- I was curious about the sound characteristics and the playability of a guitar made entirely of metal.
The project brought clarity to my questions. I'm not a big metalworking master and welding professionals are sure to throw their hands up in horror, but it was really fun and instructive to build it. The biggest advantage is, that waiting times for glue are simply eliminated. In many aspects, metal is easier to work with than wood. However, the welding caused many deformations due to the temperature, which gave me a lot of headaches.
The tone is full and balanced. I never thought this. I have installed a P90 neck pickup and a bridge humbucker (both Duesenberg). I know these pickups well and they sound in my ears at least as good as on a wooden guitar. I placed the recording device (Zoom H4n) directly in front of the box and took it over without editing. The sound is only reproduced roughly, but its ok. Maybe I'll do a direct "shoot out" between the wood guitar and the metal guitar in an extra video. I made nearly the same guitar out of wood in this video:
• Craftling: Electric Gu...
The biggest disadvantage of the guitar is of course the weight: 9 kg (18 lbs) ... cough ... This is an uncomfortable amount even when playing on the leg. Hanging on the strap I'm happy if it does not break my neck.😅
So what do you think? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Not playing Iron Man on this guitar is criminal.
Or playing the metal by Tenacious D
Or playing Iron Maiden!
Or Metallica
Made of Metal from Halford
Iron Butterfly.
You're crazy, this world needs more crazy people like you
I totally respect you for building the best grounded electric guitar in the whole universe
The guitar is awesome, but what I really want after watching this is a headbanging windmill.
me too!!!
Thank you for posting your observations with this project.
Things I would never have considered, (like the deformations you speak off, and the shear weight you would be carrying...) is invaluable knowledge to the observer, whom may try and take on something like this, and I am very grateful for your objectivity, and sharing.
Nonetheless, your project is EXCELLENT.
Dude as a guitar builder myself and a retired metal worker i take my Hat off to you , its the Dog's Bollocks and sounds totally Awesome well done 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you KARL!😊
the real metal sound, very good job man is amazing, greetings from mexico
I absolutely loved this project! I've always enjoyed really interesting or weird guitars, and this is now my absolute favorite.
Totally unbelievable! I had a smile on my face through your entire video. I sort of know how much work your putting into this job, and your dedication is well beyond what I could muster up even on speed. Just amazing to watch. Your right, the sound isn't far off from a wood guitar, and THAT truly was unexpected as your said. I can hear somewhat of a metallic resonance, but really not what I expected. Watched your nail and acrylic guitars, I am humbled by your shear creativity and craftmanship.
Hi Barry!
Thanks for this comment! I am very honored.😊
But the nail and acrylic guitars are not mine😉
Greetings!
So.. what kind of music do you play?
Heavy Metal. All the time. Even when I'm playing R & B.
SCNR.
incredible work my Bro I congratulate you that I am already your fan, keep it up don't stop 🤘🏽🤘🏽 hugs from Lima-Peru
Wow, metal as hell.

The ultimate METAL guitar
So much for the tonewood argument, lol
Great video and great guitar!
Man, this is such a cool guitar. I respect you on your metal work.
INCREDIBLE Build!!! Seriously fun video to watch!!
The definition of Metal! Love the art!
real TRUE metal guitar for TRUE metalhead )))))) man - you are the best!!! you make my day!
Very cool! Love your videos and craftsmanship.
Next video: Diamond guitar
😂
@@craftlingsworkshop hey can i buy one of your guitars
just what I was thinking of doing, and much respect for your talents and the overall construction.....but now, even though I want the challenge, I think I will try to find someone who manufactures a tele metal body and forego the awesome project....thx again for the great project and sharing your work and results....
I love the headstock design
Absolutely incredible!!!!
Kind of late on the comments. I had seen the Kraken guitar but somehow missed this build. Killer tone! It does not sound like an all metal guitar. Just goes to show that you don't always need tonewoods to have a great sound. The only drawback would probably be the weight!
cool build,and alot of work, Godbless
It was good to see a new video was up.... this video was so metal 🤘🏾
Это будет первая в истории гитара, которая заржавела!)))))
Не заржавела, а пошла винтажным коркелюром
The first guitar Pete Townshend couldn’t smash! Great work, man.
Congratulations I wish I had one
So creative, so cool man!
The best way to handle heat warping is to weld little bit by little bit, allowing it to cool to a certain temp to go back to welding. This method is used on certain job sites to keep the integrity of the metals you're working with
i felt it deep in my soul when your tap broke. rip
coolest guitar I've ever seen
Thanks a lot Roman!👍
This is something very incredible. Absolutly perfect to play punk rock.
Awesome build..he’s wild.,cool
It sounds surprisingly pretty good
I can only imaging how heavy this would be.
In the description it says that it weighs 9 kg (18 lbs)
@@geovannid5781 Let him play with his imagination.
Only if you're not worthy
I want one! Great Job Man!
This is even more metal than King Buzzo's axe
This is so awesome
Now i understand definition of "heavy metal"
Bravo, très belle réalisation metal et super son
Merci beaucoup, Marc!😊
That guitar is beyond Metal AF! Rock on bro! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
Amazing. A great job!!!
Thank you!!!☺️
hands down the metal-est thing I've seen all day.
Very nice video(s). Thanks.
the pick ups are finna melt in the sun
Great job. And the sound is so-so. :)
yes but can you make it without power tools?
make a iron-kraken-guitar!
just kidding
you are great!
😅Perhaps next time😅, thanks a lot!
wow cool idea! I should try
Most metal guitar I've ever seen in my life
Fantastic job. You're crazy :))
Thank you!😊
Fantastic man, like from INDONESIA 🖤
Skills for Days!!! awesome
Sick build bro. Would love to hear some heavy chunky ass metal riffs off that beast. Good work bruz
Look so nice its have own style
best part, no need for shielding
Great video. Nice axe
Heavy metal guitar for some heavy metal music! Sick look! love it!
Takes a truss rod OUT of the equation. Gotta take it to an auto-body shop to get a setup done. If you hear thunder, drop it fast. That's what I call a FLAMED top. If you want to see the world burn, you can put wooden control knobs & pickup brackets on it. That's all the dumb comments I've got for now.
18lbs though, good gawd. Maybe a lap diffuser when sitting, like a widened platform it could hook into so it spreads out the weight over your legs rather than jamming into your thigh.
Awesome build, man!
You are multi-talented person I've ever known. You are a guitarist, welder, painter, etc. Very Cool man! ❤ Keep It Up 🙂
Thanks a lot, Ryan!
@@craftlingsworkshop Just put some video of your craftmanship ❤
Nice one!
You are the Best, i'm from Brazil and now i am your fan. Você é muito ninja cara parabéns pelo trabalho. Gostaria muito de tocar uma de suas guitarras
amazing
I love it!
Vraiment super....
It would be interesting to hear how this guitar sounds whithout an amp
Amazing job man
Sounds good. Im tempted to sample some of that grinding!
AMAZING
This guitar is so metal
real cool man
Really good guitar, I saw guitars made of aluminium but steel i saw first time. Awesome idea)
I like that the fret markers are removabal
Dang it, that's metal!
_A_ _W_ _E_ _S_ _O_ _M_ _E_
I love it, dude❤️✨
Man thats some heavy metal 🤘
Fookin brilliant
I would be surprised if you ever got grounding issues with this guitar.
Great video & build. Fun to watch. :)
Awesome! no doubt super heavy but still amazing!
Really a good sound( in your fingers).
THIS is the stuff legends are made of. This is beyond the realm of awesome! Could you make me a Bass like this? 😂❤
OK I LOVE THIS
They call it....HEAVY METAL!!!!!!!
That’s pretty metal dude
I'd love to see Rob Scallon on this thing xD just to see what he thinks of this amazing monstrosity :D
Real nice to watch you make this guitar, and the Kraken too!
So ... aside from making really cool guitars, what do you do for a living?
U're the best craftman
This is so heavy metal
Now that's what I call heavy metal!
Looks great nice work! However I would like to to see it polished and the welds cleaned up
Tell me, which tonesteel you're using?
That's some amazing skills!
I was kinda hoping for a one-piece cast iron guitar. Properly seasoned before stringing, of course.
Ohhhhh, yes! Now I would make you see this video of all the adherents of the "overtone and tree decide" sect))))))
I guess you can say this is the most metal guitar ever
The welding is not high quality but who gives a shit. It gaves this guitar character and a rough look. Very well done job. An inspiration for my to go for it! Best regards Wim
I am really curious how thick the plate work of the guitar body is? Would love to know. I used 2mm but it is way to heavy. Thx if you can tell me. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@22:51 two words : "Cutting Oil" ;) awesome work
I'm sure I'll piss off all the tonewood snobs out there, but I don't give a shit. This just goes to show that no matter what material is used to build a guitar, the electronics that are used are really what determines the sound of the instrument.
I love it. I got a big kick out of welding in the frets! How did you determine where to place the bridge?
Thanks Dave! ☺️
The bridge is twice as far away as the distance from the saddle to the 12th fret. And then it is aligned and tilted by about 3 degrees... Greetings! 👋🏻
so cool to see an allround builder, wondering if you got the tools a promotion on theire products...lol
maybe you should get sponsored.
money wise...
great job again.. :-)
Someone: "Dude, you can play metal on pretty much ANY electric guitar."
Craftling: "No!" and gets to work...
