The texture left on the outside by the foil tape made it look like a block of ice. I am sure you could come up with another great guitar that looks like a chunk of ice.
Turning ai slop into actual, functioning art. You literally make this world a better place. I also feel like working on my own art and writing whenever I watch your videos. Simply incredible, hardworking, inspirational.

Glad you know better than to put fish in it and sorry about the shrimp. May they rest in peace. It's a very fun concept, very whimsical. Would love to see an update on how the plants are doing in the future!
That turned out great. RIP shrimp - but hopefully you can try again. I wonder if you could make a plug that would seal off the top access port. It would just need to seal enough to reduce splashes when moving the guitar for a demo play/ maintenance and putting it back on the wall.
13:37 Sometimes...not all the time...just SOME times. There are moments that catch you off guard and you smile and feel wholesome. I caught myself smiling here.
You have a very unique way of having an unusual idea, then seeking the means and methods to acquire that vision. Keep up the excellent work! Immediately liked. Let's go!
While not practical by any means, I love the commitment to keeping it functional rather than just a gimmicky art piece. It could also be the perfect candidate for a Submarine pickup in a future follow-up.
Poor shrimp. It's almost funny how they all just got sucked up, though. Like they were fine and then all just wandered too close to the pump and that was it. Have you thought about adding any moss balls to the tank? Very nice aquarium, though! Glad you weren't tempted to color the resin. I thought when you were talking about the playability, you were joking, and then cut to you actually playing it full of water and plants and substrate! Commitment to the bit if I ever saw it! And it actually sounds good! Great job!
it really rocks that this isn’t something you just set up for a video. you gave the plants inside what they need to survive and even the most basic effort goes a long way
A working tv guitar. Get the super guitar bros to play some final fantasy songs on it while someone paying the game on the guitar screen. This guitar build is amazing btw. All your stuff is super good
Dude. You're crazy. In a good way, of course. Of all the builds you've done, this is by far the most outlandish one in terms of creativity, vision, and improbable combinations of worlds. An aquarium guitar. Go figure! Thanks for sharing your mad genius with us, Burls. I look forward to the next one!
Very cool. I assumed we were talking about a clear guitar body that looked like an aquarium with a resin pour over aquarium decor. Can't believe you included a power head! Awesome.
it all started with those colored pencil guitar builds and i watched all those and now we have this aquarium guitar. Sick man. Your creativity is out of this world
You’ve clearly been working on your guitar skills as well! I was surprised how much better the guitar sounded with the body filled with water/soil/plants.
Just when I think you can't possibly do anything more wild and impressive, you do it. I absolutely love your work sir. Also the aluminum tape texture on the epoxy was kinda cool it looked like ice!
I was thinking that if it was mounted to a stand, away from the wall, you could just reach over it and play. You just know that visitors are going to want to hear it. Awesome job, again.
It is always a pleasant surprise whenever I see one of your videos pop up. This is incredible! I'm not sure if this is possible, but if you did a fake aquarium and filled it with the epoxy. Giving it the appearance of an aquarium, but less of a challenge to play. All in all, this is amazing, and your explanation of the experience is fantastic.
Awesome stuff man i build guitars and this just made me smile the whole video. Thanks broski! Terrarium guitar and any farm guitar would be killer!! Have a wall of guitars with life in them!
I love this! I love all your guitars and videos but this is just amazing! I worked at PetSmart for a few years and I love that you know your stuff too about how to care for the animals and plants! Best guitar lol
Many years ago I stumbled upon a band called Brother and Sister and their website showed odd guitars one of them had built. One of them was what I think they called the Ant Farmitar. It was an acrylic body with some kind of algae-based gel in it where ants could live and tunnel without other food or water and the gel was said to be able to retain their tunnels even through playing. This build reminds me of that.
It's really cool! Perhaps you could make a plug for the top to reduce worries about spillage when you want to use it as a guitar. I'm sure it wouldn't detrimentally affect the plants for the reasonably short time you'd be playing it. Just a thought. You're so creative, you've probably already thought of that.
The maintenance on this tank will eventually make you take it down, mark my words. The stem plants you chose grow extremely fast, but the carpeting plant will do you in eventually -- it will cover the entire substrate floor, and since the stem plants will be so thick it will be impossible to trim. Eventually the carpet will get so thick that it will block light to the bottom, which will then die, and the whole carpet will float to the top. Also, no livestock = algae explosion
You do not disappoint! Amazing build. I’m not an expert either, but there are for sure fish that would be fine in that small of a tank. Beta for sure could do it, maybe tetras? It would be worth researching.
You should tune it open C
underrated comment!
Sometimes drop C
If you made that up yourself, congrats. Love it.
OP have my babies that was 🤌 *chef's kiss*
Absolutely
Now we need a TERRARIUM GUITAR
I really like this idea, and it could be designed either vertically or lefty to be different from the aquarium guitar ( and maybe a spider)
a big antfarm :P
you could do that with this one.
Yes
A closed terrarium guitar would be pretty cool
Like one of those jar ecosystems?
@@DarthCiliatus Yeah
Yooooo YES

Here I am unable to make a guitar out of wood from trees.
pretty damn dope! Big props for not putting fish in it! Some seriously nice playing as well!
we need a "hp" review on this.
Two Burls Art videos in two weeks? Awesome!
The texture left on the outside by the foil tape made it look like a block of ice. I am sure you could come up with another great guitar that looks like a chunk of ice.
like a black ice guitar! oml that would be amazing
RIP, little shrimpies.

Honestly, it's the best way to use that kind of AI, as just a way to do quick and dirty visualization of what something might look like.

Now you have the experience for a ship in a guitar bottle build! Nicely done.
"I whipped up a quick maple and rosewood neck. Nothing special." LOL
Glad you know better than to put fish in it and sorry about the shrimp. May they rest in peace. It's a very fun concept, very whimsical. Would love to see an update on how the plants are doing in the future!
I subscribed this account more than a year ago. I still haven't seen a bad guitar
Just the opposite, when I think that the next project cannot be more crazy, he just delivers it! 😀
Didn't expect you to play it at the end and so well. Much respect.
That turned out great.
RIP shrimp - but hopefully you can try again.
I wonder if you could make a plug that would seal off the top access port. It would just need to seal enough to reduce splashes when moving the guitar for a demo play/ maintenance and putting it back on the wall.
That walnut piece holding the pickup is the perfect tonewood for this project, it gives the right warmth and roundness to the tone.
Gotta love that tone water. Really emphasizes the deep end, but still so clear 😂

This is by far the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen. This immediately took me back to when I watched the show, Tanked
I had the same thought!
it really rocks that this isn’t something you just set up for a video. you gave the plants inside what they need to survive and even the most basic effort goes a long way
17:50 plants must be mind blowed. They landed in the coolest tank ever.
Shrimp were literally blowed too😂
Oh Dang, perfect timing, and first time I’ve been right here for a Burls Art upload. Can’t wait to see the result!
A working tv guitar. Get the super guitar bros to play some final fantasy songs on it while someone paying the game on the guitar screen.
This guitar build is amazing btw. All your stuff is super good

This is one of the coolest builds you've done. Very nice!
Dude your patience and level of detail is incredible. I'm so impatient whenever I attempt to build something. It's great to watch you work
The playing demo really has that drip. Super fun build!
We're obsessed with this build! Amazing work!
Very cool. I assumed we were talking about a clear guitar body that looked like an aquarium with a resin pour over aquarium decor. Can't believe you included a power head! Awesome.
That is the most rockin aquarium ever! We truly admire your art and guitars! Thank you for sharing!
it all started with those colored pencil guitar builds and i watched all those and now we have this aquarium guitar. Sick man. Your creativity is out of this world
Poor shrimp :( awesome project though!
Is it just me, or has even your playing gotten much better? Great job!
Always a pleasure to watch you build these ideas into reality. Bravo.
You make really inspiring musical instruments. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I think adding a blue led strip around the top edge would be a nice touch.
You’ve clearly been working on your guitar skills as well! I was surprised how much better the guitar sounded with the body filled with water/soil/plants.
Awesome work man. You should do a version with fake plants and fish and epoxy it solid so you can actually play it, like a aquarium diorama guitar.
I have a feeling that you get these types of ideas when you are in the shower or sitting in the toilet!! amazing work!!
Well done for keeping posting the mistakes. That's the bit that helps us all
Just when I think you can't possibly do anything more wild and impressive, you do it. I absolutely love your work sir. Also the aluminum tape texture on the epoxy was kinda cool it looked like ice!
This is absolutely incredible. An aquarium and a playable guitar is something i never thought would exist until now. 👍
Dooooode!!!! This is the best! I love aquariums and guitars! Great work!
Always love watching your projects come together!
I was thinking that if it was mounted to a stand, away from the wall, you could just reach over it and play. You just know that visitors are going to want to hear it. Awesome job, again.
Dude this is awesome. And you played it whenever it was full!
Imagine being this rich, creative, and talented
I never thought I'd hear the sentence "you don't want to spill your guitar"
Dude, this is unbelievably amazing!
So many people would buy this if it was a buyable product. Insane idea to reality, can’t wait for the next build🤙🏼
So impressive! Fantastic looking piece. I reckon you should do the foam screen addition and put in a couple of neons.
It is always a pleasant surprise whenever I see one of your videos pop up. This is incredible! I'm not sure if this is possible, but if you did a fake aquarium and filled it with the epoxy.

When I saw the title I was worried about potential fish... But damn you showed me!! Gorgeous tank, love the planting and it's playable!
Awesome stuff man i build guitars and this just made me smile the whole video. Thanks broski! Terrarium guitar and any farm guitar would be killer!! Have a wall of guitars with life in them!
Looks and sound cool, great job
As an aquarist, I love everything about this
I love this! I love all your guitars and videos but this is just amazing! I worked at PetSmart for a few years and I love that you know your stuff too about how to care for the animals and plants! Best guitar lol

Most people: My 9 pound LP is too heavy.
Burls Art: I'mma play a 20 pound fish tank.
Amazing art project. Keep up the amazing work.
Any bass player would be perfectly content with that weight.
imagine being a shrimp in the tank and suddenly having your whole habitat lifted up and start vibrating

Cool musical piece at the end
This channel is one of the best out there
The sound and the look is amazing!!!
Wow the tone doesn't sound bad at all, you figured out how to solve the issues of plexiglass guitars.
This is 100% the coolest thing you made until now
Sorry but this is one of the best sounding guitar in terms of vibes you made (sounds realy fun to play)
Dude! You are One very talented man in many aspects!
Pretty awesome wall art!
Always here for the demo day

Best sounding aquarium ive heard! And oh yea it looks fantastic too!
What a great body choice for the aquarium!
Omg you killed the shrimp!!!
That's awesome dude. Great imagination.
those shrimp experienced finding nemo irl except instead of escaping into the sea they died in a water circulator
Cool functional art.
This is unbeleafable! Time to turnip the volume!
Gives new meaning to "neck dive."
This is amazing! I guess there is no creative peak for this guy. 👍🏻
My fav part of youtube. Great work!
This is your most beautiful build to date!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing the process!!
That guitar is nothing less than beautiful
Unbelievably cool
Man you are an amazing artist and one hell of a craftsman!
coolest thing ive ever seen
WOW
Another great vid She looks awesome and sounds nice also.
Thanks so much Burls Art 🫡
Great to hear it played without water!
Bro, you're so talented
Huge amount of talent!..Great job.
This one better get over a million views this is insane
You could always add some of those robo-fish. They kinda fit the vibe.
You do not disappoint! Amazing build. I’m not an expert either, but there are for sure fish that would be fine in that small of a tank. Beta for sure could do it, maybe tetras? It would be worth researching.
I bet Masayoshi Takanaka would love this.
