How It's Actually Made - Electric Guitars

It should be noted that all machines during the production process must contain dangerous heavy metals, or else the guitars would lose their edge and instead become angsty violins.

FUN FACT: Watching this video as a guitarist is one of the very few documented ways to experience every known human emotion within 10 minutes.

I love how these videos start out believable and even serious, and then devolve into madness within a few minutes.

As a musician with 3 guitars, allow me to explain the complicated joke of gluing the pieces of wood together. It’s just funny. Gluing two pieces of miter cut wood together is the funniest shit in the world. Adding a third piece just makes it absurd, which makes it funnier.

That “bass” joke is so funny to me because I have a friend that used to genuinely think that bass (music) was pronounced bass (fish) and vice versa. To this day we still bring it up with him.

I used to work at a guitar store that was a dealer for Godin guitars, the manufacturer featured here. I can 100% confirm that this video is spot-on and everything is true. I miss being the store's electric guitar taster to ensure it had the proper electric guitar taste.

Finally, a video that’s actually accurate to how guitars are made. As a guitar player, it means the world to me. Time to go tune my truss rod, my three strings, and turn those cool little buttons that don’t do anything.

As someone who has not once picked up a musical instrument, and has only ever heard about one until today, I can confirm that this video is entirely accurate.

Fun Fact: Despite being a guitarist's first song to learn, Smoke on the Water is based on an actual story.

The volume knob isn't useless its actually used to annoy sound techs when amateur musicians can't figure out why their guitar is so quiet. it happens more often than it should.

The one minute long description with the repeating panning images of the guitar was absolutely brilliant

"Most professional guitarists give the truss rod a full turn once a week" that killed me 🤣

"All guitars are equal, but some play a tune that raises jimi hendrix from the dead" - Huggbees, 2022

As a fellow guitar player, that master of puppets playthrough was top of the line, amazing quality. Huggbees could be the next Hames Jetfield.

I love how every video starts out with straight facts, then takes a sharp left into comedy

As a clarinetist, I can confirm that this is exactly how guitars are made.

As a Guitarist, I can indeed understand the comedic genius of gluing three pieces of wood together. Truly some of the funniest shit I ever seen, especially when the tuning keys turn themselves into pickles

As a drummer, I can confirm that this is exactly how guitars are made.

I had to write an informative speech for my public speaking class (oh and the topic was 'guitar') and of course all college classes require you cite your sources, and so I used this video because the first couple of minutes sounded legit (I've never seen anything from this channel before), and so the part about the guitar's inception and changes, etc., Is what I used, and on my bibliography/works cited page I obviously pasted the link and title of this video... Then sometime during my professor's reviewing and grading process she watched the video to check my work I suppose, and about two weeks later when grades were finally posted on Blackboard... I saw a 70 and a speech bubble 💬 next to my grade (which is common. It just means the instructor has some feedback for you to read) and in summary she basically dinged me for using insufficient material and said "my sense of humor is not appreciated" and that she takes her "field of work" super seriously (she's a college speech teacher that also works a second job that isn't remotely speech/public speaking related, and she hasn't given a speech since she graduated college back in the 70s or whatever, but yeah, this field of work is super cereal); my APA format and all the technical stuff was on point, and my actual writing and my delivery of my speech to the class was great according to the grading rubric, yet also according to the rubric, this source shouldn't have knocked me down to a C-... There's a place for people like her and that bitch Carol Baskin. All in all, I think this is a funny little anecdote, and there is a lesson in this writing, and the lesson is to never go half ass, or even worse a 1/16th of an ass like I did and listen to a couple minutes of something and be like "oh hell yeah this will do" 😂 always go FULL ASS! This was my mistake and I own up to it but still, THANKS Oh, and I still passed the semester with an A 🤙🏻🤙🏻 THANKS "HOW IT'S ACTUALLY MADE!" 3:29 and when it is done, it will be played by a sexually frustrated guitar player that's into prog rock and

"most professional guitarists give the truss rod a full turn about once a week" "This factory recommends soaking your guitar in soapy water about once a week to clean it" absolute nightmare sentences, this channel never disappoints
