First song in demo is a riff based on Michael Lemmo's Danelectro Baritone LEMMO DEMO- love his playing

The orange copper edge breaking through the bindings looks amazing. Incredible work as usual!

Such a unique design for this guitar. BurlsArt never lets us down. 😃

This channel inspired me to build my own 8 string guitar. I always thought if this guy can build a guitar out of gumbballs, legos, or epoxy, I can at least build one. Amazing work on this

Did you build the neck? I've looked into building 7 and 8 string guitars before, but the necks and hardware are always either shockingly expensive or a pain to find

[@t.i.m.theincrediblemusicia3954]

This is without question, my all-time favorite guitar that Burls Art has ever built. The colors and sound just flow so incredibly well.

[@R3dgarnet]

AGREED

[@00TheRealTC]

That is one very pretty guitar. It's really cool how the bluing of the copper definitely looks like water and the edges look like silty sandbars. For all the trial and error with that part of the build, I think the result is extremely unique and interesting. Thanks once again for sharing your talents with us.

[@kylerbrack7435]

That's what i thought when I saw it. The colors go perfect together. I wonder if it'll change over time

[@thetincan_man]

I've watched you since the first video you made back in 2019 and somehow you only continue to get better and better at this. You take the concept of functional art to a whole other level, great job man you've really out done yourself

[@jjbinks]

Thanks to Burls Art and Tchiks Guitars as inspiration, I've now made 6 of my very own guitars. Thanks for all the entertainment and content!

[@rylanlacroix9640]

how did you do that I'm curious I wanna try

[@m7alan7johnson7]

A sulfer patina is gorgeous. Brings out purples, reds, greens and blues. Almost like it is presently being heated by fire with that glow that happens to metal as it burns. Love this build!

[@GitaraMaker]

Ebony is really hard to work with when inserting the frets, you can file the fret slots using a triangle file so it's easier to hammer them in. Once again a very beautiful and unique guitar, and skillful playing at the end.

[@jeroens9160]

I love that you also explain what didn't work. It makes your work even more insightful

[@StarDarps]

this has to be my favorite guitar of yours yet. it looks absolutely stunning!

[@osmium7738]

Wow, that's just gorgeous. The copper patina is lovely, and the charcoal texture is so subtle. I also love baritones, and this demo was great, Probably my favorite guitar you've made so far!

[@tigerboi9694]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! I love how you incorporate the different elements together and it all flows so smoothly.

[@rw9495]

That came out so cool!! I really love the contrast between the patina on the copper and the literal charcoal top, and the two tone neck ties it all together, great build!

[@guitarzleo]

Beautiful job! I like how you experiment with different materials and techniques from one build to another and how you always find your way around bumps and unsuccessful attemps. That patina river is awesome! Congratulations!

[@delanask]

The copper color where the inlay meets the edge of the guitar pops so hard, it looks incredible. I think this is the best I've ever seen a guitar match it's sound, it just works so well for that smooth baritone in that first part of your demo. Really beautiful work

[@nicadams6126]

So sophisticated! Love the repetition of the charcoal in the dye of the bird’s eye neck, the slivers of copper on the guitar’s sides. Well done!

[@Mankindux]

This is by far the most beautiful work you've ever done.

[@sebuteo]

Wow! Fantastic project. Looks and sounds beautiful. Great work, sir!

[@MarclenChin]

This has to be my favorite one you've made....it's just beautiful and elegant and poetic even

[@iseanlal]

Been around watching your videos since the very first, so awesome to see how creative you continue to be on every new piece of art. Super inspiring my guy, so much fun to watch!

[@mamseb3691]

I love that you used what you’ve seen in nature as a big inspiration for your art. Amazing guitar!

[@KrazeeeOne]

Dude, this isn't just one of your best, this is one of the coolest guitars ever for me. Not just the design, but the method and materials used to achieve this is just so flippin cool. Well done.

[@dan725]

Holy crap. You sir, are a MASTER. So incredibly talented and creative. Loved every second of this video!

[@matthewcoons4718]

The wait is always worth it, and this one did not disappoint. This has to be my favorite design and look. Very cool.

[@kyriakoschristoforou8637]

Defo the most creative guitar I've ever seen. Love the design you went with, absolutely amazing

[@lavanski]

I've just recently discovered your work. I'm in awe of your artistry, imagination, skill, craft, intuition, and creativity. I've seen a few of your videos of you going through your processes, and it's wonderful to watch. First of all, congratulations for creating truly beautiful instruments, which are without doubt works of art. Secondly, hats of to you for your skill, care, and attention to detail in the making of these instruments which aren't just a gimmick, but can be played. Last, but far from least, I love hearing your demos of the instruments you make. You're clearly an accomplished musician, and it's truly amazing that you have enough time to be so skilled as both a maker and a player! Love what you're doing 👏🎸🎩

[@maddy4410]

Love this project, as a guitar enthusiast it would be a dream to own a burls guitar!

[@4xdblack]

This was absolutely your best one yet. What a work of art

[@BynoOfficial]

This is without question my favorite guitar you've made. So much time and so much creativity. I never would have thought of this. Good job dude.

I'd binged all your build videos and now you've uploaded a new one Much love ❤

[@johnmcinnis1922]

This is so sick. My favorite of yours to date. Absolutely rad.

[@Blaize24]

This is my favorite guitar you've built - and I love many, many of them. This one is really special.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

She's a real beauty. I wasn't convinced about the fade on the back of the neck as I watched you stain it but the finished neck really does pop. Well done.

[@autistYuki]

This has to be my favourite guitar building video out of any other out there. Its the most beautiful guitar I've seen ever

[@qui_dit_ben4528]

This is... gorgeous. There is no other way to say it - I genuinely believe that this is the best design and end product you're presented so far on KZbin!! I'll admit, I was a little sceptical of the river pattern when you were first cutting it out and how it contrasted with the burnt wood, but after the process to 'blueify' it, I am just blown away: the copper absolutely sells the river effect - stunning!! Sorry if I'm gushing too much (haha, water pun). But seriously, I am just floored! I cannot wait to see how you develop new ideas and prove me wrong over and over again. Oh, and as always - I love the demos at the end, they are such a treat!

[@chrisdrake447]

Stunning! Thought that massive body block of maple would give the guitar a very trebley voice, but the clarity it imparts to the baritone is phenomenal.

[@beastbeatsgamers6065]

been watching for a while now. your guitars craftmanship always manages to surprise me! looks beautiful well done!!

[@FraustByte]

Burls I love this piece. I love how the not so affected copper flows and forms banks of the river. This piece reminds me a lot my uncle who capsized and drowned white water rafting in Oregon in 92.

[@Breepable17]

it's beyond cool seeing how far you've come since that very first guitar :D love the videos, keep up the good work!

[@Szujhinzu]

What a fantastic work, my dude. You never let us down. It's crazy how the patina on the river got nearly perfect the third time, it really looks like a river with a bit of silt travelling along.

[@esaef91]

This is by far the most beautiful guitar you've made in my opinion.

Absolutely Astonishing! (nice demo at the end, too!)

[@th.nd.r]

Utterly incredible. So many cool ideas throughout and executed so well. The petina!!!

[@RebelScum312]

this build has so much depth to it, the copper with the turquoise patina was really inspired. loved the chemistry experimentation to get the look & feel you were going for, the effect of the glossy finish with the charcoal mosiac underlying the top surface, & the burned gradient fade to natural birdseye on the backside of the neck. didn't even mind the product placement from your sponsor since you used that time to show around your place, looks like a sweet spot to live, work & develop your art. always enjoy these videos & hearing the riffs on the guitars at the end is icing on the cake, nice change up this time with the baritone! looking forward to many more builds to come. 🎸🏗🎨🍻🙏

[@garrettguitar]

That's interesting, your comment about the grinder, as it's something I also have been doing. At first I went back and forth over whether it would be too harsh or not, but in the end I gave it a shot and it sands out very nicely. I have now been using it for about a year. Very cool build! I love the contrasting colors!

[@Rodrat]

It's so amazing how that final buffing makes somerhing so hideous become so beautiful. I was convinced nothing was going to come out well on this but you manage to impress me every single time.

You captured the image perfectly in that guitar, it looks very much indeed like a river flowing in the aftermath of a wildfire. I think it's one of the most visually striking pieces you've made so far, love it.

[@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician]

This is, undoubtely, the most beautiful piece of a guitar I've ever seen. And it's a baritone! I'm saying this after watching hundreds of videos from Crimson Guitars, GGBO and so on.

[@BlueSOF]

The river reminds me of where Pine Creek meets the Sacramento at Scotty’s Landing. I love the alligator skin look of the charred wood under the clear epoxy. The finished reveal of the guitar is absolutely stunning!
