I Built a FIRE and EPOXY Guitar! The FLAMECASTER!

I destroyed a brand new guitar with FIRE and then I resurrected it using EPOXY! I was inspired by the fire epoxy table built by @Blacktail Studio This build was so much work I almost gave up. I've seen epoxy guitars and I've seen burnt wood guitars but I haven't seen a burnt wood and epoxy guitar before. Let me know what you think of my attempt at Shou Sugi Ban and Epoxy. Check out the link to the fire epoxy table that inspired this build below.

I'm so glad you watch Blacktail studio located in Portland, Oregon. His channel is as awesome as yours is.

[@rvah13rav87]

Love the video, and the humor. Also great seeing the little one learning.👍

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! 😃

[@connerstephenson2982]

Awesome video! Love the humor as well! So when it comes to pick guards I know that you can buy clear pick guards from reverb or Amazon if you want to show off that burnt wood. If not, a tortoise shell style pick guard could look quite nice!

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@matthewpeterson3329]

How the hell did I miss this one. That intro initiated a bourbon spit take, so... bravo ya bastard.

[@abrahamcantu6147]

@@HAXMAN Awesome build! I think that it would look even more awesome with a clear pickguard. That way your hard work will be seen.

Just saw this and was watching your smokeless pit vids. Have to check out more, good stuff man.

Love the ending lol

[@MrDeticus]

Great idea! Good results. I would have liked more video or info on how you kept the neck pocket flat and aligned. Enjoy the humor too.

[@MrZiglvleit]

Found you today and after 20 sec I had seen enough of it, the way you throw with stuff, man o man... So I liked and subscribed cause now I want to see it all.

Good result!!! Congratulations

[@pumukliboti]

I really love your style of comedy bits.

Wow, neat result, impressive process, and as a father of a daughter, I'm impressed she helped. It was painful seeing the candy red metalflake burn off though.

[@joeyoungs8426]

I’d say killer result, well done. Adorable family too.

[@congerscott6064]

I like my guitars "well done" too lol, great job man, that guitar come out killer 🎸👍🏆.

[@musicmason]

My man, that is rad. What did the guitar end up weighing afterwards? Did you remove all the epoxy from the neck pocket? We're you able to get the neck angle correct again?

[@riffomancer7462]

Shame he didn't string it up and play it. Need to make sure that neck angle is right and it's still a playable instrument

[@C1schecter101]

Shame on you for putting that stupid pick gaurd on it

Nice cut

[@Iximity]

This reminds me of someone's Jazzmaster that was burnt from a housefire I saw online. Anyways great work, this is such an epic build!

[@randyheath8566]

I liked the Guitar 🎸 both ways. Mighty Fine Looking Guitar 🎸 after though 👍👏⭐✌

[@Dilla4life]

Way cool! Could you do this without the mold after sealing it? Also, do you think you could use a sanding sealer then another finish like poly or nitro? 🙏🏻

[@DeadriseWoodCrafts]

Love it it came out awesome.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@williamritchie5462]

I want to start of by saying this was spectacular. Beautiful guitar great humor all I ask is that can we please get more guitar vids

Priceless ending🤣🤣🤣

[@jameshill2015]

Damn.. l would have never put a pick gaurds on that body.. hell you have TONS of material to polish out unwanted pick scratch's.. that is truly crafty! Very entertaining vid with mind blowing results!

[@jakeatkins4142]

Cool finish on the guitar!! I think your best bet as far as the pickguard goes would be to use a clear guard-still holds the pickup and utilize the screw holes, but let’s all that beautifully burnt wood show through.🤘

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@Sc-tb2qu]

This is a flame top

[@ofcoursemydodgeramrules4162]

The pick guard really does take away from the beauty of this piece. If you decide to take it off you could just buy a clear one or make a clear one out of the epoxy if you want to keep it completely hand crafted on the body. Another idea is to make a pick guard out of a lighter colored thin wood, burn that and cover with the table epoxy. Great videos, super humor and wonderfully creative! Keep up the great work!

[@psychotikpaisano]

When blacktail did that it inspired me to build this as well. I'm still in the planning stages tho 🤣

[@KstewLover1]

Damn that was scary but thankfully nothing happened and you've got an epic guitar to show for it 🤟🏻

[@ecko1882]

Loos bad ass brother. If you use a polarizer filter on your camera it would cut through the reflection and really show off that depth. Just FYI for another time. File that little nugget for later.

I kind of wanted to play the guitar as it was burning.🥰 Pyromania

[@Mike_Spor]

maybe a clear pick guard?

[@joshbrown567]

Could you have left it with just that first coat of you tabletop epoxy? I know that the texture would be irregular but would the finish be durable enough with just a brush on coat?

[@tylerparker3024]

They do sell black squire guitars

[@hackprine5691]

cool

[@joelcabida]

This is the most entertaining guitar making video ive seen so far... Haha good job,,, Here take my sub...

Is there any way to get that burnt finish in matte?

[@michaeldavila2325]

:~D well done.......no pun intended.

[@TezzCruiz]

This man looks like Russell Crowe's long lost twin

[@guitarguts666]

You should do another one and then just tape around the edges of the guitar and drop in the cracks from all the burn like bright red a poxy let it cure and then clear coated because then you would see all the veins and the popup of the roid it would give it like a complete 3 dimensional look I think

[@coopertrooper8256]

[@markschnurman1583]

Great video. I have been thinking of doing a fire guitar as well. Do you have a final weight for the guitar or any idea how much heavier it is compare to when you started?

[@metoasmo54]

nice dudee

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@kennyrosenyc]

The pick guard is irrelevant since the body is made of epoxy (it's not going to get scratched by a plastic pick). The problem is that guitar necks are not just screwed in. You have to check the angle and adjust it because you have altered the cavity that the neck sits in. I know it looks like a hunk of wood but it's a very finely tuned object that you (and many other KZbinrs) seem to think can be taken apart and slapped together at will. Otherwise, the guitar is pretty much useless.

[@juniormorais-gt]

Perfect for a steakhouse jam

[@bassebonnlapp-officiella]

And the sound after the treatment? Is it different? Excuse my bad english, I'm from Sweden.

[@HAXMAN]

No noticeable difference. 👍

[@Heavenreck]

Great video. After all that mess and near misses. Does it sound good?

[@HAXMAN]

Yes it does!

[@apocalypsecat1665]

That's the weirdest way to customize guitar I've ever seen, but it's also the most interesting and beautiful. I would like to know how it sounds and how heavy it is (guitar, I mean).

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you! I wanted to show everything on video but it took so long to make I had to just get the video done.

[@davedupuis2069]

What was the reason for putting on the table top epoxy first? Couldn't you just have poured the whole thing? I'm curious because I like this so much that I may do a bass just like it. Great job!

[@HAXMAN]

It needs a thin layer first to seal it. If you don’t do that you’ll get tons of bubbles. The tabletop epoxy will set much faster than the thick pour epoxy so that’s why I used it first. Thanks!

[@deaniversen351]

next time just dam it up around the circumference and pour, that way its monolithic and less risk and work, pretty cool tho

[@deaniversen351]

nevermind... lol

This was such a pain and took so much time the thought of doing another one gives me nightmares. 😂

[@bobfarr4578]

So would you sell the one you already did?

[@HAXMAN]

@@bobfarr4578 No. Sorry. My daughter wants it.

[@jamesreaves5534]

Beautiful guitar but the pickguard is defeating the purpose. I would have never put that ugly pickguard over all that beautiful burnt wood. I don't see the point in going through all that trouble and then covering up over half the body with the cheek piece of white plastic. Now if you remove but you got holes in the Buddy and they're always going to show Even if you drop fill them with super glue or clear epoxy you still going to be able to see the whole down underneath the clear if you try to use black super glue then you're going to see little black dots for the clear either way they're always going to show. Other than that I think it's cool I just don't understand the point of the pickguard. God bless you and your family!! Jimmy and NC....
