Building an ENTIRE guitar out of GLASS!

I see this video as my humble beginnings. A lot has changed since making this video.
I made this video to demonstrate how I build a glass guitar. Not acrylic, not resin, GLASS!!! The headstock, neck, fretboard, and body are all made of glass. I hope you enjoy the video. Also I have a new video out! • Building A GLASS! Guit...

An idea for you. Multi-colored led lighting that can flash on tempo or with sound. If you ask me, it would have amazing potential through the neck as well. The necks that you sell with lighting just seems next generation to me.

[@smoorej]

Beautiful instrument; I’ve worked with glass a bit and I never would have imagined it as a material for any musical instrument, especially a guitar. Your workmanship is astonishing and the finished guitar is truly a work of art.

[@MorningstarGlassGuitars]

To address comments regarding durability and the like I'd like to say the following. there's not that much force/tension applied by the strings. 100 to 150 pounds spread out over the length of the guitar. The force is trying to push the neck and body together more than trying to lift it up and away. grab your guitar and lift the strings out of the nut slots. easy right? now go grab a beer bottle and try to break it in half with your own hands. really get some leverage on it. chances are it didn't break. worth noting the pressure inside a champagne bottle is around 80-100psi. they don't explode spontaneously. if you drop one it makes a mess but it's not like a bomb going off. furthermore large aquariums, 90 gallons of water(1000lbs) encased by 1/4 inch thick sheets of glass. they withstand all that pressure. My necks are over 3/4" thick. they're strong. Glass isn't as weak as people think. Many people keep commenting about it so I needed to state my case. I'll address their durability in a later video, on my website and other places as needed.

[@johncaccioppo1142]

It's an impressive craft you have learned, how did you get into this?

[@MorningstarGlassGuitars]

@@johncaccioppo1142 Graduated college with a bachelor's in biology. then worked as a lab tech doing cell culture and working with viral vectors. was laid off a few years ago and struggled to find another job in my field. job hopped a fair amount to make ends meet. worked in a window repair shop for a few months. learned some basic glass working skills, read trade magazines and product catalogues when things were slow. After that I just googled stuff. tried stuff out and learned through trial and error

[@johncaccioppo1142]

@@MorningstarGlassGuitars Awesome journey! Thanks for sharing. BTW I have to agree with some of these comments about safety. I think there is a safer way to do everything and sometimes it restricts our progress but it's certainly worth the effort in the long run. I work in a coal plant and silicosis is a very real concern for me. Stay safe!

[@MorningstarGlassGuitars]

@@johncaccioppo1142 sure thing however I've looked into the health hazards of glass dust that I get exposed to extensively. glass after being melted down contains amorphous silica. amorphous silica doesn't cause silicosis. crystalline silica on the other hand is common fairly common in other things. If it makes you feel any better I had to buy a respirator anyway because i can't find any N95 masks.

[@MorningstarGlassGuitars]

@Godis Mytower I dunno. I can't bring myself to break a finished one on purpose. I mean I know they're strong enough to withstand normal playing and bumping into things. getting a number on how much pressure would break it would depend on where the pressure is applied and if it's concentrated or spread out. it's hard to test something like that but i've done my own stress testing that goes beyond normal playing. so if it's cared for properly my guitars and necks are fine.

Your tool jigs alone is worthy of high praise (of course how you employ them to create a one-of-a-kind instrument is beyond impressive).

The fretboard jig was the most serendipitous thing I’ve ever experienced. I originally intended to use a Diamond router bit but was unsuccessful. The angle grinder mounted on the same jig was my last ditch effort to radius the fretboard. Still can’t believe it worked and I use the original jig to this day.

One thing I think is really cool about this guitar is that you can see the palm of players left hand, looking through the fretboard and neck.

[@blahblahsen1142]

as a luthier and woodworker, there is just so much nope involved with glass, you couldn't pay me enough to take part in any of these steps. no amount of masks, goggles, or air filters could posses me to do this. the work and quality here is impressive, but you may regret this entire concept when you're older if you dont take every possible safety precaution imaginable, and maybe invent a few extras not yet thought-of. you're basically playing with something that wants very badly to detonate into needles and razor blades that the human body cant chemically break down or absorb. every dust particle of glass you inhale, is just there permanently. steel rusts and dissolves, wood digests and decays, glass is forever. my grandma was a glass-worker and she died of silicosis about 3 years back. lady survived having 3 kids without medical care, took an arrow to the leg and doctored it herself and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes since she was 12 and didnt get everything-cancer... but breathing in glass dust was responsible for her last 4 hours of life spent on a respirator. glass is nasty stuff, even if you dont slip and lose a finger, or make a bad stomp and cripple your foot. i'm just saying, you cant be too careful around glass. it's an art medium that constantly wants to kill you. it tends to succeed, and it's insanely patient. every guitar under tension is a Claymore mine with a fuse of 0-2 years and it ticks silently. i'm very familiar with what string tension does to wood and steel over time, even with truss rods and carbon fiber struts, and i've seen guitar necks that were left alone for a few weeks and took a half inch bow. you're basically applying the same force to that neck as if you had it between concrete blocks and was standing on it. if you wouldn't confidently stand on that neck free-floating, then i wouldn't tension that and walk away, and i wouldn't be in the same room with one under tension without goggles.

[@blahblahsen1142]

@@noexpert1481 i mean...how can it be? you can see through the thing and there's no steel core or anything. Glass is actually very stiff and rigid and hard to bend, it's just that when you do finally bend it, it explodes into knives and needles. so there's that. a glass neck would be stiffer then wood, but when wood bends it just bends, and glass...um, protests more dramatically.

new life goal as a struggling artist who is ALWAYS looking for " that perfect guitar" : own one of these before i die. these are amazing. i want one with a mirrored back and a "two way mirrored top with LED lights in between to make it a "infinity mirror glass guitar" but yeah i absolutely will have to own one of these before i die. loved this video so much i went and found your company so i can. lol absolutely incredible work man. holy shit these are nothing short of spectacular.

Dragonscale is better for maneuverability, which you generally want for a rock concert.
