[@Jackass_of_DOOM]

BTW, for anyone curious, you can calculate the distance from the bridge any fret should be with this: scale length/2^(x/12). X is the fret number. Also, you can subtract this result from the scale length to get the distance from the nut. For example, on a 25.5 inch scale guitar, to find the first fret, just type into the calculator 25.5/2^(1/12), and it's about 24.07 inches away from the bridge or 1.43 away from the nut. Anyway, great video!

I’m so disappointed that you didn’t call the fretboard ‘the threatboard’ This was awesome dude, so entertained the entire video.

[@drpibisback7680]

Rob detailing all of the ways the Eye Gouger could stab him was way funnier than it should have been.

[@GuitarmanIeuan]

I was crying

[@xSamWaynex]

Rob: Basically if I do *anything* this could stab me in the face.

Simon has such a cool voice for some reason, I'm obsessed with it

[@althejazzman]

I love how knowledgeable and experienced Simon is, just not quite in the right areas.

[@fajaradi1223]

Yeah... It's like asking plumber to do a gas piping work Edit : high pressure gas piping work

“i played guitar for like 8 years and i didn’t even know what a truss rod was so i don’t think it matters” i’d hate to see whatever guitars you were playing

[@drpibisback7680]

I'm sure they had truss rods and he just didn't pay attention to them.

[@zerofox641]

I mean I also went a few years without knowing what a truss rod was. I played an SG when I started and never knew until I took it in for a repair and the guy showed me how to remove the cover and adjust it

[@ryanchalker8196]

@@zerofox641 ya I agree I’ve been playin for a year or so and I know what it is but have never messed with it. I think he had one and just didn’t know what it was for cause u can’t play classical guitars for 8 straight lmao

[@barretprivateer8768]

@@ryanchalker8196 It's literally one of the easiest things to adjust on the entire guitar. Why is everyone scared of it. Set your neck relief, it's probably fucked.

[@RubberSalt]

Had my Gibson SG for 15 years, never had to adjust the truss rod since I got it. Come to think of it... I've only had to adjust 1 of my guitars to make it playable.

...this is the most metal guitar ever. It will chug, but it will take your blood.

Brand name: Tallon = Taylor Scallon. Sounds more metal to me.

I feel like it's more chaotic neutral, tbh. He's not inherently doing evil things. Just whatever he wants, because he can lol

[@florianbeguin]

This gave me strong The Office vibe when Michael was making his own company

Next time Rob plays a normal guitar he's going to have to fight though PTSD just to attempt a slide.

[@logankeilty4529]

Watching them make this guitar is reminding me of that feeling you get when you're trying to finish a school project at 3 in the morning on the day it's due...

[@altrumodi5694]

They are fucking geniuses, genuinely.

[@klaxoncow]

That's Dr. Brian May, I think you'll find. He went back to complete his astrophysics doctorate after a short sabbatical... where he was Queen's guitarist for several decades.

[@stuarcari]

While no doubt they were geniuses, they also took like 2 years to build it, rather than 1 day lol

Waiting to see what Ichika can do with this.

[@elijah_guitar1482]

ive been playing guitar for four years. i always put off learning about wiring and the insides because it seemed really intimidating. This video inspired me to build my own very basic guitar.

[@spartanguitarist6579]

me too, i like using the router

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

The wiring in a guitar is literally as simple of a circuit you can get. It's basically just a potentiometer, probably 10k ohms
