In this video, I build yet another colored pencil guitar, this time a bass. Between this project and moving into the new workspace, it's taken me a bit longer than usual to upload. Everything should be back on track now that I'm getting settled in. Thanks!
The epoxy I used: (Use coupon code: burlsart15) www.totalboat.com/product/high...

Burls: "I switched out my bandsaw blade to a 1/4 inch blade. Thanks for noticing."
Me (having no idea what he's talking about): "Hey, no problem dude."
that's the joke
@@forkboy3309 I did notice the new rubber mallet.
@@forkboy3309 No shit lol
Yep that was the first thing I noticed and then the rubber mallet.
Why are you still down here?
The pencils in the fret markers is probably one of the sickest things I’ve seen
@Dominick Schwutke Well, it is the 3rd time he's built a guitar out of pencil crayons.
Agreed. Loved that next up a notch step
my worry is that they will wear much quicker than the rest of the fret board
Ya that was a slick idea
...and after playing mad long at a show your fingers are a work of art themselves.
As a Jamaican and a guitarist AND a natural bassist (bass being my first instrument) I love this build so much!!! One day I'd love to have my own workshop n build customs like you do!

“So as you probably noticed I made some changes to the workshop. I put a different nail into this workbench”
I know right? XD but he was probably joking xD
"I bought new screws, as you have noticed. They're right here, in this cabinet in this safe in this underground fallout bunker."
i thought the same thing
Arham 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Thanks for noticing."
You're the one 'CZcamsr' who I genuinely look forward to content from.
Next video , please consider ending every sentence with the phrase ,
" *If you disagree , stick a finger in your ass* !" .
Plus, Burl doesn't use the word "like" in copious amounts. His English alone is worth listening to, and then he builds friggin guitars from pencils.
How bout Davie504?
PeteZah Slice yes
Get better channels on ur feed then dumbo
Those colored pencil fret markers were a really nice touch! You make this look so easy.
Dude that is a sickest bass guitar I've ever seen in my life you definitely inspire me to do my own thing
You may not be thrilled with your own work, but I think it came out awesome and worthy of any guitar collection 👍
you should totally make a guitar out of guitar picks
Victoria Lozano oh my gosh that’s Genius
That would be so cool
A buddy of mine made a resin guitar filed with butterflies another filled with scorpions. That was in the 90s.
@@brandonbentley8532 Awesome!! Those must have been beautiful. I'm thinking of setting assorted nuts and bolts in resin for a tabletop in my living room. I'm a fabricator /mechanic by trade, so that might explain my inspiration. Resin is a really cool medium to work with, the possibilities are endless.
Victoria Lozano too expensive lol
Pfft
"You may have noticed a *huge* change in my set up. Yeap that's right I put a new blade on my handsaw."
Perfection.
*Bandsaw
Far from perfection...
woah woah woah.... Did you not see that rubber mallet???? That thing was intense
This is one of those times where living out of your parents garage is *completely acceptable*
What if it's his own garage?
me: doesnt read the title
him: puts 4 strings
me: um
Ferrets7 lol
Any guitar is just a strange looking 🅱ass
Die Bunny Skateboards EPIC

I swear if Crayola doesn’t sponsor you by now...
He using colored pencils, not crayons.
Jim Morris crayola makes colored pencils and markers too :)
@@willyoung3068 Well... I guess I'm a little too old to know that. I just remember them making crayons. I guess you do learn something new everyday. Thanks for that info.
DontListen ToMe 😂
@@willyoung3068 They just commented that they love his base on his instagram.
1:22 "You probably noticed some changes in my workshop. I changed my ban saw blade from a three-eighths inch to a quarter inch blade, thanks for noticing."
Me: yeah man that's definitely the most obvious thing I noticed right away.
band saw
This guy even said major changes😂
And he's got a new rubber mallet.
Griffin Webb oooo
He was so serious too lmao 😂
Oh it's very beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
That thing is beautiful, great idea to angle some of the pencils the way you did, gives it a trippy vibe.
Your April Fools video should just be you making a guitar out of wood like a normal person.
Lilbud 😂 love that!
Yes
or making a crayola out of guitars.
That wood be good
*normal luthier
You say you're not very good at building guitars/basses, but then do this
Seconded
because its not a guitar it is obviously a bass
How dare you call it a guitar
As a guitar builder, I would agree that he is not very good. They look great, but will not be good quality instruments. That is not what it is about for him though. These are more like art pieces
@@eggegg6187 chill, I play bass, I mean on the previous videos
Wow, pretty cool, back in the seventies I built a clear lucite guitar in my HS STL class (1974,75). I had no router, but did have a drill press, used rotary rasp bit to carve the various pockets. I made a few mistakes, one was that I didn't figure out truss rods correctly and I didn't think to carve out a couple of pockets to lighten the beast. Did a lot of shaping with rasp, neck curves and body reliefs. Mine was clear, took a lot of hand polishing to finish the cut edges. It was tons of fun to do it, I even made my own knurled knobs on the school lathes. I always prefered a one piece neck, inserting the truss from behind with an inlay, and pressing the frets right into my hand sculptured necks, made 2, one from maple with a walnut truss slot inlay the other was walnut with a maple inlay. Your work is certainly more artistic and very good. Often wonder what happened to it, left it home when I went to college and no one seemed to know where it went 😔. Love your work, btw what do you do with these when your done?
I've never smiled so gleefully watching someone work on a handmade piece before, and I don't really dig reggae that much for more than one or two tunes either.
Stunning work, at least for a layman who has absolutely no idea how all of this is done in detail. The only thing I would nitpick on, aside from the stripes that you reacted to as well, are the weight-drops you made in the back. Not sure if it's any different for bass-players, but I imagine those carve-outs will make it uncomfortable as it leans inward towards your hips/ribs/stomach.
Otherwise, absolutely gorgeous job.
Very impressive, but can you build a coloured pencil out of a bass?
Wrong channel
What crap are you asking. Go ask that to Davie Stevie whatever
well then just use this bass to do that
GFY
😂😂😂
You should try to add LED lights in the next build. It would be cool to have a guitar glow.
I was thinking the exact same thing. A rats nest of those tiny battery powered LED fairy lights. Just wow over all of his guitars regardless.
Steve Vai already designed a guitar with led lights. pretty cool idea btw.
I wonder if there is enough current in the phantom power to light up LEDs?
@@coastercook leds don't consume much.
@@anemonaloco they actually do
Genius. Amazing. Impressed. I have seen people using a small blow torch to remove the bubbles from the epoxy. Good luck
I hope you are keeping framed photographs of these builds. They're works of art. Congratulations
Stunning work.
As a beginner I really appreciate how you critique you own work. It gives me a good insight for different questions I wouldn't think to worry about.
Very impressive, but can you- oh wait wrong channel
Is this a crossover episode?
Davie is dissapointed of you
Hahahaha
Davie....
Bryson Hayes davieeeeeee
That was brilliant, absolutely amazing!
That looks so cool, love it! Great idea with the colored pencils.
Honestly, what can't he make a guitar out of. You're actually insane man. I'd love to play one of your guitars to get a feel of it.
David Nwokoye Dude i feel like ive seen you in 7000 different guitar related comment sections.
I think a guitar built with different metal bottle caps would look really cool!!! Can u make that?? ✌️
That sounds freakin awesome
Hell Yeah it does!
FALLOUT THEME INTENSIFIES
@Tom Camp I think a guitar made out of shit would be pretty cool
brapganistan i think a guitar made out of human flesh would be pretty cool
You should be proud of your ability to play that bass without limited experience. You sound fantastic!
Yes yes!!!
Such a beautiful piece.
Omg u got a sponsor, in like your first 10 videos. Wow, nice progress for 10 videos haha.
not to mention the 290k subscribers haha
He has only 8 videos, and a lot of talent.
I'm from jamaica and i approve of this masterpiece!
You make some of the most beautiful and interesting guitars!! Another great job!!
I have had the colored pencil guitar video in suggested videos forever. I just searched colored pencils because I wanted to show my daughter what they look like for an upcoming project. I wish I had clicked on your video sooner!! Great content, I love how how point out what went wrong when you could easily make it look like it came out perfectly.
Get a patreon. I will literally give you money to make guitars that I probably won't ever own.
Ahh. God bless you buddy. May you know Jesus can tune you up
Me too
Very impressive, but can you build a colored pencil out of a reggae bass?
He's not davie
smh
Wrong channel
Yeah you know you're really good when you can reverse any process
You made me snort out loud, dude. Well done!
I watch almost all of your videos. This is the first time I'm leaving a comment. This is because its long overdue. Dude, what a pleasure it is to watch you build a guitar. Thank you for sharing your builds each and every time again. Greetings from out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Stay healthy and stay creative and keep filming :-)
His kids are like “dad stop taking my pencils”
Lmfao! 😅😃
DAVIE504 WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
😂😂😂
i typed out this exact comment before scrolling down and seeing yours
He would love it
@@ericli1224 Damn same near
dude you could totally do van Gogh's starry night out of pencils
That would be beautiful
nightcore bro yesss!!
You pointing out how excited you were about your new rubber mallet shows how much pride you take in your work
I wish I had the resources to do this, not just with guitars but also...drums! Problem is, I know nothing about woodworking and I have no access to those types of machinery. Keep up the good work!
Love the randomness of the pencils, perfect for the reggae theme.
Nice to see you’ve picked up a sponsor. Hopefully that will help you expand your shop and your channel. One request though, keep the shop humble. That paradox of creating amazing stuff with common tools is a big part of the intrigue (for me). To many maker channels expand their shop to the point the average subscriber can no longer relate.
You’re one of the few people who I really enjoy watching, even if I don’t fully understand everything
This is so amazing! I think the gold hardware is perfect! I really like how you chose to do string through
This is the 2nd one I have seen you make with pencils ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT
Yo that's sick, build a bass for davie504!
Make a video WITH davie504, and play together! OOOOO
COLAB!!!
Slap together
Cant wait to see him slap it
YESSS
How about this guitar idea:
A clear epoxy guitar with LED strips and mirrors to reflect them? You could have the LED control box accessible at the back (batteries) and use the remote control to change the lighting effects/options.
YES
rickenbacker already made that. called the lightshow
Absolutely beautiful bro!! I love it!!
Wow it looks really amazing, you have a gift of making guitars out of certain things .
You probably get this a lot but I'd buy your guitars. The craftsmanship in your guitars gets better every video. Keep up the fantastic work! Just need a brand name.
0:22
"There's much better resources out there..."
Everyone on CZcams: Nah, I'm watching this.
EddieRay VanLynch exactly
You are incredibly creative, and have crazy mad skills!
I agree with you assessment of the stripes. I pretty much felt that as soon as I saw them and thought you'd realize and change it.
Your guitars are just so amazing. They really are a pieces of art. Keep up the great work ❤
your work is outstanding, as a luthier and an artist, if I were you, I wouldn't sell any of these instruments, and when you have enough, exhibit them like an artist would have an exhibition for paintings and sculptures, then have an auction when you have accumulated a huge following of admirers, maaan, those instruments could raise some serious money, you could be the Jeff Koons of luthiers, great stuff indeed.
1:22 “so i made some MAJOR changes to my workshop..like i changed the blade from an eighth inch to a quarter inch, thanks for noticing”
This ended up in my feed. Thanks YT. Subscribed. Your one-off projects are a great inspiration.
JAH-BLESS YOU MY BROTHA.
THIS RASTA LOVE'S WHAT YOU MADE.
✌️
Now just make a microphone and a drum set out of pencils and you have a band
What about a guitar??
Quantum Leap just add a couple of strings to the bass
Quantum Leap he’s made a couple pencil guitars already
dude idk if its possible but i'd love to see some drum shells made with colored pencils
Most beautiful Contra-Bass I have ever seen! Super creative congratulations! I want one of this Hahah! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow you’re so talented Beautiful work💪🏽❤️
I kept visualizing a thumbnail of Davie504 with his eyes all bugged out.
holy fucking shit i like his playing but god damn his camera mugging, especially in that "100 famous basslines" vid
O M G
Yup, there is the obligatory Davie504 on a BASS video
@@nahnope8581 I hear ya and I just can't sit through any of the dude's videos.
*_oh em ji_*
I drew a reggae bass with colored pencils once before.
sorry for thinking it was a flower
voidremoved Epic!
Beautiful work of art! You did well!
Another terrific build !
I love it !
Digging the workspace as well !
Love the work table on casters!
Thank you !
I could see these guitars in cool restaurants or hip museums lol, which is a good thing
Child: "Mom, I need some colored pencils for school."
Mom: "Go ask your father."
Wow so much hard work, Respect 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
The stripes are a nice touch IMO.
E P I C ! ! !
I'm a writer and everyone tells me how they wish they could write well, how it's a gift, an art form, etc., etc., etc. That's great and all, and I love what I do -- but I would trade it all for the fine motor skills to do projects like these. I can't even cut a straight line, much less an outline using a table saw. I'd be lucky to finish with all my fingers still attached to my hand. I see folks making things like this guitar -- which is amazing, by the way -- or furniture, pottery, etc., and I am so envious. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. Really cool video.
Rob Longley I truly can not even draw a straight line, with a ruler no less!,
Wow! A moving sander, not a people moving sander.
No stripes, yes. Still lovely.
Do not downplay your talents!! Very few people can write successfully and well.
Rob Longley it’s never to late to start!!!
Don’t judge your products too harshly, perfection isn’t the goal, it’s to learn and gain confidence with every project!
See what you want to do and keep trying and practicing the skill till you feel confident with it,
Every expert was a novice once, and every expert started with different amounts of “natural talent”
time, measured deliberate thought and research, and a dedicated practice routine will always surmount natural talent in the end!
Work out where you want to start, what you need to do to get better and practice it!
I know it might sound strange but sometimes you think you want something more than you actually do! And the way to gauge how much you actually want it, is to see how hard you've tried. If you haven't tried, it means you don't really want it that much. There are courses you can go on, for one week or two and some extend for several months, that teach you luthiery. Talent is not a requirement. Just need persistence and effort 🤷🏻♂️
@@willowrakiahcreager123 Thanks, I appreciate that. And I don't mean to downplay it. I appreciate the gift that I have and the fact I can make a living from it. I've just never really thought of it as a skill, per se. I don't have any training in it. I never even went to college. It's just something I started doing one day -- I enjoyed it, people liked it, and for 25 years, I've made a career out of writing stories, op-eds, speeches, advertising copy, etc. I'm grateful, believe me. But sometimes it almost feels like I'm cheating.
Davie 504 : I'll take your entire stock!
Davie would never buy a guitar
Alexander Supertramp this is totally a guitar
Dude this looks sick! Those gold peices make it look even cooler!
Dude. This friggin insane! Just goes to show what you can achieve when you know what you're doing.
"The warm vintage tone came from the colored pencils made of hand selected ancient and extremely rare one piece mahogany."
TONE WOOD!!!!
"this wood is VERY rich in colors!"
This is definitely a hang-on-the-wall bass. Looks cool!
I can keep watching you make these guitars all day dude.
Awesome bass dude, I liked the sound demo a lot too, you gotta give yourself more credit man!!!
Hey, stupid idea, imagine doing a guitar out of marbles and epoxy!
That would get really heavy, and very difficult to route and sand. I'm not sure if anyone makes diamond router bits, but that's what you'd need to cut the glass marbles.
Sounds cool, I don’t think it would work though. Maybe something out of those tiny bouncy balls or something I think that would look really cool but maybe they would melt? Dunno
I can see a base coat of wood or something like that routed out to hold marbles, then a big thick top layer of epoxy. Router would never hit the marbles, they’d just be on the inside of everything
yall ever heard of plastic marbles
@@zirconium2014 LMAO 😂 honestly
you should sign the headstock and make it lease plain as well as just that little bit more unique
Honnestly, you are very skilled, a true artist ! i' m amazed !
Love your work, please do more.
Burls. i know you said you’re not comfortable with selling your guitars yet but LOOK AT THE FREAKIN BASS YOU MADE.
Burls Art: Builds a bass out of color pencils
Me: Doesn't know how to draw a bass with color pencils
Looks great. Especially all things veing equal and not really planned all that well... You re giving me some great ideas.
Thanks loads...
Why are these videos so calming?
You should try doing a double neck guitar for your next project!

What a beautiful piece of work 👍
As a 5 string bassist, that thing is awesome! I am digging the stripes. A flawless add is for the museums… one with little nicks here and there show someone got their hands dirty doing an awesome job!
You should build a les Paul (my favorite guitar) out of scorpion lollipops
Cool but can you build an acoustic guitar out of pencils?
that'd be super difficult and sound terrible
@@windyhollow7869 you'll never know if you don't try 🤔
@@fredrich1210 Actually we do know, it wouldn't work.
Or at least a hollow body
You'd have to cast each separate part and connect them
That's a beautiful guitar and sounds great!
Imagine when he goes to his Hobby Lobby or wherever:
Cashier: Hello Sir! Is this all you want today?
Burl: _Hmmmm_ . You know what?
*TRIPLE IT.*
By far your coolest build yet (I may be biased, I am a bass player). I love the pencil pattern on this one. Its imperfections make it so unique. The fact that no 2 could ever be exactly the same is what custom work is all about. And those fret markers are AMAZING!
Send that *bass* to Davie504
He ain't charity
@@kacper38 He meant as sending it to test the bass, like Guns and Guitars has done with Guitar Max.
I slapped like
Forget Davie504 send that bass to me!😊😊🤗🤗
