building an icon

- Here's my story on how I built my dream guitar based on the iconic Veleno, which was used to record several tracks on Nirvana's In Utero. This is the guitar tone I've been absolutely obsessed with for the past 2 years and i'm excited to finally figure it out and share it with you. Hope you guys dig the vid!
You’re the most dedicated tone chaser I’ve ever seen. I appreciate you taking the time to share your projects and knowledge with the rest of the world. I vote the K headstock.
This dude and Nirvana Guitars are both all about the tones- tho Nirvana guitars is also about the guitars and gear, meanwhile this dude is all about that sweet tone
I was just gonna say that lol
Flip the K sideways so that it's symmetrical left-to-right when the guitar is held vertically. That will look better. Kurt played left-handed, so I think it would be cool if you put the left side of the K towards the top. It will read correctly for left-handed players. Since most players are right-handed, it will usually appear as a backwards K. That could be your logo. Alternatively, you could put Ks back-to-back, creating a kind of star shape. I think your last name could work for the brand name and the model could be "K". So, a Rash model K.
Maybe you could do the K forwards and backwards like a mirror since you are mirroring the guitar Kurt used.
Rash Guitars. I like the sound of that.
This is the guitar which defined Nirvana's sound. Thank you Aaron for making videos on this and entertaining our little group, well not so little anymore, but really thank you for doing this. That veleno sounds unreal, absolutely crushed it with this one.
Not really. Nevermind's quad tracking is far more defining of Nirvana's sound.
@@SurfingOnBrainwaveswell considering the fact that In Utero is nirvanas best produced most unique sounding record and what kurt said best represented Nirvana, it is what defines nirvana’s sound
well for most people the Nevermind album would be their go to, but since the In Utero album was Nirvana's last studio album, and the album the band themselves were the most happiest with in terms of the production, sound and songwriting I think it's safe to say it's the guitar that defined Nirvana's sound.
Thanks Mirata! I think regardless of what "defined" nirvanas tone, the sound of this guitar is the tone I've been chasing all this time and its really only that sound that interest me
I almost cried when i heard heart shaped box's distorted part, it sounds EXACTLY, we're so excited Aaron, we appreciate your job a lot, thanks for making this videos. I personally like most the K, it would feel more iconic
We waited for a long time, but it was all worth it. I like the K headstock and also the second one, but prefer it without the heart. So excited to see those other revisions and looking forward to buying one of these.
Always a good day when Aaron posts
No coincidence the waterjet machine is called Kurt😂
It's a sign. But it's technically not a waterjet cutter, it's a CNC which is watercooled. Also it's only the bracket which is called Kurt, not the machine.
Jajajajajaj🤣
Hahaha I've had a lot of weird Kurt stuff happen to me over the past two years when it comes to guitar
@@sampledude8846 thanks for that information. I'm not at all familiar with these types of machines! Regardless, it was a fun coincidence.
@@AaronRashhey mr rash, i recommend trying a squier bullet mustang on your rape me tone, it’s not quite the same but it’s unique and sounds quite nice!
The K neck design looks amazing. If you do the second design, do it without the heart, it’s more clean.
definitely better without the heart imo
i was thinkin the same thing
Bro read my mind
Noted!
Okay the acoustic test is what sold me. Even unplugged it's extremely familiar to the record
Oh my gosh that distortion tone was amazing! Definitely would want to buy one of these in the future! For headstock design, i personally like the K design the best. Keep going Aaron, and rock on 🤘
oh WOW- Hello Aiden Gallagher. Did not expect to see that- and I love these things! I actually only learned that these guitars existed from this channel
2nd headstock with a "K". either way, I'm so excited for you! thank you for allowing us to go on this journey with you, even if it's just a snippet of what you do.
Brilliant Aaron! Can't wait for the rest of the story. I like the heart, but the "K" looks like a grunge guitar.
Hi Aaron, I think you don't realize that you've become a guitar God for some of us 😜 The fact that you've managed to bring us that much knowledge and now the possibility to buy your version of the Veleno and get that sound is just astounding. The sound of my bands next album is going to be so influenced by your discoveries, thank you so much.
Talking about your guitar's design, I think that I would like the shape of the one that had a heart on it but with the K. I hope I'm not getting so easily-scared but I have a three years old daughter and the shape with the spike seems so dangerous 😅
this^
Thanks Aaron, that's a great work as always!
I had the opportunity to thank Steve when I met him in 2019. He came to play with his band Shellac in my town so I could talk with him after the show. He's a great guy and a very nice person, so easy and down to earth. He kindly signed my In Utero vinyl cover and we took a selfie, what a great moment 😋Actually that picture ended in an article wrote by Hank Harrison in a free magazine, I have to make a video about that story!
Can't wait to see that guitar in action! I thought you guys have written "Kurt“ on the machine at first but no, haha that is cool.
We love you Kurt, our lives won't be the same without you for sure...
Keep up the good work Aaron!
Cheers from France
Duuuude this is rad!!! So glad to have been here throughout the whole journey because this has been FASCINATING, personally I like the heart headstock but like that’s personal bias, design wise the K looks the best, keep doing what you do Aaron, making awesome content!
Thanks a ton!
finally, the wait is over🎉
The K design headstock would go hard asf 🤘
I like the 2nd Headstock, but with a K instead of a heart. I always loved the Univox headstocks. Can't wait to hear the finished product. I'm defo gonna buy one if the price is right. Keep up the good work Bro!
You are an insane person and I love it. I love your channel, all of your experimentation, and the depths you go to chase tone. Keep up the awesome work!
Initially I was 'K' for the headstock. But the thing I've learned I love so much about this channel (and others like it) is that you're just a dude somewhere, I'm just a dude somewhere, but I legitimately get pleasure in my life from watching your videos. We've never met, and yet you add something enjoyable to my life. I wish Kurt was able to find more pleasures in life than he did. So yeah, I vote for the
Definitely go with the K headstock it feels more iconic
K in Shield like white strat
You’re a legend bro. This is amazing! Your journey has been an incredible pleasure to watch.
My vote's on the headstock with the heart!
I’m diggin the heart design 11:04
The second headstock is awesome!
Finally a vid from my fav youtuber! Love your content keep up the good stuff!
I just love how much passion you put into this niche topic and go all out. I really wish I could try one of those special guitars
11:02 i love the K headstock , it is so unique, if you choose the heart i’d say incorporate another element like a K or angel wings (like the in utero wings angled to make a heart?) to make it stand out
I'd replace the heart on the 2nd design with a K. But its your design so I'm looking forward to seeing your choice. And great channel Aaron. A stand out channel in so many ways. Im keen to know on pre orders too. Thanks for your hard work and making something I'm excited to watch every uplaod.
I happened upon this channel and I have to give you huge props! I used to fall asleep to Nirvana. I enjoy the history behind the guitars and the sound that they make. Fascinating on the builds! Thank you
The one with the heart is super cool, 100% the way to go imo. Love your vids!
Fuck, that was awesome to see. Would love to snag one of these guitars if they're reasonably priced!
This has got to be the most unreal guitar channel that I've come across. I also definitely vote for the K headstock.
Man, every time Aaron uploads a video I rewatch it like 10 times, they're just awesome! Please upload videos more frequently! Also I think we all would like some covers with these guitars, like every one of them lol
Been waiting and waiting for this milestone!!
Congrats !
The K headstock looks badass! Love your videos man!! You're my favorite RUclipsr ✌️
Brother, I actually the same exact story for getting guitar, that's wild
Maaaaan what a project. Love what you're doing here. For the headstock: I like the second one without heart -- something more subtle perhaps like a couple lines cut into it, similar to the other aluminum neck you have.
The heart headstock absolutely slaps.
The second head stock looks the best I think!
Aaron, you are a huge inspiration to me man. I'm so proud of you and look forward to all your videos. I'd love to buy a guitar from you especially because I wanna get a nirvana collection together. The k neck looks awesome man!!
omg, that's really cool, such an amazing job, the guitar sounds incredible 🎸✨
I learned too much about guitars with you in this video Aaron 😎🎸🔥
Went looking for stuff on Frusciante’s Strat and found your channel. You’re an exceptional mind and talent, Aaron. Long live Aluminium…and I vote for the K not the heart.
Wow, thank you!
The heart one is coolest for sure
absolutely love the tone you're getting. thanks for putting in the work to satisfy all our obsessive nirvana fan needs. by the way, i hope you plan on releasing your own music. seriously can't get enough of it in your vids!
Your production style, the topics and your passion is very unique. Keep up that great work!
Aaron your a genius. I dig the heart, but if the guitar is a “Kurt” then I vote for the K headstock. And yes TY Steve!
Woah, thank you so much!!!
Thats awesome man!! Best Nirvana channel out there.
¡Es increíble que hayas construído las 4 versiones tú mismo! Dios, tu talento es espectacular 🤞
That's so cool
I really like the way it sounds
Congrats! So happy for u
very excited to get my hands on one of these
I freaking love this channel. You deserve millions of subs for sure!
Always top notch quality, new and accurate and fun information, and geniune curiosity and drive. I geniunely love you and your work dude, almost 2 years and you've already done so much for yourself and us. Can't wait for the sight dawg Thank You very much!!
my vote: heart headstock, or maybe incorperate a heart in the letter K ??
The K is quite poetic. I applaud your journey.
I'd totally preorder!! Second headstock is nice
I got so obsessed with your channel that I've been checking it every day since your last upload 'cause I was dying for the veleno video, it's finally here and I'm happy
btw I vote in the heart neck, that looks great
I think the heart headstock would look cool on the guitar
Worth the wait man. Great video
Really enjoying watching your journey! Hope to be able to buy one!
I've been cruising around youtube, watching random guitar videos and I thought to myself: what's that Nirvana sound enthusiast up to? RUclips didn't recommend this video nor did I check my subscriptions, yet here I am, one hour after video got released. Wanted to share this before clicking the play button.
Update: Wow, that's just nuts. Aaron, you're the man! And, K, definitely. Or, just a thought - the whole headstock could be heart-shaped ...
been waiting for this!!
Fuck yes!! been waiting for this one eagerly, guitar came out so good, keep up the videos dude! Much Love
wow that’s sounds insane! I would die to get one in the future, I definitely vote for the K headstock, thanks for the sick video Aaron 🤘🏻
This channel is so fun! 🎉 I like the heart headstock!
incredible
The Heart one is amazing. I hope that in the future I will be able to buy one of these in my home country (Russia) as well. I'm really amazed by your tone-chasing journey. And I want to thank you for letting us be a part of your journey and maybe get our hands on your lovingly crafted instruments.
You deserve way more subs man i wish you the best for the future and living in Seattle that's a dream for many musicians including me
I'm rooting for the heart and the design for the headstock, great work, it amazes me !
Great video as always
First off oh my god that sounds insane! That's exactly what I think the PERFECT guitar tone sounds like. I quite like the heart headstock design but I wouldn't say no to the "K". Your channel is genuinely amazing. You inspired me to play guitar when I was in a really dark and terrible time in life and you making me truly love guitar and Nirvana really saved me. I even bought a squire mustang as my first guitar so I could be like you lol. Thank you for this channel, for your hard work and your poor wallet that's created a truly unreal guitar tone. I would love to have one. Just please don't tell me they're 5K lol.
that k headstock looks kickass 😭😭😭
I LOVE the heart headstock design!
K for sure man, I want this guitar so bad!!
Brilliant, great video and effort!
Oddly enough I think if Kurt was alive, he'd really dig the heart headstock. I don't know, I guess, I just feel that's something Kurt would find cool in a way.
The headstock with the k looks sick
Amazing effort man, your channel is going to the moon :)
I cant wait to see how much these guitars and the engine pedal are gonna be!!! You're amazing bro. Thank you for all this information and helping me feel less crazy with how in depth I think about this stuff. I talk to some of my friends about guitar gear like this and they look at me like I'm nuts lol
Also...K design
That hi-flyer style head stock with the heart on it looks so cool. I can't wait for your website to be up. I just know its gonna be great.
I can't tell you how excited I was to see this in my recommended
also I vote the K headstock
You didn’t build your dream guitar, you built our dream guitar
Sounds soo good!!😳
The second headstock without the heart would be my pick.
Great video, I am excited for the future
the heart thing looks really cool :D
you got some inspiring passion to share, dude ! :) very cool, nostalgic MTv shirt ^^
thank you
Definitely the K. That one looks cool. Keep the top flat though. Like the other aluminum headstock. Not the spiky top.
I know it’s a silly question right now but ballpark, what do you think you’re going to charge for the final In utero version?
Amazing man, Nirvana's sound master. 🤘🏽
Your videos are great, really interesting stuff for us guitar nerds!
As soon as I saw the notification I clicked as fast as I could: awesome shit Aaron!!!!!
The one with the heart for sure!
i think the K design for headstock is pretty cool man, and holy shit what a journey that we all been seing with these tones and stuff
Heart head ! I'm from France and I definitely want to buy one of it ! Thank you for your videos !!
...i can so relate to this obsession... Thank you for this content
Rest in Peace, Steve Albini 😔🙏
Kurt with The K Headstock is what we need, superb video!
I must have one, it is so beautiful! I am so ready to buy and buildout this stunning guitar! thank you SO much for the time and research in on this!
Im thinking the Headstock a mix of both to cut down on the and sharp angles in the first "K" design and put a heart in the middle of it to match the curves of the body. Although 1st and 2nd headstock designs are both excellent.
Man.. you went on a DEEP dive. I never knew any of this and of course, you're right. It has a dobro quality in tone.
Oh dude!!! I’m stoked, we talked about this just a bit ago on the Albini vid about these guitars. Thank you
