- I try one of my most bizarre ideas yet...building a guitar out of a 50 pound block of salt.
My website: www.burlsart.com/
The epoxy I used: (Use coupon code: burlsart15):
www.totalboat.com/product/tota... - Zábava
FYI this is pink Himalayan salt... commonly used for grilling meats on bbq's, or in my case, building guitars.
It's not rock salt? |m| -_- |m|
Even prettier!!!
That outro is heart melting.
how much is one of these? asking for a friend
we a Himalayan salt lamp and it's sooooo heavy. How heavy is the guitar? oop never mind the weight was in the later part of the vid sorry
all the tones in the world and you choose to be salty
Hey I’m the first one to see this!
Lmaooo
Daddy Dines is here
ayyy
Haha
*In a concert with that guitar*
*starts raining*
Guitar: goodbye
"my time has come"
His guitar will gently weep.
@@maninthecrowd5076 underrated comment.

@@maninthecrowd5076 pffffft
As someone who works in salt mines, I can't believe you managed to keep that thing whole through all that. Great job!!
This is one of the best salt-guitar builds I've ever seen. Definitely in the top 5. WAY better than so many other salt guitars. Especially the mass-produced ones.
I'm sorry they actually make more of these?
@@Chillin4030several, Gibson has been making les salts for a few years
@@ayoutubechannulI prefer my Saltocaster but that one’s good too
@@JackVance5 Don't you mean the Telesalter?
"I built a guitar out of the comments section"
Actually be rlly cool, if he made it out of epoxy and you could see some comments in it or something
That's what the title of the video say
It’s sounds like a lot of attack and no release
Dead
don't temp him!
Well...salt is a preservative. So that tone is staying fresh forever.
Edit: Some of you don't know what a joke is apparently.
Eyyyyyyy
This is massively underrated
Nothing preserved in salt ever counts as fresh.
Though the problem is that it doesn't have a sweet spot.
@@RedmarKerkhof lol that's a good one...
You should've coated it with clear coat, it would potentially be more durable, and would definitely reduce the wear and tear on your metal parts.
but would change the acoustics.
It would change the flavor, too.
@@TheXComputerXDr not really
@@TheXComputerXDr bro the acoustics of salt? if building a guitar out of coffee, recycled plastic, colored pencils, or any other various things had minimal effect I doubt clear coat is gonna ruin the tonality of his salt
@@clays.9662 maybe not to you, but a refined ear o_0?
I love how tasteful your guitar playing is. A lot of guitar demos just shred or play rock/blues riffs you've heard a million times. So this is refreshing.
heh, tasteful I see what you did there
I guess that you could say that you're a well seasoned guitar builder now.
I'll show myself out.
Aaron Mustin, please don’t
No you get the gold star for the day
It was good
Oh that was bad but it was so good
Well played sir. Take my like and have a seat.
Now whenever someone needs their food salted, just stand over them and shred
Lmao 😂
What you did there... I see it
Now that's an underrated comment
🤣😂
Thank you for your wisdom I will use it in the future
You can tell he’s a seasoned player. Very tasteful licks.
omg im dying underrated comment
i just love the idea of taking a file to your telecaster to season a meal. Imagine playing this live & your VIP audience has margaritas with guitar salted rims
dying bro
Tried this on a humid day and my guitar dissolved into the atmosphere. 9/10.
Ig you could say the guitar is "in your atmosphere" now
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Puts another meaning into air guitar, huh?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RainwriterMusic good one lol
People: Les Paul's are so heavy ugh
Burls Art: amateurs
this isnt a les paul tho
@@tevitavuki6100 you misinterpreted the joke
@@nicholaspaat7302 no i got the joke, about how les pauls are heavy but he made a 22 pound guitar, I'm just saying its not a les paul

absolutely stunning, from the unique materials to the minimalistic styling and pristine sound! Luv it!
Amazing work. For a guitar made out of salt, it makes for some sweet tunes!

Underrated comment
Normally you want Sweet Licks though....
hell no!
Nobody wants to lick salt, just sayin.
@@annt.7785 except horses
For a guitar made out of salt , it sounds pretty sweet, the body looks really cool too.
What an eclectric guitar is made of, doesn't affect how a recording sounds. A guitar effects the sound you hear. Because the sound coming off the string bounces off it. Pickups however are not microphones. They do not detect sound. The sound makes no difference. A pickup is a magnetic field that detects the strings movement directly. Nothing about the body affects that to any degree any modern instruments can measure. Much less, to a degree your ears can detect.
@@Wylie288 you totally missed the joke. F.
@@Wylie288 I agree with you except for one thing. The body can determine how long a string will resonate translating to longer sustain. Other than that the actual tone won't change.
Very cool Burl! Loved the playing at the end, sweet tunes!
You should make a compilation of failed projects if you even have any
With as many guitars as he's made hr has to have broke at least one guitar half way through. Maybe
the first ever guitar I tried to build was a disaster. The routerbit pulled in the neck, cut into it, Tried to fix it, couldn't. The 2 pieces for the body were not jointed at a right angle, when I glued it up, it was bowed, I got so angry, just broke the damn thing in half. Now I'm much more careful
Yeah with good explanations on what went wrong this could be a very informative video idea
please
Everyone talks about having a sweet guitar, but i dont think ive ever seen _a salty one before._
This made me AWPset :(
Completely underrated comment lol
@@dustinpendergast THANK YOU. someone gets it.
Wooooooow
Underrated comment 😂😂😂😂
I did NOT expect you to actually play this thing. 😳
It actually sounds AMAZING. Hat is off to you, sir.
Another banger man. Your creativity has no bounds and is ever inspiring to the masses my friend. thank you.
Talk about being able to do some good “licks” on this guitar.
I would like this comment but I don't want to destroy the nice 69
Jajajja
“Tasty licks”.. but fine.. I ain’t butthurt or nothin.. 😒..
😂
Is this ROCK salt?
Stolen
Every snail in a 5 mile radius: (seeing the salt smoke) "Oh...Oh no."
Change da world
My final message
Goodbye
Your profile pic just makes it better 😂😂
It's seriously gorgeous though. The telecaster style was a great choice. Would be wild to see different tints like teal or jade. Very nicely crafted, well done!
I’ve always been impressed by people who could just pick up a guitar and played. Tried starting several times but never got the hang of it.
There's a whole market to be tapped here. All those crazy ppl with their crystals would spend some crazy $$ for guitars made from them.
I would absolutely buy a crystalline guitar
not to mention this is a pretty slick guitar too, crazy people and crazy guitarists will both eat it up
We thinking a bunch of different crystals in epoxy? Would be pretty cool, honestly.
Wonder what a Venn diagram of anti vaxxers and guitar players would look like
@@LeglessWonder oh no 😂
This really feels like "Daily dose of internet" content
Bro ur soooo true
Did this show up in one of his videos?
Hello everyone, this is YOUR daily dose of internet
This guy made an electric guitar out of salt
@@RandomThings12 I can ｈｅａｒ him
Is it magically his content then?
Awesome. Amazing built. Love it
You should make a epoxy guitar made of peppercorn as a sequel.
Les Paul: I’m the heaviest guitar ever made 🎸

Peavey T-60 is heavier.
National guitars are way heavier or even any other resonator guitar.
Hahaha
The tone is amazing, and the cows LOVE IT!!!!
"Could you pass me the salt?"
*starts shredding*
"For my next guitar, I'm going to build it out of a hundred pounds of Alaskan smoked salmon."
lol
😂🤣😂🤣
Now *this* is a real "rock" guitar 😂
Excuse the bad joke
That Is a good idea
That is a great idea
jesus christ marie it's a mineral, not a rock
@@opagangster1 nice
Oh. my god.
Finnally a real artist on youtube, not one of those foney wannabe internet designers. But true craftsmanship and a creative heart! Very very good! Subbed.
Looks and sounds majestic!
Awesome! Now can you please build a guitar out of 50 pounds of peanut butter, I love peanut butter, lol.
That sounds difficult - but probably only just as difficult as making it out of salt...
maybe he could make a mold, pour the peanut butter in, freeze it, and cover it with resin before it melts? i dunno i aint no scientist
@@mothman4672 thought the same.. but when the pb melts there is water.. maybe if you dry pb to state of powder.. and than just mix in the epoxy... that mus be fine.
Are You challenging a god?
StarsWithScars yeah, i’m sure theres a way to get it looking like peanut butter, but i’m not sure how close you can get to a true peanut butter guitar
Burls: I made a guitar out of salt
Humidity: So you have chosen death
You are a seasoned musician.
I don’t know if I’m more impressed with your creativity or with the salt. That’s one salty Esquire!
"Hey man can you pass me the salt"
-Sure thing dude!
throws the guitar*
I laughed way too hard at this comment.
Lol same
LMAO
After shredding a hot lick
Some devil liked this ONE too many times.
The only guitar I could make a descent lick with.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
good pun
You going down on it
Ah yes a very descent lick
Crystal clear solo!
Brings the "lick" to a whole new level
The amount of cons for this build is hilariously devastating.
Cons
- Super Heavy
- Very fragile
- Will melt away in a bath tub
Pros
- Looks badass
- Handy salt lick for your horse
- Great for backyard barbecues

Whys that?
@@jamesbridges7314 the word salary comes from salt, because back then the payment was salt, useful to conserve meat and was difficult to find salt in that territory so, that's the reason for the price

"Why are we out of salt?"
Burls Art: *casually playing his pink Himalayan salt guitar*
This wouldn’t be edible salt btw
Tiemo Courtice Yes it is, it’s pink Himalayan salt.
@@Ori0987 That's surprising
This guitar can handle a lot of licks. Amazing.
Mom: hey son wheres the salt?
Him: its on the guitar holder
Probably should have coated the entire thing in epoxy.
but then you wouldnt be able to lick it 😦
but then how would you lick it
I thought the same thing myself, but unfortunately it would probably change the sound and would in fact be more of an epoxy build rather than a salt build
I think all the metal parts will rust without a coat,.
@@michaellrakes5521 Most wood guitars are protected by a layer of lacquer, so I hardly think it's cheating to add a protective finish
The crowd at the show: "damn his solo was so emotional he started crying"
Burls Art: "damn salt keeps getting in my eyes"
burks
@@TheBasementD lol sorry the auto correct betrayed me
Sounds very earthy and natural. Lots of harmonics 😁
i’m curious as to how well this thing has held up... i would’ve been terrified to put strings on it.
i wonder if there is some way to mimic the look of the salt with stronger materials? 🤔
A quartz would work i assume, not sure if there is any that color though, rose quartz maybe
I hear that cows are big fans of these, because they love to practice their licks on guitars made of salt.
Thank you
I was going to make a joke about the salt but yours already fulfilled any need for a joke haha

@@MR-df6fe no matter how much he cleans it there will be something leftover. hope his gear is ok in the long run.
@The Shape He didn't say He took apart every machine. The Air intaktes of the rotary Tools probably sucked Salt into the motors.

@@weaver3636 when it arives, you start to play it and it just crumbles
could get the same effect with rose quartz I think, and no problem with it dissolving from moisture.
I bet after having made one he'd be able to make a second with slight improvements. Perhaps epoxy on both sides, all holes drilled super slowly, figure out some solution for the neck joint being flakey. But regardless it'd still be super fragile.
Playable and lickable. Cool as hell, as usual, and really nice looped tune at the end.
It actually sounds good, nice job man
