How I MAKE a PREMIUM Pallet GUITAR

In this new video I am going to create a premium guitar with recycled material, 2 pallets and some olive wood scraps. It's going to be a PRSish guitar.
In this video you can see the entire process of building the guitar, from start to finish, with very detailed shots.
I hope you enjoy it.

Guitar luthiers are a rare breed. As a jeweler and guitar player, I love your detail orientation. It was an absolute pleasure to watch you work.

[@Nordenjung]

I have to admit, when the video was suggested to me, my first thought was: another new clip in which someone builds something out of pallet wood. I looked at it out of curiosity and I have to say: my utmost respect! you could feel the passion you had for this project while watching. At first I thought that would not work with softwood for a guitar neck, but the carbon fiber idea is brilliant! I think the workmanship is first class, you brought in very good ideas and produced an excellent finish. I also have to commend your very detailed video work, you certainly put just as much work into it as you did into building the instrument. If you don't yet earn money with building guitars, then have courage and start with it!

[@NoeHervas]

Thank you very much for such a nice comment my friend, I really appreciate it

Idiot de prendre des palettes de mauvais bois pour utiliser une fortune d'appareils de menuiserie et de faire une belle guitare sans valeur et de ne même pas l'entendre jouer. C'est idiot votre vidéo.

[@xSamWaynex]

When I was in high school I made an acoustic guitar. It was modeled after a Martin D-18. My finished product was no where near to your level. Fantastic work.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

making the neck to me would not be the problem. what bothers me is fitting the neck to the body and keeping everything square. then making the finger board and dressing the frets, that bothers me. i have some basic carving skills and tools, so making the form for the body and bending the sides is not a problem. and i am talking about an acoustic guitar, classical or an arch top jazz guitar.

[@daysgonesequel]

I've always wanted to open my own guitar shop, building custom guitars and picks. You did a great job, and didn't miss any small details, amazing!

How Creative, you are a Master Builder, totally Stunning, I was surprised that you wound your own Pickups, you hardly see a builder do this, i love the Purple Heart, and the color on the top, what is the weight of the Guitar? I cannot wait to hear it, thanks for this Great video, Cousin Figel

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Watched to end. Very cool and beautiful! Thank you for showing us the journey. Content Idea: Go over your tools. How you got into guitar making. How you learned. How you acquired. Using each of your tools to explain/elaborate. From a bandsaw to your favorite chisel (if you have one :) ). Why you keep them and any innovative uses you have for them. Make them come alive like you do your guitars. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Wanted to watch this so bad, been in my list for ages, just can’t because of the awful music! What a shame!

[@ernestseemann3480]

How do you know when you are watching a true devotee of a craft? Well I would say someone with a professional wood shop that does so much of the work with hand tools is a very good indicator that we have a true devotee of his craft at hand. I bet this person hand scrapes wood also. I would take my hat off to you Sir if I had one handy. Good work! And thanks for the set list. I would end up with a week of trying to figure out what these ear worms were if not for the set list. Keeping it 100 for sure

[@smeyer7068]

I was just blown away by what you've done here. Absolutely incredible work. I watched the whole thing start to finish. I think it's the best of guitar build videos on YT.

This is one of the highest quality pallet guitar builds I have ever seen. If this is a relatives shop they definitely taught you everything right. I would argue you could make a pretty good living buildings guitars of this quality.

Hola amigo! Mas que maravilloso el trabajo. Meticuloso y se ve que lo has disfrutado mucho. Me dedico a la reparacion de instrumentos. Soy músico guitarrista.Nunca construi. Es un tema pendiente.Lo de las maderas y mucha cosa como seguramente tu lo sabes, tiene mucho de mito. De hecho adquirí una guitarra mas China imposible y hoy es mi instrumento de cabecera. Para trabajar en el vivo o en estudio. Muchos colegas comentan incredulos lo bien que funciona. Sin cambiar nada, la guitarrita copia de strato, paso adelante de una Ibanezque tengo, de prinera linea con LoPro Edge y todo... Por eso entiendo y valoro muchisimo lo que has hecho. Felicitaciones!!! Gran trabajo!!!

[@MrHaggyy]

Never ever have i seen a pallet in this good shape. Even new ordered are already moist, a bit splittered and cheaply limed and nailed together from any excess wood others threw away. But real nice and hard work you put into this guitar. Turned out really nice.

[@Mavarla]

Dude, you're a GENIUS...and you're left-handed, like me---no surprise there!

[@MaartenAnna]

Though I'm not convinced about the red colour, I think it's a great project. The neck is awesome, loooooove the fretboard, shape & the body itself. The elctronics are pretty cool too. I have some scrap ply wood, shelves, old cutting board, etc. As well as two bookmarked 5mm pieces of birdseye maple to use as the top. I'm thinking a Les Paul inspired project.

[@NoeHervas]

Thanks! Thant project could be awesome

[@unknownsong2318]

What a talent! This guitar just came out beautiful, a true work of art of a talented artist/craftsman. Makes me wish I had a space and tools for projects like this.

Hey Johnny, um yeah, yer boss called, he told me he needs his pallet back, they have a big shipment of widgets and he needs 1 more pallet. Thanks! Just kidding, you have the skills to pay the bills. Im nervous around circular saws, I knew an aviation mechanic that only has 3 fingers on one hand. That guitar looks like a "high end" priced guitar found in the premium sections of guitar stores. The red looks fine, excellent job!!!!!!

[@Rick-if5zb]

You know what would be ironic? To find out that the pallets this guitar was made from were the same pallets that were used to ship factory made guitars. Just sayin'.

[@cassiuswilliams6633]

Pallets can be used to make great guitars. You just proven a point that you don't need exotic wood to make a remarkable guitar.

[@voornaam3191]

Ehm, Ryan, how about BUYING one? Find his contact data. I bet he wants to build one for YOU. At least you can ask for more information. You can even ask things you'd think embarassing (like, I don't like this or that, can't you do it another way for me) for the Dutch do like you saying anything you'd have on your mind. Don't wait, don't hesitate, it is appreciated when you present any problem, no matter what. In other words, no need be shy. That's Dutch culture. For real.

Si, il legno iniziale e rimediato, ma il materiale che hai usato dopo, e soprattutto le attrezzature e le strumentazioni, sono di altissimo livello, degni di un'officina professionale, e quelli non li ha quasi nessuno, e non si trovano di certo tra gli scarti da buttare, come il legno iniziale!
