OP is talking about is the "I Built A Guitar Out Of [weird shit]" thing
hey, i know you end up having to throw away a lot of wood during these projects so what about if over the next 3 to 5 projects you save all the scrap and cut it into small pieces and surround these bits in epoxy. then you would have a cool looking clear and wood chip guitar! love your vids btw:)
I'd like to see that happen
Jeremy Cordina great idea 👍.
Colored pencil tip guitar?
Joe R M I think the pencils come without a tip...
@@thom_w he cuts them off in the video. They came with tips.
This guys talent is unbelievable, i would buy this if i had money
Burls: "I'm going to be selling this guitar"

Best I can do is twenty bucks and some lit mac and cheese recipes
@@VenNoel lmao, I'd add about 10 packets of instant ramen
Dude, good on you, both for finally selling a piece, and for donating that money to the cause. Looks awesome and sounds great. Best of luck with the auction brother.
Playing 'Let it Be' was perfect, especially with that backdrop ... nicely done
The colored pencil dot inlays are my favorite thing ever.
Jon Hovance for some reason it made me see it more as a toy/ childish and more of a novelty, but not drastically I mean it’s really good and I’m not anywhere near this creativity level but yeah just my POV
Couldn't agree more! I literally said "WOW THATS SICK" right when he zoomed in on the neck.

@@balls4992 lol wtf 😂
I can see how a musician would be 'drawn' to this guitar.
..I promise, I'm almost done.
Haha loved it 😂😂
I saw your other comment on the salt guitar ans jesus you're hilarious
It's a bass not a guitar

No make it out of led and you got some heavy metal and if you make it very dangures out if just cores frome rocks you got deathcore
what is your favorite guitar brand??

@@PixieMinie *Pencil*
I love that you show your small mistakes (plus solutions). Makes the whole thing more genuine and doesn't make me feel like crap when my own DIY projects are not perfect on the first try
Imagine making a guitar and having people bid more money on it than a custom Les Paul or PRS. Absolutely nuts and totally deserved, nice job my guy
If it's going to charity people will overpay. Nice guitar though.
David Scolare how much did it sell for?
@@clivediamond7141 $10k
I love the binding, I think that really pulled the whole thing together. Looks fantastic.
It never ceases to amaze me how, you turned a block of wood in to a working electrical instrument, that is also a piece of art. I'm still in awe when I look at my own guitar.
Damn, donating all the money to Feeding America, my man.
LoreskTube the guitar is at $9100 rn
@@willispautz holy moly...
Lets make a deal here:
Keep making this videos,and I'll keep watching them.
Oh man I was not prepared for how classy that Let It Be piece was at the end. Very, very well played sir.
The background music is back! These videos are so relaxing. Watching on repeat. And good on you man for donating the proceeds for all that hard work. Gorgeous guitar.
These videos make me feel like I could build a guitar.
Same
They are really fun to make and a great experience. I made 2 in my highschool shop class
You can!!!
Besides the one that Eddie Van Halen was known for playing, this is one of the most original designs that I've ever seen.
@@panoramicc5754 true
The video edition took another level. I loved how you used the slow motions, the sunlight, the camera angles, it's sharped as f.
I loved watching your videos even if I have 0 manual skills and that I'd most likely end up with fingers cut in half lol
The word is editing. Edition means something different.
Sees title*
Watches video*
Me: Wow he makes this guitar by himself... An artist and a guitar craftsman.
Sees him play the guitar*
Me: *Seriously?*
@OUR TUBE 😂
As soon as I saw the logo I was like “he’s selling his guitars?!”
Beautiful, the best one yet. Strange times right now and a very generous pledge from you, I'll head over to eBay and try my luck.
Art store: How many pencils do you need?
Burls: Yes
*slow clapping*

I'd like 10,000 marbles

I’ve never clicked on a video faster in my life

The perks of having your own workspace.
@@SteelSkin667 The perks of having the right mindset.
True, I'm literally too lazy to change my strings. Haha!
3:16 the sound the machine made cutting that wood matched perfectly with the music and i feel like I'm dreaming
YES
That’s a very dope version of “let it be”! Honestly!!!
Sounds like the Mateus Asato version!
Hope he upload a cover of that song with his versión
Fv E Damn it The Beatles are one of my weaknesses.
not only a sick guitar, but a wonderful arrangement of, "let it be," at the end! Would love to have the guitar.... and the tabs for that arrangement! haha
Joe Sabella it’s actually a cover of Mateus asatos version of Let it be check that video out and I’m pretty sure there’s a couple of tab videos for it too
Elliot Jimenez awesome! Thanks for the info!!
@@elliotjimenez1854 Burl got me into Mateus with his first video and I can't thank him enough for that.
Joe Sabella no problem enjoy
You're a good player too.. I love when you playing your handmade guitar
He’s come so incredibly far compared to his previous builds I’m really impressed
DONNY QUIZ He’s perfected the build so far it’s astonishingly crafty.
nice spin on "let it be" and a great work of functional art.
its really a gorgeous cover
Dude I'm just happy the colors aren't chaotic... I have been waiting for someone to do it!
I love how you always do something new fundamentally, you dont just make a body out of whatever and throw a neck on it. Theres real progression in your vids, tryin something new. Keep up the good work
Instructions:
First, make a perfect guitar
Next, say there are imperfections when there really aren’t
Then, take a beautiful picture of your beautiful guitar
Last, play Let it Be for the demo
PERFECTION!!!
I know alot of guitar brands and they're models but you stept things up. This is the best looking guitar i've seen so far 👍
Dude, you’re so talented and being willing to donate this with all your time and effort is awesome. You’ve got my support in perpetuity!
Me: Well, he released it this day, can't be too much yet on ebay. Let's drop a dollar.
Me, checking link: o_O
What does it say? 😬😬😬
Right now: 9100
Cool
$9100 two days ago. $5001 now. Wait a few more days and that dollar might win it for ya :)
Right now $6601
I agree, this is the best colored pencil arrangement for a guitar. I love the bindings too. They give it a very polished and professional look.
Soon he’ll be making crayon out of guitars
Me: “Awesome guitar, awesome charity. Love to get it, looks great!”

We've seen this trick before, and that one didn't sound good, either. But hey, hope he raises a lot of money.

This is so therapeutic to watch....and it’s not the first that I have seen of your videos. Love it.
Heck yah I missed u where u been
Book store guy: Oh hi sir ¿how many pencils would you need today?
Burls Art: yes
You buy coloured pencils from book stores?
kikibirdball You can, I’ve seen them there, but idk if he did.
I have ZERO knowledge about making guitars, ZERO knowledge about those machines, ZERO knowledge about playing a guitar, yet I enjoy your videos so much.
Amazing guitar build, love the addition of the Burls sticker
"Let it be" is perfect for the generous support theme to this video.
11:01 Dude! You play like a LOFI!!! DUDE I wanna hear that music again🥰 its really chillin me out❤️🤟🏻
I really wanna hear someone with a raspy kinda louis Armstrong voice singing let it be to that cover... like I really want that
i really like the cardinals profile picture
Yes please.
I like your profile picture 😳😳😳😳😳
That fretboard is sick. This is probably my favorite one you've done.
It’s absolutely stunning. Your channel is such a success story. Super talented, I’d love to play one of your guitars one day. 🤩👌🏻
I wonder if Burls Art will ever check the tension of his band saw
Burl: “it’s pretty bright sounding”
Me knowing absolutely nothing about guitars: “well gee I would hope so”
Stumbled on to your page. Love your work! I find it very therapeutic just watching the entire process of your guitar making. You make beautiful art pieces and I don't anyone who would not feel lucky to own one of your guitars. My son would love to have one. Anyway, I hope your auction of the colored pencils went well. It's nice to know there are people with a lot of heart still left in the world!!!
Friend: I forgot my guitar 🤦
This guy: Say no more fam
This guy is definitely founding a brand
BRO IM SO HAPPY YOU DONATED!!! I’ll be watching all your videos from now on
This is one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen, for real.
These guitar builds are exceptional. They really kick the myth of having to have the right type of tone wood for a good guitar. As a joiner myself, I would say that experimenting with different materials for a project will definitely make it more interesting and fun. Great job lad 👍
It does affect the sound, but doesn't make it worse than nice wood...it's different sounds ...
Musician, artist, craftsman and just an all around good person. Building a one of a kind guitars in such a way that makes it also a piece of art, donating your time and skills crafting this beautiful ax and selling it, not for your own profit but for to help people during one of the worst pandemics our country and people have seen in over 100 years. That is a beautiful act of compassion. The world needs more heart felt people like you. Thank you for sharing your talents and thank you for being you.
When the bid is already at $9000: *sad guitar noises*
I'm overjoyed! Why would this be sad?
Unpersonable Me I’m happy it’s at that price, but who wouldn’t want this one of a kind guitar😢 but it’s for a great cause tho
But also happy guitar noises.

I hope one day he uses one of his homemade guitars and dedicates a whole vid on just playing it,he’s rlly good! Great vid man🤙🏻
This guitar looks so clean. I love the stuff you make, thank you!
Imagine this being featured at Sam Ash or Guitar Center. Worth every pencil
That neck looks crazy good man! Great job! I'd love a traditional body Tele with that neck... OMG that would be sweet! Also great headstock design! You should copyright that right away!
This is AMAZING!!! I would love to have a guitar like that so I can play songs at my gigs. You did an AWESOME job on this guitar and this is truly a masterpiece....outstanding!
Ah hell yeah. This one is amazing!
yo he's sooo damn good at the guitar, I thought I was just gonna see a colored pencil guitar being built.
Watching these is not only memorizing, but it helps teach me about the parts of a guitar as a guitarist.
You should do something with the pencil tips
„a lack of face masks“, that‘s never an issue for a wood worker.
I really wish you had a shop of workers filling custom orders and every guitar was met by your standards. Id totally order a bass with some pot leafs and trippy stuff inside it. I could even donate the leaves :) Good song at the end i love the beatles
Day whatever of quarantine

So glad you did another pencil guitar but laid down instead of standing pencils. Beautiful work and the sound is lovely.

I'd honestly start doing lefty's to i like this guitar sounds amazing and you could make a colored pencil bass it'd look sick.
Am I the only one who wants this guy to just make a sound track so I can listen to his beautiful guitar playing
That was a really sick remix (or whatever you call it) of “Let It Be.”👍
When my artist self saw that he was using prismacolors: AHHHHHHahh 😱😱whyyyyyy but it's so cool~~
Was those prismacolors? XD
i mean theese are so good and so freakin expensive XD
PRISMACOLORS??? Why would he do that to himself oh my god just use crayola
Maybe it's because higher end pencils use real wood. Idk about prismacolors though
OMG I didn't realise. why us such expensive amazing pencils???
Imagine being like "I'm going to spend hundreds of my own hours making a piece of art out of pencils" and then also thinking "with these shit pencils I found at the dollar store".
This is for sure one of your prettiest designs so far. Really nice
Hey, have you tried taping the area you’re drilling before? Sometimes having that bit of extra shit in the way can stop tear out on epoxy drilling.
