I made a guitar from spare parts and a 2x4

In this video I'm building a guitar using an old scrap piece of a 2"x4" wall joist without the proper tools for the job. Certainly plenty of opportunities for learning in this one!

[@cmdrerniepaul]

I have a 2x6 that I'm planning to turn into a guitar. Glad I saw this. Very educational!

[@bottleshipcaptain]

A 2x6 will probably be better suited to it than the 2x4. The board has already started warping due to the tension of the strings.

The bidding begins at 15k........After all it was handcrafted by a Captain Luthier! Yellow pine tone wood is the new hot thing!

[@bottleshipcaptain]

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. I’m actually tempted to put it up for auction just to see what happens lol. I mean people have paid more for less.

That song was dope

Thanks! I was a rockstar in an alternate timeline.

Brilliant

Thanks 🧐

[@colleenrivera506]

You beautiful bastard, you did it

[@bottleshipcaptain]

I was so preoccupied with whether or not I could, I didn’t stop to think if I should.

[@ranman58635]

I think you're parents are or were very proud of you growing up. The more wonky the better! You just broke the mold for some. Thanks for the laughs 😃

[@bottleshipcaptain]

Mold? You guys got a mold? I was just left to ooze into whatever shape I oozed into 😂

@@bottleshipcaptain , bwahhh! Naw, I didn't. I have met a few. I just figure if someone sees a nut such as youreslf build a guitar with no thought, they may get inspired and then...... and then..... gosh knows.

@@ranman58635 oh no! What have I done? I hadn’t considered the consequences!

@@bottleshipcaptain , I'm on the floor! Seriously, we need as much of this as you can pump out. I shared, this will be infectious! Still, the computer, is she OK? 😆

[@bottleshipcaptain]

She started getting too sassy so I put her on administrative leave lol. If there’s enough interest I can certainly bring her back.

i just finished my parts caster a few days ago it as 50s single coil and a seymour duncan black winter, cool song at the end
