I love how tasteful your guitar playing is. A lot of guitar demos just shred or play rock/blues riffs you've heard a million times. So this is refreshing.
the first ever guitar I tried to build was a disaster. The routerbit pulled in the neck, cut into it, Tried to fix it, couldn't. The 2 pieces for the body were not jointed at a right angle, when I glued it up, it was bowed, I got so angry, just broke the damn thing in half. Now I'm much more careful
This is one of the best salt-guitar builds I've ever seen. Definitely in the top 5. WAY better than so many other salt guitars. Especially the mass-produced ones.
@@TheXComputerXDr bro the acoustics of salt? if building a guitar out of coffee, recycled plastic, colored pencils, or any other various things had minimal effect I doubt clear coat is gonna ruin the tonality of his salt

I bet after having made one he'd be able to make a second with slight improvements. Perhaps epoxy on both sides, all holes drilled super slowly, figure out some solution for the neck joint being flakey. But regardless it'd still be super fragile.

Hi Jesus. Remember when you said this? Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.”
I swear to god there is gonna be a day that this guy makes a guitar out of pocket lint, a gumball and a quarter lol. This dude is pretty awesome and is showing us that you can make a guitar out of practically anything
As someone with a family history of high blood pressure, 50 lbs of salt is a nightmare. But as someone who collects rocks and is learning guitar, this is a dream.
@@PimScotney like he said eh, it's more a wall hanger than a player, his channel is called Burls Art after all. Be interesting to see how resilient it would be if the while thing was epoxied. It might start to delaminate as it did in other areas.
If it’s kept in a humid environment I believe it will “leak”. my salt lamp leaked in our humid bedroom. Edit: Honestly. Put it in a air sealed box and call it art.
Finnally a real artist on youtube, not one of those foney wannabe internet designers. But true craftsmanship and a creative heart! Very very good! Subbed.
Why didn’t you seal the salt on the front and sides as well? Even rattle can spray lacker would work and then keep the finish from crapping out. Not a critique, I barely know how to hold a guitar, but I know salt draws humidity out of the air and into itself.
What an eclectric guitar is made of, doesn't affect how a recording sounds. A guitar effects the sound you hear. Because the sound coming off the string bounces off it. Pickups however are not microphones. They do not detect sound. The sound makes no difference. A pickup is a magnetic field that detects the strings movement directly. Nothing about the body affects that to any degree any modern instruments can measure. Much less, to a degree your ears can detect.
@@Wylie288 I agree with you except for one thing. The body can determine how long a string will resonate translating to longer sustain. Other than that the actual tone won't change.
FYI this is pink Himalayan salt... commonly used for grilling meats on bbq's, or in my case, building guitars.
It's not rock salt? |m| -_- |m|
