Yeah. It is simply an aluminum instrument that has absolutely no connection to the original material. Seems like a waste of the coins and time. Why not just carve or melt aluminum if that's the case?
I watched his coffee bean guitar video today. And I’ve had a phantom sort of coffee aroma in my nose ever since. 🤣 Burl does some incredible work for sure.
That red finish gives it a classic and rustic look as if it's a relic from the past, amazing job. Here's an idea that might be cool, but also functionally a pain in the ass to make: making a guitar body out of roman style concrete
Have you touched real Roman concrete?? Shit is more brittle than a high school relationship. Seriously, it's lighter than than standard concrete (high lime(stone) content?) and partly because of that I think so much easier to break. A 2" piece of concrete you can just barely not break with you fingers world be like a chocolate chip cookie to break if it was made by the ancient Romans. Just sayin
This is one of the most scientifically over-engineered guitar constructions I've ever seen, and it is honestly amazing. The fact that you went from making your very first guitar out of just coloured pencils to this, is nothing short of awe-inspiring!
It's not even close to being overengineered. It was a very simple design but still a great build. If you want to see over engineered, check out the metal 3d printed guitar build for Ynngwei Malmstien
@@MobiusBandwidth He could remove the tuning knobs and TIG weld a coin to each tuner to have one for each string. Then just turn each coin to get the instrument in tune.
My thought was that the ebay sellers would be jumping for joy, because this guitar means there are 1600 fewer of the coins that might end up on ebay... I think the screams of "nooooooo" would be buyers realising that those coins are getting rarer
This is actually a chemistry/science class using the premise of building a guitar to keep the students interested. Very clever. This is just one more awesome video. Take Me Home Country Roads - excellent musicianship.
Burl, I know alot of deceased Radio Shack nerds who were all about that store for electronic builds. I never knew about those coins and I highly suspect if my late friends could both see and hear what you did with those old aluminum coins? They'd have a big ol' grin on their faces. Tremendous job, and kudos for picking up the nuances of a new instrument!
Man, you're incredible. Just doing what you love, and doing it on our own terms - it's admirable. Your passion shows through how obsessive you are with every detail, nothing short of legendary. Marvelous.
As always, love the video, and love the guitar. I got chills when you started playing what sounded like Take me Home, Country Roads. I just really wish you would've somehow added unmelted Radioshack coins to the build. Doesn't matter, because it's still awesome!
This is awesome. Would have been cool to put 1 of the RS dollars as a headstock emblem somehow, or maybe just somewhere on the side of the body or something? Very cool project. Thanks for sharing, and that Country Roads rendition sounds awesome!
I was thinking he was going to cast the coins in acrylic or something, but he just used them for their aluminum content, he could have used beer cans or anything. It may have been a nice touch to use a coin or two as a neck inlay? Of course his work was excellent, and his finished product was outstanding.
Your builds never fail to impress, its great to watch your creations grow and evolve with time. You inspire me to continue making things and I'm sure you inspire others as well. Keep up the good work!! I can't wait to see what's next!!
Dude, you’re a amazing artist! My son and I love watching your channel! We love you and all the great guitars you bring to life!!! Keep up the great work!
Awesome work Burls! I love each time you make a video! These always make my day each time I see them. Please whatever you do, don’t stop unless your health becomes a problem.. until that day please don’t stop making these awesome videos
It's always entertaining to watch you work. Nice to see you learning from the previous aluminum build and applying it even though this is a different style of guitar.
The whole process itself, your skills on the matter and the final performance of Take me home, country roads were very well done, thanks for the video. Greetings from Honduras!
This lap steel tone is so money. Congrats on another creative build! Loved seeing the process for this, as well as the prior build with the melted cans.
Burl you are a mad genius bro me and my wife love watching you bring these ideas to life and its also awesome you keep all the mess ups and problems in the video so people can learn
Your creativity is amazing. Please keep doing crazy stuff!!!!! Thank you for all these videos. I also love to see all your mistakes. When we do stuff for the first time we always make mistakes. Creative success is always on the far side of failure. Just keep at it. This project was amazing. You totally Rock!
Fabulous video. I play lap steel and was also an apprentice in a casting factory (Paxman Diesels UK) l really appreciate all the work you put into this project, and thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it immensely . Brilliant effort.
I know nothing about metal casting or playing a guitar, but I found this absolutely fascinating. I’ve always loved sound of a steel guitar and the rendition of “Country Roads” was beautiful. You are a really talented person. Thanks.
Simply incredible. This truly feels like a heritage piece you can hand down. Absolutely extraordinary craftsmanship. You are so damn talented. I've got three final words for ya...Mississippi Delta Blues. 🎶🎵
That was so cool to watch. In part because I had never heard of a lapsteel guitar. Here's to learning something new, and hearing some sweet music at the end.
Are you serious? At a professional level of playing, not even close. Playing a few notes on slide or one tune does not make a professional. What he does here is cool but playing will take a lot more practice to get a clean tone and accurate pitch. The building process is amazing.
Super fun build to watch. Only wish you had inlayed one of the original coins into the end or something - just a tribute to the origin of the idea.
He could probably still do that
I just came here to the comments to suggest the exact same thing.
The top and bottom of the coin.
Same, what a shame.
Yeah. It is simply an aluminum instrument that has absolutely no connection to the original material. Seems like a waste of the coins and time. Why not just carve or melt aluminum if that's the case?
Burl is getting crazier and crazier with his ideas and I am all here for it
Sameeee!
I watched his coffee bean guitar video today. And I’ve had a phantom sort of coffee aroma in my nose ever since. 🤣
Burl does some incredible work for sure.
@@OldStreetDoc definitely, would love to own a bass by him but my pocket says no

Relic from the past, just like most of the aluminum of the body. Lol
Fantastic idea Left Testicle

Great playing at the end too - really impressive on all fronts both in terms of building and playing!

how is this over engineered?
@@tvviewer4500 Bro learned a buzzword, was dying to use it. Let him try to sound smart please?

If you want to see over engineered, check out the metal 3d printed guitar build for Ynngwei Malmstien
"Scientifically over engineered guitar construction "
Wow. That's very good.
This is the most logically thought-out, trouble-shot, and executed guitar constructions that he's done since the last one.
Radio Shack was the place for all of our electronic needs back in the day… What a cool tribute. Love your videos !!!
I was hoping he'd mount a couple of the unmelted coins onto this build, showing each side.
@@MobiusBandwidth that would've been so cool
@@MobiusBandwidth He could remove the tuning knobs and TIG weld a coin to each tuner to have one for each string. Then just turn each coin to get the instrument in tune.
I'm a simple guy. I see a Burl's Art notification. I click.
As you were dumping those coins in the furnace I could hear in my mind the tormented screams of ebay sellers, noooooo.
😭😭

That guitar has an absolutely beautiful sound to it, and your practice on lapsteel clearly paid off. Awesome job!

Heard the Country Roads parts and immediately came to the comments. Glad I wasn't the only one who heard it, haha.
John Denver would approve 👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼

You some how always manage to make something so awesome every time you build something. Fantastic work! 🤘🏻

That was awesome! I am always excited to see your builds. They always blow my mind in ways I did not expect.
That lap steel sounds fantastic!!
Looks and sounds magical! Your builds are the best.
Absolutely love this build and your demo at the end. What a laid back masterpiece of overall artistry.
It's fascinating and relaxing to watch you work. Great job!
Really is amazing to throughly enjoy your skill level and passion for these projects. Oh, and I thought your playing was terrific!🎸
I look forward to your videos and am still always met with awe. Great work!
Absolutely incredible build! And I loved the demo, too... Props all around, Burl.
Always an instant watch👍🏼👍🏼👌
Fantastic piece of art.
What would make just that little bit cooler, would be to make control knobs covered with the original coin.
Yeah guitar should include coins in from or other.
Beautiful playing. Outstanding build. Love your videos.
Enjoyed the video, and what a treat at the end! One of my favorite songs ❤ people like u make me wanna become an engineer
One of the best rarities on youtube - a new Bulr's upload!!!!
incredible as always!
Ok wow, amazing build, fantastic playing at the end too. Always love seeing what you make.
Dude, you’re a amazing artist! My son and I love watching your channel! We love you and all the great guitars you bring to life!!! Keep up the great work!
The anodizing process was partiularly interesting, thanks for sharing your project!! And explaining the various steps.
Awesome work Burls! I love each time you make a video! These always make my day each time I see them. Please whatever you do, don’t stop unless your health becomes a problem.. until that day please don’t stop making these awesome videos
Gotta say this is one of the cooler builds. Love the open neck. That is something I have never seen or expected to see. Well done
You're a madman in the best possible way. Great work as usual! 🤘
What an incredible tone. Did not expect it to sound so warm.. excellent work
Over the past week I have totally gone down the lap Steel rabbit hole thanks to this video, never realized how beautiful of an instrument it could be!
me too!!
Those imperfections from the anodising 100% make it look even better!! Amazing build as always!
This brings back so much nostalgia with my memories of going to RadioShack. One of the coolest guitar builds I’ve seen yet! 🎸
That was beautiful playing. The Lap Steel looks and sounds great!!
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful tune at the end.
Great playing at the end there! Beautiful guitar as well, great job!
My great grandmother, Lois (Gripman) Tuttle, started RadioShack. It's fitting to use the coins for a guitar. She was the start of RCA also.
According to Wikipedia Radio Shack was founded by Theodore and Milton Deutschmann.
Your ingenuity and creativity never cease to amaze!
This is so sick dude. Love these. Please keep the radness going.
that solo at the end was just wicked to hear, keep up the good work
Dude - this is insane! Nice work! By far the best out to demo too so fair play for sticking it out I really want a lap steel now 🤘🤘
Ridiculously cool project. Your demo of the final product was very nice as well!
The demo is always incredible
Another great build, well done. Looks and sounds amazing.
It's always entertaining to watch you work. Nice to see you learning from the previous aluminum build and applying it even though this is a different style of guitar.
Love the build!
Bravo, sir! You killed it! Great rendition.
Well done Mate, Great job with the Lap Steel, and a Lovely sound to boot
what a fun process. it sounds and looks beautiful.
Fantastic build and love your rendition of take me home, country roads
Man!!! I’m so impressed. Great job!!! It really sounds nice too.
The whole process itself, your skills on the matter and the final performance of Take me home, country roads were very well done, thanks for the video.
Greetings from Honduras!
One of my favourite projects of yours, nicely done 👍
Well done, you, great look, and a great sound.
Nice to watch the faults ad apposed to a perfect edited piece.
One of my favorites! The playing at the end was really cool, and the build was different from anything you’ve done.
Guitar making and science! I love your videos so much!
The final result is AMAZING! Great Job, muh dood!
Great build i think the open fret board was a really cool touch.
Absolutely love watching you build these guitars! So cool, my kid learned a little science on this one!!
Lovely instrument! By far my favorite of the demos you have done. :)
Loved the sound man. Really nice looking piece you built there.
its been a long time cheers from country georgia 🇬🇪🎸👍🏻good job!!!!
This lap steel tone is so money. Congrats on another creative build! Loved seeing the process for this, as well as the prior build with the melted cans.
Is it a Lap Steel? Or a Lap Aluminum? 😃
Radio Shack is still around! That is a very cool creation, good job!
Man I just want to thank you I enjoyed watching this video so much and it is so beautiful...
Very cool video, I love the design of the guitar. The song at the end was beautiful ❤
Burl you are a mad genius bro me and my wife love watching you bring these ideas to life and its also awesome you keep all the mess ups and problems in the video so people can learn
Interest build and great results. The tone of the guitar is truly wonderful. Congrats!
I can listen to this type of strumming for hours man. Great job!
Great work and playing
You are a true artist in every sense of the word! Beautiful work and an incredible song the cap it off at the end. Love it! God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍
Your creativity is amazing. Please keep doing crazy stuff!!!!! Thank you for all these videos. I also love to see all your mistakes. When we do stuff for the first time we always make mistakes.

welcome back bro glad to see a new project
I love that you leave the mistakes in the vids, it helps with understanding the process better
Fabulous video. I play lap steel and was also an apprentice in a casting factory

l really appreciate all the work you put into this project, and thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it immensely . Brilliant effort.
Sounds amazing! Great job!!
You never cease to amaze with your ideas
Didn't expect to shed a little tear at the end there. Damn good job!
Dude you are my guitar building guru!!!! What an insane build, about $4000 in raw materials plus the time and effort, full credit man, love it 😊
Nice! Especially liked the playing at the end!
one more amazing build to the collection
Dude.. That demo at the end was amazing!

Insane that you can already play this instrument at a professional level. Incredible work as always!!
well he practiced for 40 hours! XD amazing. damn.
@@MobiusBandwidth I’ve played guitar for 10 years and still sound like shit! XD
Are you serious? At a professional level of playing, not even close. Playing a few notes on slide or one tune does not make a professional. What he does here is cool but playing will take a lot more practice to get a clean tone and accurate pitch. The building process is amazing.
