    Cardboard Chaos is here and it’s time to riff on a new idea! Rock out with your cardboard stock out! This episode we work with a master builder at the Fender Custom Shop to see if paper has the ability to handle the look, feel and sound of one of the world’s most recognizable guitars, the Fender Stratocaster. A master builder can make just about anything look good, but will it sound good? Will it have tone and will it be able to handle the heat and get approval from one who rocks for a living in one of the most ass kicking bands of the last two decades, Linkin Park?! It’s a tall order and with roughly 250lbs of torque put on the neck of a guitar from the strings - We have ourselves a challenge and some Cardboard Chaos! Check out the cardboard skateboard and surfboard here: signalsnowboards.com/shows/car...

      IMO Brad is an amazing guitarist, but not for the same reasons I think someone like Slash is an amazing guitarist. Brad can seamlessly fit his guitar work into the flow of the songs, it makes the songs feel unique even though the riffs aren't amazingly complex. One of my favorite examples of this is Hit the Floor...its the easiest fucking song to play on this planet yet it goes so damn well with what the rest of the band is doing and it sounds amazing because of the effects he uses. At the end of the day he's more of a craftsman - trying to make everything fit INSTEAD of making it stand out with the exception of a bulk of the hunting party and this song where he tries something different yet still keeping his roots in the form of simple, yet effective, riffs and in this case solos.

      To me it's not so much the wood type, it's the density and weight. Some woods are just more dense, leading to it being heavier alot of the time, and sometimes you can compare the same wood type and it could weight alot less or much more. Out of my 19 guitars, the heavier ones have the better tone and sustain than the lighter ones. Like I have a RG920 (it's a 6 string) and it's reallllyyyy heavy for a 6 it weigh's more than most of my 7's (only one beats it and it's a neck through) and it's tone and sustain beats the crap out of my RG927 (which is basically the same guitar with an extra string. Same trem, same pickups, same body wood, same wood on the fretboard). The only difference is the neck wood combination. I've even upgraded to a fat brass block to try and beef up the tone, but it still is not comparable with the RG920.
      And that neck through I mentioned earlier is a tone MONSTER, it's an Agile. I've never played a guitar that handles high gain so well, and it will keep a note forever. It's as heavy as all of my 8 strings except 1, and that's a fat hellraiser. Yeah, my back might be screwed later in life for actually liking a heavy guitar, but it's soooooo worth it lol.

      Why are you so stuck on epoxy or resin? When something is made of carbon fiber, we call it carbon fiber. but reality is the carbon fiber is the underlying cloth. It only gets stiff and strong from the resin used. Big deal. There is a coating of something in impregnated in the cardboard fiber. It's very clear to see the difference in color between when they first start putting together the grid pieces, and when the shop is milling and sanding the body shape. There is definitely something there to make it more rigid.

    • @terrypussypower

      Well from the brief experience i've had, most "rockstars" have NOTHING on the top technicians at most big brands factories! they actually recruit people! There's a little story i heard once that some dude at gibson australia smoked the hell out of petrucci and he bowed to the guy afterwards xD. Rockstars are only more famous, there's so many people in the world and there's a bunch of everyday guitarists that are fucking amazing! They just don't have the crowd around them all day =)
      At the end of the day, it's not a competition. Music is so personal it doesn't even make sense to compare. I really dislike people who treat such a rich environment like a rank ladder.

    • @martincote7000
      @martincote7000 Před 8 lety +22

      You're totally right my friend. Music should never be a competition (f**k show like America's Got Talent) but if we talk on a technical standpoint, that tech seems freaking on point.
      But then again, if you're not a musician, it's harder to appreciate music on a technical standpoint. Even though I like Linkin Park, especially when I was younger, they got nothing on a band like Dream Theater for exemple.
      Its basic pentatonic riffing in 4/4. But hey, I never said it sounded bad and the proof is that LP is way bigger than DT. So who am I to tell one is better than the other!

      I've played guitar for the last 7 years, haven't had time to keep up in the last 3 though so i've deteriorated a bit. But dude you name it, sweeps alternated tapping improvisation, i could do all of that stuff, but spend a couple weeks without training and poof, gone. trying to get it back wth one free hour a day is being tough. I had a little band playing mr. big covers for a while back then i was the shit! But yeah, most of the stuff people who aren't musicians think is amazing and "it must be impossible to play that" are things any normal student can do in a 2 year practice method, and is actually staple of the method. I've come to really apreciate people who are versatile and understand various genres profoundly that is sooo hard, and it takes so much hard work to be able to do it's not even funny xD.
      I really liked LP in the early years, they changed and i didn't follow through, just like with RHCP, another band i love to death. But it's their style right. Anyone can play pentatonics and simple improv or play a learned riff that sounds cool. Takes a real artist to compose something beautiful that takes al their self to play, that's what i value in music. Doesn't really matter your skill level if you can make something with all your heart, i will always respect it. i mean sure i like dream theater and Paul gilbert racer X stuff, but i guess there's a reason i alwas keep coming back to hendrix, iomi, john frusciante, buckethead, i really love their stuff because it's got so much feeling in it. DT started sounding a little robotic for me after a while, just like iron maiden, amaazing at first, it's like a well oiled machine, but after a while it just seems they're going on automatic mode. =)

      The guys in the factory probably know more scales and chords since they are testing the guitars all up and down the neck, plus they probably tune the thing before hand, which many rock guitarists can't seem to get. :-)

      Tone wood is important on acoustic instruments. It's more of a marketing ploy on electrics. People have made electric guitars out of solid metal, acrylic, etc. and they sound fine. The scale-length, type of pickups and placement of pickups are all much more important to the tone produced than the body material.

      Probaply not, since a normal strato is metal plastic, the carbord one has many air holes. They should be around the same weight, but i assumer the carbord is 1 either lighter because of the holes, or 2. is heavier because it is compressed carbord which is like wood with holes.

    • @finisanerd

      One, as opposed to polished wood, I imagine a corrugated card neck is not the most comfortable thing to play, probably a bit rough on the palms.
      And two, seeing how awful that action was, he probably guessed that it wasn't the most sturdy instrument, and didn't want to play the shit out of it, in fear of breaking it, while they were documenting their apparent technological magnificence. That would be a bit embarrassing.

      Yeah probably. I don't think you quite understand the fact that the builders are some of the best luthiers to ever live. Most of the master builders there have been crafting guitars 3x longer than you have been alive. I mean these are the guys that litterlay saved fender after the shit show also known as CBS ownership. So yeah they probably can write some pretty memorable stuff
