I Built A Furry ZZ Top Guitar! - Starting With A DIY Kit I Got On Ebay For $129

- In this video I go on a wild ride and decide to build a furry ZZ Top Explorer from a guitar kit I bought on Ebay for $129. I really had no idea how I was going to pull this off and the end results came out pretty awesome in my opinion. It took a lot of strategy and MacGyger instincts along the way. This guitar is a tribute to the the ZZ Top Eliminator guitars made famous in the band's videos from the early 80's. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!!

Finding the bunghole of a cat, I'm dying! 😂😂😂
Marty looking through the fur for the holes... Remind anybody else of prom night? Just me? Ahhhh. It was the 80's.
lol! And late 90's too 😂😂
Turned out great...ZZ Top ... That will definitely get a lot of attention at a Gig... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶
Oh yeah! I'm sure. It's mostly a conversation piece. Fun stuff!!
Interesting point you made about it being an art project as much as a guitar build. The rev Billy attended the Warner Brothers' art school in Hollywood, California, when he was starting out. His cousin was art director Cedric Gibbons, for Samuel Goldwyn at MGM Studios......Now you know
Without EXPLORATION ……where would we be. Killer, I dig it
a little pro tip if you do something similar is to, spray both sides let it tack up a bit then push down, and sand both sides of the foam with that type of foam to get it to stick properly. it shouldn't have pulled up that easy when you where doing the bridge. I'm a auto upholster. great idea for a guitar, might have to try something liike this. great video
Been waiting for this to drop, not what I was thinking…. but even better! Way to go Marty
Thanks you dude 🎸😎🤟🏻
I still had a jar of that Gorilla Snot from like 1992. 😂 I gave to a guy last year who kept dropping his picks. I think the 92 Gorilla Snot was rock solid. 😂 was in my 89 Strat case. Marty love the ZZ Top fur guitar! Cool video man!
Haha!! Solid gorilla snot 😂
Now give it a drop test. The tuners look like Don King.
Now you need to build a harness so you can spin the guitar while you're playing. 🙂 Don't let any horny dogs near it now. lol
Don King tuners hahah! 😂
Awesome brother! 🤘 sounds like it has some grit!
These garbage pickups ain't bad hah! Thank you 🙏
I gotta say, was not expecting this 😂 But hey, makes for a great conversation piece.
It sure does lol
Looks awesome Marty, man I don’t know if you would be into it or not but if so would love to see some lessons on more Journey stuff, Still They Ride, Suzanne, Be Good To Yourself haha some of the deep cuts no one else does. Neal is my favorite player so I incorporate a lot of his style into my own. Be blessed brother love the channel.
Pretty cool Marty! We'll call it the Gibson Bath Mat!
Im afraid my penchant for freezer pops and drunken late night nacho cheese meals would have my version less-than-perfect in short order.
Now that caught me off guard wasn't expecting that reminds me of my teenage years back when MTV played videos 24-7 crazy build 😂
Heck yea! That is cool! You definitely were able to overcome some obstacles. I usually have less luck when it comes to construction like this, so you did well planning it out. Very cool video.
Thanks so much man!
Sweeeeeeet! Damm this is a fun vid, Marty! And Killer guitar! I guess I was right around 13 in '83 when Eliminator exploded. Actually... turned 13 in Dec of '83. So I would have been 12 during that whole year. And I think you and I are about the same age. Give or take a little. So yeah - those were fun times, and Eliminator was a game-changer for me, man. I obsessed over that one, and Afterburner, for probably 10 or 12 years. And it's still on my play list. Shave the hole. Gimme' All Your Luvin. Got Me Under Pressure. And even the oft over-looked Bad Girl. What a record! This is just so fun. Might need to look into this. My friends would love it. Rock on, Bro!
I like the muffy guitar, lol sounded awesome btw…
🎸🤓👍🗽
Thanks man! It's a pretty wicked furry beast!
LOL when you were trimming the fur between the pickups and hardware made me think of a Manscape ad for some reason.
Yeh man hahahaha. I went from veterinarian to manscape to Brazilian waxer on my mind all in like 30 seconds. Between filming I was just laughing so hard at times.
This is so ridiculously awesome. You have to fashion some sort of spinner on the back.
Thank you! Yes that would be awesome.
Great job brotha, your channel rocks!!!!
Thanks dude 😎🎸
lol. I had a feeling you would do this, when you said you didn’t care too much about the finish ….lol
Looks great, hopefully you don’t have pets who might wanna snuggle up to it…
Great job Marty
Thanks! I hope it doesn't get fleas 😂
Gotta use a stool swivel to spin the guitar for that extra bit of class...😎😎😎
Yes! Lol
That wireless transmitter will be invisible too. Cool project and sounds killer. I would limit to outdoor gigging, or it will turn yellow from cig smoke.
Very nice job!
Hey that thing sounds REALLY REALLY GOOD WOW
Thanks! I was kinda shocked myself lol 😂
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker i know for a kit you got that cheap,and those pickups are just amazing
Great guitar! Make sure you get a license for that thing, take it for walks, and get it food and water - well, maybe not water lol!!
Well done!!!!!
Thank you!
Oh wow, that's so cool
Pretty epic job
Thanks dude 😎🎸
Fantastyczny pomysł, rewelacja!
Thanks 😎
Fuck yeah! Got it on the second guess.
Over all..very nice job
Thanks!
Lol very unique and sounds great I bet a set of SD Invaders with 500k pots would sound even sicker dude also is that a Misfit tattoo on your arm and I got a black and white kitty too that photo bombs 😂
Not very practical, but, it looks so dam cool. To hell with practical, it's a rock guitar🤘
True that man! Lol
I am most impressed with the DIY guitar being playable and that glue holding. Very curious on the durability over time. Did you have any thoughts of using the gorilla adhesive for the fur along with leveraging the parts that are screwed down? Like have the pickup rings screw into the fur, etc? What a wild project. Enjoyed the video.
I have it a lot of though and decided gluing around the pups made the most sense especially for time. The birdge and tailpiece along with knobs and strap buttons are through the fur. I figured the foam would give it extra grip and so far so good. No lifting 😃🎸
Thumbs up for you Marty, thumbs down for waste of raw materials.
Are you sure your cat needed a shave?😂 I'm not a doctor! But I believe you can get help!😂😂 I love science! But Marty, you gotta draw a line somewhere! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks Marty 🤘 that was fun....??? 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
What are your band mates going to say when they ask if you're ready, and you say "just a sec, I need to brush my guitar first..."
Truth. Or if one of them gets fleas from the guitar 😂
Feeling like a vet looking for the hole 😂
Looks good Marty. Are you going to mod to make it spin???
Ok..after you maliciously got the foam on the guitar..again you should have used a card board cut out and layed it on top of the foam…then cut out your patter from the card board cut out to the white fur on top of the guitar with shears of a razor blade. Then fine tune the cut out marks with the shears or scissors to clean up the cuts a bit.
Cool. Next furry guitar I make I'll consider this. 🙏
You should name it the yeti.
Or Bumble from Rudolf haha
Do you think Gibson made those for them. Now you need the fuzzy bass guitar for a set.
I think some custom builde probably did. Never researched. I need to deep dive. 🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalkerI believe the original ZZ top fur guitars were built by Dean Zelinsky, founder of Dean Guitars.
Why didn’t you get a pair of shears and make a card board template first? Then you could use the template and outline the foam to that template first; cut out the pattern; then the last step..glue the foam to the guitar.
Not sure really
Guitar Dinkle Berry Prevention.... omfg
PS:: I hope you don't get fleas!!! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘
Well, you don't have to paint it.
😂😂😂😂😂
