Many guitars in the 40s didn't have bridge pickups. That's not really true nowadays. Also the neck pickup has a more "acoustic" sound than the bridge pickup imo.
supernintendo64 They don't mean bridge pickups as in "a pickup close to the bridge." They mean a pickup inside the bridge itself, which a vast majority of guitars do NOT have. And it does give a more acoustic-like sound because it doesn't pick up string vibrations (they aren't magnetic). Rather they pickup the vibration of the entire instrument. Look up piezo pickups.
Godin's are really nice guitars. If any of you are wondering, that's a Graph Tech Ghost piezo system, you can install it on almost any guitar with TOM, Floyd or fender style bridge; it's not just limited to Godin. And yes, mass produced guitars have pretty much the same processes anywhere; with the exception of PRS, who's manufacturing vids are on Harmony Central.
Yeah and when the gauge hits zero the neck is perfectly straight..LOL Where in the hell do they get this info for their narration ? I have watched many of there "How it's Made" episodes and every one of them is fucked up with wrong information or descriptions.
actually the narrator is referring to a piezoelectric pickup that some godin guitars have built into the actual bridge piece - pickup which is, in fact, very different to the 'bridge position' pickup you are probably mistakenly referring to because of its manner of picking up vibrations and not changes magnetic field and because of it's distinctive 'acoustic guitar' sound it manages to produce i guess it's not the narrator that hasn't got a clue about guitars, huh ?
@Jocke337 nahh, gibsons aren't really handmade, the are made very similar to this video except in bigger batches:P I still love my gibson but I can pick up any gibson no matter what the price and point out hundreds of little cost-cutting corners and mistakes, nothing big, but it just makes you wanna cry when you pay that much for a "handmade" mass-produced guitar:p
@imadey0utube they have been tested. they have to be, otherwise you may buy a brand new guitar for 500 bucks or so, and having it not work. how much of a bummer would that be?
become an aprentice - there are lots of private guitar makers around the country, assuming u have some carpentry skills, drop in or send in pictures of your work...
i hate when people call the whammy bar a tremelo. a tremelo effect quickly moves the volume up and down, never changes pitch. a whammy bar alters the pitch.
wow didnt know curing time for the finish was so long!!!! i wouldnt like to be the guy installing everytthing..... one slip and all that curing time wasted LOL
For the tap test, why do they hit it that hard? If you touch the pole lightly it makes a pop... :P rofl, I love how the narrator failsXD haha, building instruments and working on them is fun, that's what I'm gonna do for a living, I'm an apprentice right now:)
any1 know where i can get the parts they showed in part 1 and 2 to make my own electric guitar, or would it just be cheaper and better quality to buy a bc rich warlock from guitarcenter for like $190(thats after 6% sales tax)?
0:42 The frets aren't level, so they sand them down to be level. 1:19 They straighten out the neck. Won't it already be straight after sanding the frets down to be level? After all, they're always making sure multiple frets are level with eachother. If frets 1 to 5 are level, and 2 to 6, and 3 to 7, etc, then fret 1 to 24 should be level, right?..
Do Goden guitars have a threaded bushing in the neck for the neck screws to go into? They are mentioned two times but I didn’t see them and I’m not aware of any other guitars that have them.
he's talking about a pickup UNDER the bridge (a piezo), not one next to it.
"most guitars don't have pickup's in the bridge" now let me tell you why that's bull shit

its funny how he has the neck PERFECTLY straight, should always have some relief on the neck, should always have a VERY VERY VERY slight bow.
yep, me too...
No wonder why it's cherry painted
It's called a piezo pickup..
Special thanks to Roberto Godin for the filming in his factory..

now i know why guitars are so freakin expensive.
floating bridges my arch enemy
thank god someone posted these videos because now i sorta know how to apply lacquer and how to buff
Dress the frets and then straighten the neck. Haha

That's what I was thinking, usually you straighten the neck then level the frets 🙂
why didnt they follow a company that actually makes good guitars??
Nicholas Godin is actually pretty good.

He didn't play scales, that's a "spider" exercise.
Lol, i never heard of a guitar WITHOUT a bridge pickup, its the middle pickup that doesnt have on most guitar...
@ynon1 That's why I like companies like Gibson. I'd rather have someone that's a guitarist and knows what guitarists like make my guitar.
@ynon1 I don't know if you were joking, but lutherie is a very precise field to work in. You must know how to play to build one.
@ynon1 it only sounds like beginner crap because they are just testing the neck
unless that guy really is a beginner :S
because when they first install it it needs to be set before the pressures added. because the neck hasnt been used yet
@ynon1 the narrator obviously doesnt know what he's saying. ima guess the others just lie playing with woodshop
yep . The nut is made of bone , so that it has a better sustain . Except for Floyd Rose which is made of metal :).
@demonwx10 Depends if you get custom made stuff =P most expensive strings ive seen are like 30 dollars a pop
that is NOT holy wars. Neck through body guitars are better
@deathhoundpack i know lol it was a joke cause it sounded kinda like holy wars
nope. just chromatic scales
Does anyone know what electronic music is playing beginning at 0:20 and where do I get it?
2:45 standard guitars dont have bridge pickup? almost all guitars ive seen have a bridge pickup
@FacebookChicano What kind of come back is that? At least I don't think strings cost $60
@laskjghlksjghlakjshg i think he mean like inside the bridge like piezo pickups :)
I WILL SACRIFICE MY OWN LIFE FOR PAKISTAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@person12345678912341 Try hitting the strings.
Thumbs Up if you felt like a smartass because you knew all that already!
the neck shouldnt be exactly straight, it should have a slight bow
it isnt gibson cuz the logo isnt like that but it may be godin.
How the hell did leo fender do all of this by hand at his job.
Fun fact: electric guitars are like regular guitars, except they're electric
does this guy get 2 keep all the stuff he makes? kool!
@Jocke337 nope, they have machines carving the body
@Xyzd95 because it says "Gibson" on the Headstock.
@OfficialAxid I know lol it was a joke
B.c. Rich pwns lol no other guitars are better
@kaymay12345 nah, carvin is higher quality
the person talking sounds so bored
well they make them we dont ....
in the 1. part guitar was blue!
@demonwx10 No, but you are ZiNG
1:25 good I don’t want a gay guitar😂
coooool
Oldest video i found
What kind of guitar is that?
wow didnt know curing time for the finish was so long!!!!
i wouldnt like to be the guy installing everytthing..... one slip and all that curing time wasted LOL

@Adayam actually hes testing the frets of fret buzz xD
yea i think it is a godin
iwhen he started playing his first notes at 4:55 hahahahahhahahahaha. i bet he wanted to rock hard but he rather not bust his first made guitar lol
@mattluvsvox921 Most guitars do have a pickup at the bridge and the acoustic like sounding pickup is the mid or neck pickup i believe HE doesn't know
@Stivsh and for metal

@tango616 when the neck is constructed, it actually has to be perfectly straight. The slight bend comes when you tension the strings.
@iloveitsoeffinmuch the ones used when the guitar itself is made yes. the ones you replace it with no
Guys, he's playing the chromatic scale to check if any note has fret buzz.
Can you believe that? You buy the damn thing! lol
Anyway these are highprice guitars for sure!
am pretty sure hes just playing some chromatic scales -_- doesn't even sound like holy wars
This was amasing i was aspost to do a project on this 2 weeks ago but this taught me almost everything...I have a feeling im gonna do good :p
godin
yeah, definitely talking about the piezo. It was strange to hear though at first!
Cool vid bro I have a replica telecaster but idk how to play it sum1 help ppz
good electric guitar stings are wound nickel not steal.
It's the Ghost Pickup System produced by Graphtech Labs. It works just as the narrator says.
@vuthinjuks yea thought thats what he ment few mins after posting the comment :P
A lot of work.. But it worth it! cool!
godin is a french canadian guitar company. great guitars
ya!! I want to be one of the electric guitar factory worker!!!!!! XD
@imadey0utube Of course xD we saw on this video xP
he play holy wars by megadeth at the end xD
All that work just to get smashed XD
4:29 I WANT THAT SPECIAL ADAPTER!
i bet its the worst sand paper
@imadey0utube hahahahaha
Vibrato or tremolo....
i thought it was metal o_0
did he say the nut is made of bone?? 1:48
Yes.
Yes
I was just joking....
Pretty cool, actually.
mmm used guitars!!
2:46 What?!?!?!?!?!
No.he didn't -.-
0:05 A MANGET? lol
Wait, maybe not...
awesome job
lol
GODIN GUITARS? Looks like another FENDER imitator...2me
+Rigo es Amor godin guitars are pretty good. i had the opportunity to play a nylon string acoustic. it sounded pretty awesome.
+Rigo es Amor It's because How It's Made is based in Quebec and Godin is a Canadian company
Pashow
ahh makes sense...thx
+Rigo es Amor almost twice the price, I am sure they are nicer than a stock fender!
WHY EVERYBODY PLAYS SCALES WHEN IT'S TIME TO CHECK THE GUITAR????
Late response but it helps with checking for fret buzz.
dude does anybody know how i can get a job like that? making guitars fora living?
