what a cool guitar! Looks and sounds great. And that clip with the glow in the dark black inlays is a game changer! So cool!

Patrick's stuff is next level and has been for years!

That’s really cool. Love the use of old wood on new guitars. Enjoy it!

Better than New Wood on Old Guitars. That’s for sure.

I've been following him for at least a decade. Incredible work he does!

Patrick is an absolute master of his craft. I've followed his work for many many years. 🤘😍🤙🕉️

Absolutely agree. Outstanding craftsman

The Iceman body shape is so underrated and Ibanez doesn't keep enough models in their lineup. That's a pretty neat handmade guitar!.

it's really cool seeing old wood getting reused like this - the colour is fantastic too!

Good thing you had positive things to say about Patrick's guitar. Dude has a history of going full scientology stalker harassing people that have criticisms of his work.

I find it hypocritical. KDH will call put people over tiny offences, yet completely ignores the notorious reputation of this dude.

Brilliant stuff. Thanks for introducing us to Patrick's work. Bleeding beautiful!!! 🤘

Been following Patrick for a few years. Glad to see his work on the channel!

By far my favourite axe you've displayed on your channel. Next level.

I watched this build on his page, had no idea it was for you! You're a lucky man, dude!

I bought one of his attack drop picks after you did a review of those and it's one of my favorite picks now. if I had the money and space for another instrument I'd definitely consider one of his guitars too, but maybe i can scrounge up enough cash for a set of those deathbuckers, i really enjoyed the tone in the first playing segment.

wow! Thank you for sharing Patrick's incredible work. WOW!

Those side inlays that glow is such a small detail that makes the guitar very unique.. Love it 🤘

Cool, Iceman is my favorite extreme shape it’s metal and classy at the same time, and that one looks fantastic.

I have seen some of his work before BUT this is a true gem! VERY NICE BUILD!!!!

I checked the instagram and the website gallery - wow these are all beautiful! Even if I'm not looking for a new guitar right now I like seeing cool stuff, thanks for sharing!

Great guy and the most awesome builds. I know him from Facebook and support him ever since!

That’s awesome. Love his glow in the dark inlays as well.

Thanks for sharing!! That's one heck of a guitar and I like it a lot! Thanks to you I bought a few picks from Patrick and I love his work. Edited to add, CUTE CAT!!

Awesome 😎 🎸 I personally liked the glow in the dark fret board inlays Patrick showed on a guitar he just built. The guitar is definitely a conversation piece Sounds Good as well...Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶

This is perhaps one of the coolest instruments I've ever seen!

Maybe the most beautiful instruments are those one-of-a-kind that were made with love and the mind of a creative. Just stunning. Maybe the first Iceman-style guitar I can say I really love the look of.

I was on the website. Really wonderful and unique guitars. The glow in the dark inlays are great.

Really good guitar. Looks cool..sounds awesome and the idea of using sustainable and reclaimed materials is awesome!

Always interesting, always funny. All the best K!

Very cool. You could get a similar exposed grain finish through the Japanese process of Shou Sugi Ban. Media blasting goes a long way too.

True, and then use a mild acid like AC vinegar to react with the tannins in the wood to darken it up.

It’s a piece of Schmid.

It was made in the Schmidhaus out of turd generation brown wood! The top is nice and flush pardon the pun. It’s an awful looking yoke in all fairness and I thought Chapman guitars were bad. A waste of a Hipshot bridge!

Patrick knows his stuff, including which guituber🤭 will genuinely promote his work. Well done, both of you.

That black glow in the dark fretboard was amazing. Would look very cool on stage

That is what a real craftsman can create , utterly stunning 👏

Waouhh ! So cool ! That guy made a fuck*********n' great work on that guitar !!! ... and that neck with the glowing inlays ... so cool !

Patrick has been a friend of mine for years…and I think that he’s a true visionary and innovator. Everything he makes is a one of a kind instrument. Enjoy your new guitar!

I have alot of old wood like that around my old ranch from the 1920's my house was built in 1875,so there is so much history and old wood boards from old structures, it's funny I was recently thinking of utilizing this old lumber for a guitar body or two! That's a great guitar man..👍🎸🍻

Very cool guitar. It's nice to see a maker staying away from the usual fender or gibson clone.

YO! That black glow in the dark stuff is amazing! These kinds of guitars fit KDH very well. I can appreciate the top and appointments even though I wouldn’t buy a guitar like it. I’m too dang stubborn and I love my Strats and LP’s.

Bro, this is a real guitar gear review channel!!! The best of the best!!!

ooooh ive been waiting for this!

Very nice instrument. I like that there are no brand names to be seen. A matching headstock would have looked great!

That's one of the most beautiful, coolest and unique guitar that I've ever seen. I really love the whole concept and the idea, definitely Patrick Schmid is a talented and unique luthier, I really like to have at least a plectrum of him but I think it's quite difficult for me :(.

This is the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. And looks like it's worth about $10k

I knew as soon as i saw the thumbnail the top reminded me of barnwood. Thats a radical guitar bro hope it becomes a big part of the actual music an not just a wall decoration

I love the design aesthetic on that guitar. I don't think I've ever come across an instrument that was dead perfect to me. Until that guitar. Granted I've never played it, touched it or seen it with my own eyes (which is a form of touch. really!) but as far as I can tell every element of it has been carefully considered and I wouldn't change it. That doesn't sound like a big deal but I buy & sell tons of instruments and have for just about the last 25 years, so the number of instruments (guitars & basses of every imaginable origin & configuration, state of repair, value, etc.) hmmm... I don't know precisely but we're talking Wilt Chamberlin numbers here.... I doubt that i've had hands on many valued over $5k USD at the time I owned them anyways... perhaps 10-20 in that range and maybe that makes the difference because once you get to like Custom Shop or Master Built level I'm likely not going to be making choices that 'improve' an instrument in any tangible way, it'd only be changing something to better meet my personal preferences. but anyways, for me & my aesthetic that guitar is about as perfect as possible. Thanks for sharing it and of course, much gratitude to Patrick for having the refined taste, the vision and the ability to execute to bring something so perfect from the mental realm into physical existence. Amazing work!! If only I could afford to have him build one for me. I'll keep on dreaming... or even better have a go at creating something similar myself!

i have checked the webpage. really nice guitar work. super.

It's simply gorgeous! 😎👍 I've always had a soft spot for "odd" shapes (i.e. non Tele, Strat or LP), and I'd love to have a good Iceman-shaped guitar....

ok that glow inlay is awesome lol, even in bedroom settings when i just want to play with the light dim or off this would be perfect!

What a gorgeous guitar!!!

I love that top. It's beautiful. I've never liked the Iceman shape, but I like this guitar.

I love the shape, aesthetically. But in practicality, I worry the balance would be off, given how low down on the fretboard the first strap button is. That’s why guitars with longer horns usually feel better standing up. I have a T style guitar that suffers a slight balance issue like this. Simply using schaller strap locks to effectively make my strap sit above the button has done so much and that only loves the horn up about a fret and a half. feels pretty good now, but still considering making my own extension that doesn’t look overly out of place.. Anyway sorry thanks

I like Black Ebony but the light or striped Ebony is also gorgeous.

I love that he didn't ruin it with binding. I dislike binding.

Nicely done

That, would be a family heirloom. Stunning!

Been following him for a while as well, very cool dude

Those Deathbuckers 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude. That intro is F@ckin killer. I seriously listen to it twice before watching the video. Dude that needs to be a song 🔥🔥🔥🤘 That guitar looks ultra premium ❤️

Swiss goodness greetings from switzerland

I really like review, especially your way of playing seventeen by winger as pickup sample. keep on

The intro is literally “Sing with me” by Santa Cruz lol. Amazing guitar!

the shedcaster, loving it

Thing of pure beauty!!

To say that there's no monetary compensation for the video is a bit rich when you're given a one of a kind instrument worth more than the average Monthly salary where you live.

Those inlays are sick

Lace Alumitone Humbuckers really brought my Epi LP & SG to life, quite affordable too.

I don't normally get over interested but I will be checking to see if I can get one of those for left hand. So many of the guitars I see on KZread don't.

I'd love to learn to solo and lead like you from you ! Dude you rock ! oh and cool guitar !

A few years ago some 150 yr old Pondarosa Pine came up for sale. Snatched up a bunch.

I built a Tele out of 200+ year old pine reclaimed from a house on South Texas coastline. Odd caramel coloring from submersion in saltwater from multiple hurricane surges in 90 years it was wallstuds in the house. Left all the surface grain in also.

I like the way he sets up the plug for the guitar. It's not down low which I like

Nice🤘🤘

those inlays are sick! well the whole thing is sick but glowing inlays cool lol

Guy is a mad scientist artist....

very cool. alotta hours went into that

Gave you a sub as you're Irish so automatically cool. Amazing axe btw.

The fretboard looks great!

I'd LOVE to be able to afford one of his guitars. Just have to settle for a few of his awesome Plectrums instead. Highly recommend the 10mm

there was a semi short lived brand of guitars called Langcaster from New Zealand made from swamp Kauri, a big type of tree that was carbon dated to have grown on the planet 35000 years ago before being buried in swamps to be dug up after 35000 years, no jokes, the wood is incredible and super heavy . ive played a couple and have some bits of the swamp kauri with certificates of its age .

Love it

I really like the aesthetic. I've never played a guitar with locking tuners tbh. Them being cylindrical is an interesting idea. The toggle looks a little far away judging by the footage of you playing it there and live. The lightness of it is a definite plus. If I could, I'd change the strap holder positions to promote a more high headstock playing position because that suits my limited thumb range when playing. Playing classical-style high headstock makes it easier to play with my thumb at the back of the neck so that I can have a normal range over the 6 strings with my other 4 fingers. Cradling the neck doesn't suit my left hand at all except for certain lead techniques such as bending. That's the thing I obsess about with every guitar I look at.

Oh f🤘🏻ck 😮😮 the iceman is such a cool body shape!

The Starchild would approve! \m/

I thought that logo seemed familiar! I remember seeing the massive picks he made out of ever more exotic plastics and composites.

Is there anywhere i can find the backing track for the demo you played in the beginning? I want to try and learn some parts of the solo you played and playing to the backing track would help a lot.

The Iceman shape is one of the coolest looking guitars I have ever seen. And my 70s Iceman I got used, post 70s, is the best balanced guitar I have played The things he’s done differently sound cool. I’d like to try one out, to see what it’s like I have tried alumatone pickups & I do like them I prefer separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, but that’s not a deal breaker Thanks for sharing this

Very nice.

Sweet one of a kind piece never seen a deathbucker in the neck position got me curious how that sounds

Glad to see that the old, dry and brittle wood is just the top. I would imagine that a guitar built only with that wood would resonate very poorly in the mids and lows. But it looks really cool as a top. I see that the rest of the guitar is mahogany, which is nice.

I get the aesthetic appeal of the nut, but the slots are too deep. The top should have been sanded down more so the strings aren't buried in the plastic to create less opportunity for hangup.

Very cool! The mahogany on the back was gorgeous. What was the finish on the mahogany? It looks like maybe danish oil? The top reminds me of an Explorer that Ken Lawrence made for James Hetfield. The top was made from wood from the garage where Metallica used to rehearse when Cliff Burton was in the band. Cliff’s family saved some of the wood when they tore the garage down.

120 years is about the time since last upload

Amazing. The top is ok by the 35 year old deck I replaced has boards like that. Lol

This... is pretty cool

That black glow in the dark material is pretty cool. I've known of Hufschmid for years now. I'm sure they are great guitars, but many times they can be a bit underwhelming for such expensive guitars. This paricular isn't underwhelming though. And there isn't that much custom options to customize the builds. Like last time I checked he only makes them out of mahogany and not many other wood options for other parts of the guitar either. Most of the time it's also just a plain mahogany body, very premium looking mahogany but no flames or such. But he has a theme and identity in his builds, which I do appreciate and I've heard nothing but great things about his guitars but they can be a little monotone in appearance.

Reminds me of the Hetfield explorer he had made out of the old garage they used to play in.

Id love to buy a sheet of that glow in the dark inlay material. Might ask pat if i can buy some from him

Very cool looking guitar, and nice talking piece. I'd probably put different pickups in.
