I Built A Guitar Out of 10,000 Leaves

[@DP199121]

That's awesome man! Another great build. Is it just me.. or after watching you build a guitar like that; shouldn't the title of the song be called "Leaf Me A Comment" ... 😅😉

Hello from North Carolina. That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my 64 years of being here, with 57 of those years being a guitar player! Now every time I walk outside and all I see is how many guitars I see laying on the ground under my feet as I walk around!! You did a fantastic job making that guitar like you did. I would have never in a million years thought of doing that. I have thought about getting a bunch of those wooden pallets that a lot of places will give them to you just to get rid of them, and most of them are made from oak too which is about as dense and hard as walnut. Maybe one day I'll build another guitar but this time I'll be on my own. May God bless you and your loved ones with a very happy, joyful, and safe new year!!

[@myforeverwoman-mieternamuj1252]

The look of the leaves and the tone of the guitar is very soothing and warming. What a great idea. I think you should call it "Leaves of Autumn"

[@DeeTee79]

Amazing build. I’m currently building a guitar out of my grandfathers barn wood. I’ve had a leaf I took from the property and wanted to incorporate it somehow. I may add it to it to headstock. If I don’t, I still enjoyed this build, and the knobs were extra special, I may have to get a branch and make some for myself. Thank you for sharing this.

[@vitorstreetboys]

back of headstock per chance may be a nice shy detail

[@DeeTee79]

@@vitorstreetboys I like this idea. How though. Podge? I dont do nitro, could do a clear rattle can, but I wouldnt know how to start

[@coopermowry8813]

Maybe the title of the song should be “From the ground up” because the leaves can from the ground. Something like that. Amazing build. I didn’t think an instrument could be built from dead leaves and wood. Great job.

[@cevinscreativechannel8586]

The wooden knobs are a nice touch 👍

[@RebelScum312]

love this handmade guitar project build, what an awesome & inspired idea! one of a kind million dollar instrument that looks & sounds like a dream. really like the eureka point in the story when i realized you were gluing layers of leaves on both sides of the original slab. would love to see a leaf axe made with a jag/jazzmaster or a firebird offset style, completely beautiful & unique with so much character. of course leaves are wood, look at where they come from!

[@molotulo8808]

What an amazing craftsman (yes, craftsman) you are. My father was a prisoner in Flossenburg concentration camp where he worked in the Mezzerschmitt plant making parts for the ME109. That taught him humility i never saw in anyother than my mother who was an amazing knitter to the point that she owned a yarn shop. My Pacame to the United States in 1950. My Parents worked every day in their lives. My Dad never "partied", he was alworking or fixing something. My mom was very ill her whole life. My Parents never complained. My Dad could make anything out of metal, he was a blue collar worker. He started two businesses with my mom. My parents bought the 60 acres I live on today! They were not rich by any means and never collected any handouts. They had jobs and always worked. At school, when other kids did reports about the people they admired the most, athletes or famous celebrities, I admiired my parents. They were my greatest heros. You remind me of them. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

[@Morganahoornweg]

What an awesome guitar and a unique artistic way of using leaves, it looks and sounds awesome, mellow and jazzy

[@Blietman]

That knobs are awesome! Fits perfectly with the idea. I sometimes dream about making guitars and your work inspires me, great build, thanks for sharing!

[@atavares1989]

Beautiful guitar! Such a clean sound as well. Would call the song Autumn Ballad and the guitar Leavitar (which sound like the Portuguese word levitar - levitate) as its sound made me levitate like a leave :)

[@georgedomse]

I'm by no means az expert on building guitars, but by alll due respect to the craftsmanship and the patience, you built a guitar BODY out of mostly resin. Nevertheless, hats off.

[@MCKazachenka]

Can there be any difference at all on how it sounds? I mean, it's not acoustic literally, the sound is just strings and sound pickups

[@alexisjordan3303]

Wow. This build is poetry. I love the fact that you chose to route only a neck pickup, it goes so well with the leaf theme. Amazing mate.

[@steveschulz3647]

I thought the same thing. It would be weird to have a high output humbucker in the bridge on a guitar like this.

[@chrysis666]

Wow, man, it looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL! That's incredible.

[@RiemerWitteveen]

Nice video! I would've coated all the leaves in epoxy first, before stacking them. When cutting the shape of the body, you can see that there are voids in the laminate. Voids aren't beneficial for sustain, so should you do this again, that might be an idea. The leaves would also have more weight so stacking them is easier and faster and you could do everything in one go.

[@nathanjasper512]

I think the way to do this and avoid... uh voids is to flatten them out just like he did and lay them out in a mold and pour like half an inch or less at a time. Just build it up in layers so the epoxy can sink into all the voids.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

I've seen videos of folks using a vacuum to get all the air out of the epoxy mold while still wet.@@nathanjasper512

[@erikkibler3466]

Taking the phrase,it’s just crazy enough to work to the next level!!! Not to mention it sounded great.great job🤘

[@WilliamBannier]

You should call your composition "Falling Leaves"...... I mean what else would you call it? The guitar is amazing by the way!

that is beautiful and so creative. And you guitar playing is also beautiful.

[@jkr3008]

The idea is crazy, looks so unique and artistic. Your skills are more than impressive as well. But materialwise, leaves turned out to be quite capricious, as far as I can tell. First of all, the structure is really porous and does not look dense (may be wrong there but this is what it looks like from here). And the second issue I noticed - the upper layers of epoxy delaminated a bit here and there. This is probably due to the residual humidity left in the leaves despite the fact they looked so dry. I apologize if this is not the case, just trying to describe what I see. The final result looks so nice that I would say it's worth trying to improve the construction and build mk2, 3, ..,n to reach the best this material could possibly provide us with. Thanks so much for sharing your craftsmanship with us!
