I wish you would get a mic really close,,,, and strum a few different guitars unplugged, and then side-by-side it with the concrete guitar,,,, then stick them all in the same amp, nice and clean, and side-by-side it,,, then give a little grit, then a heavy distortion., (try to be using basically the same pickup for the testing,,, like, neck only, or bridge only ,,,, I know pickups are all different too, but if you start unplugged, you might be able to see where the personality of the unplugged sound comes through just the same.

Having worked with concrete my whole life. This is by far one of the COOLEST applications for that material. I don't know if the creator will read this or not. But another thing you can try is polishing the concrete body of the guitar. It's using a concrete polishing wheel, it's kind of like a grinding wheel same family. By polishing you would pull out all the aggregates within the concrete to the surface.

I'll say, it's not quite as cut and dry as that. Nonetheless, Amp and pickups are still the biggest determiner of an electric guitar's sound. Biggest thing with wood is how much you have & it's density impacting frequency response. Less wood, you'll lose low end. Sustain is not affected in the slightest. You can find all of that here on youtube with tests done by luthiers. There's one video with an american luthier and his little boy. He built these mounts so he could effectively switch out bodies on one single with a small central pocket underneath that holds the pickups and electronics. They found exactly what I explained ^. Edit: I can also attest to this, as I own a steinberger. Good bright guitar, but it lacks in lower frequencies, even after switch out the electronics. I've also seen this being a cheap hobbyist who switches out electronics on my project guitars.

[@kibon8387]

well, this guitar is kinda a huge middle finger towards the "Tone-wood" people.

[@ModelLights]

Not at all. The neck is wood, and is the live portion of the tank circuit with the strings. Concrete/stone etc is like a short circuit for it's small section, and won't matter much except for it's basic resonant frequency due to size/shape so will be basically neutral. Won't change in the slightest that a wood body is basically solid but can still have a bit of a frequency absorption profile. This being 'good' because most (say 85% for reference) of what's needed is in the strings and neck and the body is neutral doesn't change that the same strings and neck could be even better with the correct wood body. Take two faint notes, high dies out first, then do it again and low dies out first, with the other continuing. You can easily tell these apart, and can be easily accomplished by one wood body slightly favoring the high note and one favoring the low note. You're not understanding the complexity of sound and what can be going on and the billion to one scale of hearing if you think something this silly 'proves' something. I personally can barely tell the difference between red and white wine. Does that mean I think there aren't differences in wine, and that someone trained and with an exceptional palette can't tell differences I couldn't begin to notice? Of course not, I'm not that ridiculous. Of course half every knucklehead want 'everything to be easy for me' so they don't have to think for even 2 seconds.. That makes them completely crap at science and as people of science, nothing more.. You have to do a ridiculous amount of work to even try to prove 'something doesn't exist'. This ain't it.

Awesome! Looks really Nice! I have a few cents on this tonewood thing, and it is not directed towards this build, i think it was a well put together build. Cred. My five in the overall debate: Neck. That's the weak spot in these experimental builds. Iv'e seen glass guitars, resin, stone, pencil guitars etc. They sound alike with some flavor. All of them used maplelike fender kit-necks. But when i saw this guy casting an aluminium neck and bolted it on his build, 👍 That's what makes the most difference. Think about it. The neck is more than two thirds of the entire stringlength. I doubt wood as a whole, because it is inconsistent and random in its nature. But i do believe that the mass that the string is attatched to, matters. It's what keeps it ringning. But dont forget, everything you hear is a thin vibrating piece of metalstring. There's a difference beetween sustain and attack to. Hope to see more builds, maybe with a different take on the neck material? 👍

Except for the headstock . I would not use the same headstock as a Les Paul if you want it to stay in tune. I don't know why Gibson is so stubborn and adamant about not changing that 17° or 18° degree angle of the head stock because that would do so much to alleviate the 'not staying in tune' problem and it wouldn't be very noticeable. Bring it up the factory rep's and they act like you're completely changing the look of the instrument.. Epiphone changed theirs to I think a 13° or a 14°degree angle and it actually made a very noticeable difference as far as staying in tune but you can't tell by looking at it unless maybe you had them side-by-side. Kind of pisses me off LOL my buddies Epiphone cost less than half what my Les Paul cost and his Epiphone stays in tune better than my custom pro !!

I heard copper shielding doesn’t actually reduce interference since it’s a matter of the jack acting like an antenna. It’s a waste of copper.

[@cockadoodledoo28]

would have it been possible if the arm, neck etc was made of metal to counter the wait of the concrete guitar body?

[@WhoTouchMyGun]

To be fair, if you were making an acoustic guitar, it might matter, but the bodies of electric guitar don't do as much for the sound as you'd think. That's why they're made of many different materials, from epoxies to plastics to wood, with the nicest being the lattermost material.

[@Olegstuff21986]

C'mon man, the type of CONCRETE matters, surely! You gotta get raw, vintage concrete, sun-aged to perfection! To get that REAL, VINTAGEY tone!

[@kenwilson6850]

And the glue, don't forget the epoxy type and genuine pine for the dowels.

[@voornaam3191]
