crossbreed between a guitar and bird house. I like it 👍
lol, interesting point of view!
@@ScrapwoodCity О, йес, йес - ,, гёрл"!
Fun how this guy builds a guitar out of wood. Has got to sound good.

That sample play in the end was 🥶🥵🔥🔥
When your wife doesn't want you to buy another guitar:
mm widze że polak XD
I'm in this comment and I don't like it
then . Why do u marry . Complete your partial job and goal first😂
Jajaja thats rigth.,
*sells wife to some Puerto Rican guy, and buys custom shop strat* 😎
Almost no tools, recycled materials… Simply spectacular! I love it!
thank you

I've been watching your channel for 4 years and always find your builds inspiring.
I am very glad to hear that, thank you very much!
Yago 23's ruclips.net/video/F5u7XrT-BGo/видео.html
Fantastic of you to show people how to make one! I like the rough-and-ready finish, it's actually looks like it's been made by a resourceful "amateur" rather than a "craftsman".
Thanks. I think I belong to the second category anyway! :)
WOW... after building many Cigar Box Guitars with cigar boxes and with license plate and self built cases this project keeps jumping into my mind.. i think i will do this little guitar my friend because it seems to be so fun to build with ready available wood and fun to play too.. thank you for your inspiration .. Hi from Italy
Nice to hear that. Thank you
0:24 Wow, this man is really fast at work
Yeah dude, imagine if you speed up the video... Woah it could ve even faster!
If anyone is gonna comment, its sped up... I'll be saying this in advance
R/whoosh
@@klarenzcobie6595 ha ha brilliant
r/wooooooooooosh
Its fake! He cant actually work that fast he just speed it up!
That was lovely, Dimitri! I have made a couple of cigar box guitars and three stringed strumsticks, but even if I fret them diatonic I can't play them nearly that well. Sounds very pleasing for being made from such humble materials. Brilliant!
Thank you very much my friend! :)

I always wanted to do something similar in childhood.
Same
Tbh I think it’s just cheaper to get a cheap electric
This instrument should be on a shirt of coffee mug. This video is in your top 10 best. Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much
After seeing this, I built a CBG with 1/8th" maple frets. The darn thing actually plays. What fun!
nice to hear that!
Him: *needing to perfect the frets*
Me: *laughs in fretless*
XD nice comment!
Hahah, that's awesome, I'm about to make a fretless guitar
as a guitar player, this hurts my eyes.
as an artist, this brings joy to my soul.
Lol! Nice
I love how you have the time to build and practice that
It's now 02:29 in the morning and as soon you started playing this i have a huge beaming smile on my face i am happy!!
Thank you
If you could tune those dollar store guitars and make them sound good, that's what this sounds like. Super cool! You are great at what you do. Keep it up!
2:30 just casually adds another hole to the table

I don't think he cares..when it gets ruined he biy a new plank and repair it.
Верни скворечник!
The birdhouse must be returned to the birds!
lol
Funny. 🤣
Hey that was old school SWC - the mitre box, the little plane, geometry. All that missing was the old music! And maybe Scrappy. Great job mate.
Thanks Mark, I guess going back to the roots is kind of vital sometimes!
Wow that's so simple but really nice, you played it really well too!
It sounds like a shamisen! I love it!
Awsome build! I love the sound of this guitar!
thank you!
Excelente vídeo y una artesanía fenomenal felicitaciones amigo desde Colombia en el sur de América.
Thank you
This guy actually pay attention to use basic tools in DIY that every one can build stuff. Very often there is DIY in title but build is carried out with proffesional machinery.
Love that there aren't any expensive laser-guided or specialty tools being used here.
Cool! Even the theme you´re playing in the end is very nice. Congrats!
A rectangular guitar. Sounds so good !
Thank you
Esta guitarra tiene un sonido mas hermoso que la otra, buen trabajo. Saludos.
I like the chunkyness of this! I am going to make a bombproof box instrument to keep in my gear, I like the way this sounds, and using wood frets is neat-o! Thanks!
H89
I know it was supposed to be a low buck build, but some aquila reds are like $8.99 for a four pack. Single most important part of the sound.
Great idea skills...love that you got intonation good and that last note of vibrato.
Vi com desconfiança o seu método construtivo, mas o resultado foi excelente!
thank you
Nice build. Somebody watches DiResta clips. This is a nice weekend project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
👏👏👏 looked forward to seeing/hearing you play your DIY guitar. 👍 Impressive! I liked the demonstration
. 😀
it sounds and functions like a shimesen
*shamisen
@@beesong2729 I refuse . To fix this because I'm just going to sleep it wrong again
Looks like one too in a way
theres just something deeply entertaining about sped up footage of someone using a hammer
I hope so. Thank you
You make it look so EASY ?!?!?!
Awesome job, mate. 👍
And a nice little sample at the end. 👌
Sounds great.
Thank you
Hello.
You can ask how the guitar itself is tuned. It's just that you inspired me, what would I do as a project for the school.
So what octaves should you tune your guitar to?
If you reply, thank you very much.
Μια κιθάρα καθαρά από scrap wood. Πολύ σε χαίρομαι όταν παίζεις με τις δημιουργίες σου !
Σε ευχαριστώ Βιβή
this is the only guitar that works i could find on the internet lol
Lol. Well, it definitely works
the video you did a while ago that was basically this is the thing that got me here. neat to see you do something different with it. i'm kinda blown away that wood frets actually work! :o
Thank you. Yes they seem to work fine with nylon strings
Οτι θα έκανες και μουσικό όργανο από παλέτα .... δεν το περίμενα !!!! Εξαιρετικό και πολύ όμορφο !!!!!!!!!! Τελικά είναι το σήμα κατατεθέν για σένα !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Σε ευχαριστώ Κατερίνα!
How long did this take to make?
Looked good while being made. Sounds great! 👍
thank you
A cigar box guitar without the cigar box. Neat.
Nice work on the box guitar Friend! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
thank you very much JP
Your very welcome Friend! Have a great week!😎
Best hand make guitar
Thanks for sharing! Really nice job! 🙂🙂🙂
Nice...very nice, thank you.
Most welcome
You had me until you put in wood fret bars...then you had me again when you played it.
It sure plays well. Well done
I guess it does the job. Thank you
What scale did you use? The one similar to bouzouki?
why you build your instrumets only with 3 or 4 strings?
So many people make with 6 and more, I follow the road of abstraction! And it is also easier!
Tu desempeño es muy bueno. Agradecemos sus explicaciones. abrazos...
Sounds lovely something like banjo.
He has no chance to become a luthier.he's the antithese.😄
True!
I agree as well!
Great use of hand tools.
Cool now you can play Scrap-wood City Limits on your new guitar
Very cool. You and Tim Sway are cool dudes.
wow nice job man
Thank you
Bravo Mastery...😊😊😊
Thank you
i made one as "solid body" looking like this one, got same sound :x
That's very good. Excellent work
Three pegs like a balalaika, very interesting!
Estupendo,magnifico trabajo...!!"👏👏👍
Thank you
Interesting choice of frets
what time of wood did you use?
επισης αλλη μια ερωτηση, γιατι εβαλες καβαλαρη απο μεσα η οτι ηταν τελος παντων? για υποστηριξη ισως?
Ναι για υποστήριξη στο βάρος των χορδών!
@@ScrapwoodCity ωραια ευχαριστω!
Ίσως δεν είναι απαραίτητο σε τόσο μικρό όργανο με τρεις χορδές, αλλά για να είμαι ασφαλής το εφήρμοσα!
@@ScrapwoodCity οκ ευχαριστω για την πληροφορια
Magnífic. The house of world. 👏👏👏👏😎🎸🎶🎶🎶
thank you
I actually do like this.
How is this little thing tuned? Just curious
amazing
thank you
Is the frets are made of wood?
GOOD WORK
Thank you
❤
Guitar? Seems like some sort of mutant ukulele/sitar hybrid! Nice! I like it, cool!
A man can work with his hands!
in which notes are the strings tuned
Sounds great
Thank you
what's the name of that sound u played in homemade ukulele
Can I build a 41 inch electric acoustic guitar with the same ish tools???????????
What exactly is the purpose of the bridge-like thing glued to the inside of the soundboard? I thought that would be the bridge but then you glued it the other way round
it provides extra support against string tension!
Ill do this right away and checkmate Davie 504!
Was anyone else shocked when he actually played it
Nice build & it has an interesting sound to boot! Well done SWC.............. :)
Thank you
Πολύ ωραίο φίλε μου! Να σε ρωτήσω κάτι, ο καβαλάρης πρέπει να πέφτει επάνω στην καμάρα (το ξυλάκι που βάζεις από μέσα στο 3:12), ή πιο πέρα, ή δεν έχει σημασία;
Εγώ δεν τον βάζω επάνω στο καμάρι. Ο καβαλάρης μεταδίδει τη δόνηση στο καπάκι. Πιστεύω ότι επάνω στο Καμάρι θα εμποδίζεται η δουλειά του. Αυτά με τη λογική μου. Δεν είμαι επαγγελματίας όργανο ποιος για να σου πω σίγουρα. Αυτό συμβαίνει και με όργανα που έχω αγοράσει.
What were the wood pieces on the inside of the guitar for?
The strings press down on the bridge, so you have to strengthen beneath that area.
Structure
In what tuning are those strings
Руки у тебя золотые.Мастер!
Very nice! Thanks for the fun video!
Thank you
But dose it djent?
What’s the melody or song your playing at the end?
Something I cane up with for the video.
What tools were used in this video? Not a specific brand but like what were those grips that he used his hands to clamp down on with? I wanna do this but I don't have any woodworking tools. What was that drill bit called too?
More info in the description of the video
@@ScrapwoodCity apologies
It's late
Единственная гитара которую я могу себе позволить)
Somebody knows which is the song/lick that he played at the end?
Interesting sound, thanks!
Glad you like it!
Guitar and crate hybrid
I like it
was this all done in just one day?
Why did you put the pieces on the inside of the box? I don't get it.
So the top can take the pressure from the strings. Otherwise it might warp over time.
@@ScrapwoodCity oh that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for replying.
