How well do your guitars age? The colored pencil guitar, for example, is it still holding up? Do any of these unconventional materials ever come apart or show their age faster than conventional guitars? Does the epoxy yellow over time? How well do they hold their setups? Do you have to adjust the intonation more often?
By the way, this is my favorite of everything you've built so far. I love black and dark grey and having the historical articles show through is just an awesome idea. I wish I could buy this thing. It looks _so sharp._
Newspaper is probably the very last thing I would imagine a guitar made of. And the results are incredible: it looks ridiculously cool and sounds absolutely amazing! Wonderful job!
You fully just reversed engineered the paper to wood. I looks amazing I also love the finish of the body and neck contrast. Having the other newspaper headlines as a background was a great choice, gives it a sort of old yet historic look. Great work!
stellar looking instrument! One of my faourite builds of yours so far. Sounds is also immaculate - very transparent. In a way - it's cool how some trees were used for newspapers but got a second life in making up this beautiful instrument.
I get frustrated sometimes because you don't put out a lot of videos, but every time you do, your work blows my mind. Incredible. Quality over quantity.
@@ROYALFG absolutely Some content creators put stuff out constantly, but the quality is rarely ever this high. Burls art is the standard to which I rate guitars. Aesthetically anyways. Obviously I would love to see more stuff, but not if the quality is poor.
Breathtakingly beautiful. I don't play an instrument, but your work is pure relaxation to watch. One can see your passion and craftsmanship. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.
Looks mesmerizing, especially the sides! The fretboard looks super cool with those parallel longitudinal lines, and the mat finishing keeps the smudging away. Keep it as it is, I'd say.
Loved the build and the finish. Beautiful piece of work but, my dude, I absolutely lost myself in the demo. I could listen to that for hours. Amazing work! Subbed 😁😁
Bro..... This has gotta be the coolest looking guitar you've ever made. The old school vintage look is has is IMMACULATE brother. That is so sick. Keep blessing people with your gift man!
@@Grimpmann Disagreeing with my own opinion is really rude. I say it is artistry and mastery and that is my opinion only. Not to be disagreed with and not to be shut down. Funny how positivity in this world gets you negativity.
Probably the most enlightening twelve and a half minutes of guitar building I've witnessed since your last build. And the beautiful sound and chord progressions at the end gives the true reason for building guitars: moving the spirit to a higher plane. Thank you.
Love everything about this guitar...the idea, the look, the sound, the craftsmanship. There is genius in this, you should be recognized as a brilliant artist and craftsman.
Love this and the aluminum guitar. Both have unique sounds and sound great. This one has a sweet lofi sound going on. Makes me wish the big manufacturers would make more interesting guitars, but I get having to sell a ton at scale.
@@danshakuimo most likely not. unless you give them a fortune like 10 grand or something stupid to make it. It would probably be cheaper to make it yourself.
Any perceived difference in sound comes purely from pickups and string selection. The material used to build the body of electric guitars has 0 effect on the sound it produces. You can even make it out of thin air and it would sound exactly the same.
I dont think the guitar material influences the sound in any profound way. Think about it. The signal has to go through the pickups, strings, cables, amp, microphone and your speakers. The chance that you would perceive any notable difference if he played a guitar made of a different material but everything else the same would be very small.
Truly a 1 of a kind guitar since I’m sure none of those articles will ever be printed again. And it came out beautifully as well! Fantastic as always!!
About 10 years ago I had this exact idea! The difference, you figured out how to make it work. At the time I hadn’t heard of the power of epoxy, this is fantastic. Great job
Micarta is supposed to be really tough so I'm not surprised it was hard to cut on the bandsaw. I love how all the sheets created this wood grain effect, that's a cool guitar right there and it sounds pretty nice too.
@Burls Art I wanted to let you know, that any time you post new videos on your amazing guitars that you build, it makes my day so much brighter. You have brilliant skillets and ideas on guitar.. Just simply outstanding.
The outside shot gives me the vibe of someone who's survived the apocalypse and tours around the wasteland, faithfully keeping the best of human culture alive. Amazing work
I reckon this is your most impressive build, really amazing to look at, along with all the work and detail you put into it. This is amazing content, thanks !
I always look forward to seeing what unconventional material you will choose for your builds. This one looks amazing and sounds gorgeous. I guess you must have an uncanny skill for selecting the best tonepaper as opposed to any old newspaper!
lmao. We really need to put this idea that body materials affect tones to bed once and for all. I mean this guy (and basic electricianship) have disproven it beyond all doubt.
@@Molotov_Milkshake Exactly! You should check out Jim Lill's channel if you haven't already done so. In one video he constructs an 'air guitar' with no body and neck and the strings spanning thin air. With the pickup in the right position, it still sounds like his Telecaster.
@@NJT1000 hahha holy shit! I have to check that out! I don't know why so many guitarists can't just admit that they like certain guitar bodies because they LOOK COOL! There's no shame in it. I love my Strat and my SG because they look killer. The idea of 'tonewoods' is just dumb. Wood affects how you apply finishes, yeah. But tone? No chance. It's a persistent myth within the guitar community still...for some reason :\ I feel like it's just a gimmick of luthiers to upsell more expensive products/materials.
This is amazing, was a newpaper dude for a bunch of my life and this is so cool. The way you encounter issues and solve them is super cool. Maybe in the future you can have a timer superimposed as your work proceeds, so we can have a sense at the countless hours you've spent on the project.
Been following you for years man, all your build always come out looking awesome. You definitely deserve your own company and signature guitar style. Let alone a ton more followers. Keep going strong man. Look forward to the next one.
You should totally try this with something like rose petals or maybe the favorite flower of someone close to you. Maybe you could do one with Japanese cherry blossoms, or for the Canadians you could do one out of just maple leaves. This is so cool
Wonderful idea, wonderful result! What an amazing piece of musical art this turned out, fantastic grain effect on the edges of the body and the newspaper surface of the body looks so damned cool! Lovely sound and looks as thought it should be in an art gallery, absolutely love this and thanks so much for the video of the construction!
Didn't expect the sides to look so cool, it kinda looked like wood grain. The top and headstock is really a brilliant idea.
Was really hoping for a belly cut to show off the layers but I guess with how they’re aligned it probably wouldn’t look any different.
Paper is made from wood so kinda makes sense
@@User-ik2kc Yeah, actually, the material is not that much different from plywood.
Yeah I thought the same, but it does look good I must sdmit
@@User-ik2kc Besides woodpulp, paper can be made from other materials such as cotton, flax, esparto, straw, hemp, manilla, jute, grasses and vegetables.
Yeah, this might be my favorite-looking guitar you've done so far.
*favorite-looking
And even when spelled right, it's still kind of a clumsy word to use...
Agreed!
you could say this pleases the nut
I agree
cool pfp
The best sounding news I've heard all year!
You should show it to the guys you got the newspaper from.

Newspaper is probably the very last thing I would imagine a guitar made of. And the results are incredible: it looks ridiculously cool and sounds absolutely amazing! Wonderful job!
I would love 2 know the weight of the paper vs the weight of the resin used to glue it together.
You sure the last thing you would imagine was newspaper and not hair?
@@Bullpoog Now you said that, I'm not really sure. I wouldn't even think of a guitar made of hair. LMAO
Love how the grain aren't just random thin lines but really make up a marbling. I love the ashen color it's so cool. Coolest paper guitar i ever saw.
❤

That is such a great way to describe the wood grain look!
Yeh, this makes me think it would be a badass design to build a guitar with the front design being newspaper clippings from a particular era.
You do looks amazing Anthony
As an instrument builder and musician I sincerely appreciate what you’ve done here.

Dude that's sick!!! Love the way the paper looks with the glossy varnish!! Sounds also really good. Love what you're doing. Congrats from France!!!

You’re right. Those P-90’s coupled with the uniqueness of this build sounds fantabulous!🎸
The level of artistry and mastery it takes to create a musical instrument like this is just so amazing. You are so talented. Beautiful instrument.
Newspaper comes from wood. It is still a wood made guitar. Doing it with paulownia would be much better.

Stunning guitar. Really beautiful. Thanks for letting us follow along on the journey.
Of all the guitar builds on CZcams, this definitely my favourite. Pure class.
This is awesome
Indeed it is Alex Ernst, indeed it is
When's the next fight? lol
The "oh boy" guy wow
No it isn't
The why of it illudes me. Seems to me worse than wood

one of my favorite builds and love the way it sounds amazing job and would love to see other paper builds.
The look of this one looks great. The headliners on the body and headstock was an extremely nice touch.
I don’t play guitar. But I absolutely love watching these videos. You are extremely talented. Never stop.
your effort and videos never fail to impress me! you inspire me to do things like you one day for sure
Don't make it one day, make that day today. Life's to short
This is phenomenal, can really feel love for the instrument in this creation, great chops as well, here here!
the song at 10:58 like WTF!!!

the build is the best part! and the playing and everything else
