How To Make The Simplest Electric Guitar - DIY Guitar From An Old Wooden Board
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I made a minimalist electric guitar, and I want to share with you how I made it. There is nothing superfluous in it - only the minimum set that is needed for an electric guitar.
People love different shapes of guitars. Someone likes Gibson SG, Les Paul, Explorer or Flying V. Someone likes Fender Strat or Telecaster, Mustang or Jazzmaster. Someone likes Superstrats, crazy BC Rich Warlock or Mockingbird. And I thought: what if I make a DIY guitar without a body at all. Well, more precisely, it will have a body, but a minimalist and simplest one - so that only the most necessary things fit on it.
It's kind of like a cigar box guitar, but without the box.
To make the body, I found an old wooden board (about 10 centimeters wide). Therefore, I think that this recycled project can definitely be called Trash to Treasure. I also used the cheapest single pickup (about $4) and the cheapest Fixed Non String Through Hardtail Bridges I could find ($10). The most expensive part of the guitar is the neck. I used an old neck from an old cheap Harley Benton guitar (the whole guitar was less than $60).

I respect the creativity of the project (and mean no offense to the creator of the video! great work!) but it would be kind of insane to claim that the clean tone here is anywhere near the quality of a proper guitar or that this proves/disproves anything about guitar construction or materials...

This is very creative!!!
AWESOME PROJECT!!!... WHEN LESS IS MORE!!!... YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!... THANKS FOR SHARING!!!... Greetins from Argentina!...
Very inspirational and cool. Thanks
Awesome!👍🏻
Very well done, that's some good sound from a couple of pieces of wood!
Whoa 🤯- I never would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes 👀 and heard it with my own ears… 👂
Qué buena idea!!
_Membumi,_ down to earth. Respect.
That’s really cool! I recently stripped a custom epiphone les Paul from its hardware because the neck was completely done for, and now I’m also making a DIY guitar from it 😂
Tonewood choice & Masterworks & Signature ... hottest ingredients ever! Coolest project: respect, man!
Super 👍👍👍 dobrá práce 👍👍👍
That is cool .can you set the action and intonation? The action was purdy high
Интересное изобретение👍
Love your project ideas - simplicity perfected! By the way how did you get that mythical magical bird delay pedal? Glad to see someone other than me also using the super slinky gauge.

First of all, I just love these strings. I have tried many different brands and gauges. But when I first tried super slinky - it was WOW! Now all other brands and gauges do not exist for me. Now, about the bird. Well, everybody know that the bird is the... You know... But to be honest, it's just a Screaming Bird Booster. And finally, thank you very much.

What did you understand while screwing bridge on? I mean, point of double 1/2 scale should be: in the middle of the tuning saddles (on a bridge) / at the closest to zero fret point / closer to back guitar strap buckle?
Ok you numbone guita!!!!!❤
Very cool, but is there a way to put a volume and 2 tone knobs ?

2 tone knobs? That's not a nice way to refer to the members of Madness!
Genial! How to find the right distance of total strings length (from top to down)?
@fatroberto3012

On all guitars, the 12th fret is half the distance from the inside edge of the nut to the point the strings touch the bridge. So the bridge position is set by whatever neck you choose. Give yourself room to adjust the intonation before you measure.
Hi, thanks for the idea! One question, where did you find just the fretboard of the guitar separated from the rest of the body?

For electric guitars, tone wood’s effects are greatly exaggerated. See Jim Lill.
It's wrong! You need a Alder wood to be right. And that bridge is not Gotoh. And this cap...

@@MrHardguitar Sorry if I offended you? Was not my intention to do that. Yeah Boss; it absolutely can be played as a lap guitar, I was just saying that a lap guitar's action is so high that it can't be chorded with your fingers, Like the old "Hawaii lap steel's were slide only" But your creation you can obviously do both like a dobro.

No, you didn't offend me at all. I'm really not very familiar with slide guitars and lap steel guitars. I even got to read a bit about them yesterday. Now I have become a little wiser. Thank you.
Did this back when the pawn shops really loved buying my guitars..... I made one so ugly and simple, no one wanted it.
