Godin's are really nice guitars. If any of you are wondering, that's a Graph Tech Ghost piezo system, you can install it on almost any guitar with TOM, Floyd or fender style bridge; it's not just limited to Godin. And yes, mass produced guitars have pretty much the same processes anywhere; with the exception of PRS, who's manufacturing vids are on Harmony Central.

It's called a piezo pickup.. Special thanks to Roberto Godin for the filming in his factory..

he's talking about a pickup UNDER the bridge (a piezo), not one next to it.

thank god someone posted these videos because now i sorta know how to apply lacquer and how to buff

This was amasing i was aspost to do a project on this 2 weeks ago but this taught me almost everything...I have a feeling im gonna do good :p

floating bridges my arch enemy

@tango616 when the neck is constructed, it actually has to be perfectly straight. The slight bend comes when you tension the strings.

awesome job

"most guitars don't have pickup's in the bridge" now let me tell you why that's bull shit

Many guitars in the 40s didn't have bridge pickups. That's not really true nowadays. Also the neck pickup has a more "acoustic" sound than the bridge pickup imo.

supernintendo64 They don't mean bridge pickups as in "a pickup close to the bridge." They mean a pickup inside the bridge itself, which a vast majority of guitars do NOT have. And it does give a more acoustic-like sound because it doesn't pick up string vibrations (they aren't magnetic). Rather they pickup the vibration of the entire instrument. Look up piezo pickups.

@Adayam actually hes testing the frets of fret buzz xD

Do Goden guitars have a threaded bushing in the neck for the neck screws to go into? They are mentioned two times but I didn’t see them and I’m not aware of any other guitars that have them.

godin is a french canadian guitar company. great guitars

because when they first install it it needs to be set before the pressures added. because the neck hasnt been used yet

Does anyone know what electronic music is playing beginning at 0:20 and where do I get it?

yeah, definitely talking about the piezo. It was strange to hear though at first!

What kind of guitar is that?

any1 know where i can get the parts they showed in part 1 and 2 to make my own electric guitar, or would it just be cheaper and better quality to buy a bc rich warlock from guitarcenter for like $190(thats after 6% sales tax)?

According to this video making a guitar takes almost two months. However fender (and gibson I think) Makes guitars in just over 3 weeks.

Some processes are shown as being done by hand here, whereas other companies (or even just lower-end guitars by the same company) have the same things done by machines. Doing things by hand is naturally slower, but allows more attention to detail. Also, I doubt Fender and Gibson count the drying-process of the wood, as nothing really *happens* in that time.

Guys, he's playing the chromatic scale to check if any note has fret buzz.

Pretty cool, actually.

now i know why guitars are so freakin expensive.

coooool

yep . The nut is made of bone , so that it has a better sustain . Except for Floyd Rose which is made of metal :).

2:45 standard guitars dont have bridge pickup? almost all guitars ive seen have a bridge pickup

It's the Ghost Pickup System produced by Graphtech Labs. It works just as the narrator says.

A lot of work.. But it worth it! cool!

@ynon1 I don't know if you were joking, but lutherie is a very precise field to work in. You must know how to play to build one.

@demonwx10 Depends if you get custom made stuff =P most expensive strings ive seen are like 30 dollars a pop

0:42 The frets aren't level, so they sand them down to be level. 1:19 They straighten out the neck. Won't it already be straight after sanding the frets down to be level? After all, they're always making sure multiple frets are level with eachother. If frets 1 to 5 are level, and 2 to 6, and 3 to 7, etc, then fret 1 to 24 should be level, right?..

@iloveitsoeffinmuch the ones used when the guitar itself is made yes. the ones you replace it with no

@Jocke337 nope, they have machines carving the body

@Xyzd95 because it says "Gibson" on the Headstock.

@BAnders2319 Yeah would be a real bummer.

its funny how he has the neck PERFECTLY straight, should always have some relief on the neck, should always have a VERY VERY VERY slight bow.

4:29 I WANT THAT SPECIAL ADAPTER!

@deathhoundpack i know lol it was a joke cause it sounded kinda like holy wars

does this guy get 2 keep all the stuff he makes? kool!

Cool vid bro I have a replica telecaster but idk how to play it sum1 help ppz

@mattluvsvox921 Most guitars do have a pickup at the bridge and the acoustic like sounding pickup is the mid or neck pickup i believe HE doesn't know

@imadey0utube they have been tested. they have to be, otherwise you may buy a brand new guitar for 500 bucks or so, and having it not work. how much of a bummer would that be?

i hate when people call the whammy bar a tremelo. a tremelo effect quickly moves the volume up and down, never changes pitch. a whammy bar alters the pitch.

@Stivsh and for metal

@ynon1 it only sounds like beginner crap because they are just testing the neck unless that guy really is a beginner :S

dude does anybody know how i can get a job like that? making guitars fora living?

@ynon1 That's why I like companies like Gibson. I'd rather have someone that's a guitarist and knows what guitarists like make my guitar.

yep, me too...

@never4getthis Maybe. But if you watch their factory tour video they show the entire process and mention the duration to be 2-3 weeks. By the way very interesting screen name. I suppose you have no trouble remembering your login :)

@imadey0utube Of course xD we saw on this video xP

@FacebookChicano What kind of come back is that? At least I don't think strings cost $60

ya!! I want to be one of the electric guitar factory worker!!!!!! XD

in the 1. part guitar was blue!

it isnt gibson cuz the logo isnt like that but it may be godin.

Dress the frets and then straighten the neck. Haha

Yeah and when the gauge hits zero the neck is perfectly straight..LOL Where in the hell do they get this info for their narration ? I have watched many of there "How it's Made" episodes and every one of them is fucked up with wrong information or descriptions.

That's what I was thinking, usually you straighten the neck then level the frets 🙂

He didn't play scales, that's a "spider" exercise.

How the hell did leo fender do all of this by hand at his job.

@vuthinjuks yea thought thats what he ment few mins after posting the comment :P

Oldest video i found

Vibrato or tremolo....

Lol, i never heard of a guitar WITHOUT a bridge pickup, its the middle pickup that doesnt have on most guitar...

the neck shouldnt be exactly straight, it should have a slight bow

he play holy wars by megadeth at the end xD

@Jocke337 nahh, gibsons aren't really handmade, the are made very similar to this video except in bigger batches:P I still love my gibson but I can pick up any gibson no matter what the price and point out hundreds of little cost-cutting corners and mistakes, nothing big, but it just makes you wanna cry when you pay that much for a "handmade" mass-produced guitar:p

For the tap test, why do they hit it that hard? If you touch the pole lightly it makes a pop... :P rofl, I love how the narrator failsXD haha, building instruments and working on them is fun, that's what I'm gonna do for a living, I'm an apprentice right now:)

yea i think it is a godin

@OfficialAxid I know lol it was a joke

Thumbs Up if you felt like a smartass because you knew all that already!

Can you believe that? You buy the damn thing! lol Anyway these are highprice guitars for sure!

actually the narrator is referring to a piezoelectric pickup that some godin guitars have built into the actual bridge piece - pickup which is, in fact, very different to the 'bridge position' pickup you are probably mistakenly referring to because of its manner of picking up vibrations and not changes magnetic field and because of it's distinctive 'acoustic guitar' sound it manages to produce i guess it's not the narrator that hasn't got a clue about guitars, huh ?

nope. just chromatic scales

@laskjghlksjghlakjshg i think he mean like inside the bridge like piezo pickups :)

@kaymay12345 nah, carvin is higher quality

0:05 A MANGET? lol

@demonwx10 No, but you are ZiNG

@ynon1 the narrator obviously doesnt know what he's saying. ima guess the others just lie playing with woodshop
