Turning 50LBS of Copper Wire Into a Guitar

[ourcollectiveinsanity]

It weighs 40 pounds and gave me scoliosis but dude, the sustain is so worth it. 😅

[MilesBleek]

The most electrically conductive guitar in history, no thanks😂😂😂

One day you'll find out why they made electric guitars out of wood ⚡

Came here to see how many “Heavy Metal” jokes there would be… All of them.😂

Damn 40 lbs of copper? Would’ve been cheaper to just get range brass.

[williamirwin]

Just a tip, it works best if you use white silica sand on the surface part of the mold to prevent pitting. And use lots of lacquer to finish, or else your hands will be turning green in a week

With balanced cabling this would have an ungodly low noise floor

Grounding that thing is gonna be a bitch lmao

But if you lose, the Devil gets your soul

[JeremySteamsack]

Could you please do a side by side comparing the sustain of this guitar to a normal wooden guitar? Sustain should be a lot better I would think

I remember a bronze guitar being manufactured in the seventies. I was made in Scandinavia and was a bit heavier than yours. The sustain was reported as unreal. I had a brass nut installed on my 77 Les Paul which made a world of difference.

You did a great job, and it sounds wonderful too

[guyunknown]

If you wanna do another version of this look up how to make Nordic gold, I’m pretty sure it’s an alloy of copper and some other metals but it looks like the typical fantasy style gold

[cory]

Nice you should call it the femur breaker

[ROGER]

Perfect for playing outdoors when the weather looks bad.

[kennethwells]

I could see Zakk playing this. Big strong dude. I love it

[stevenhalloway]

It’s cool you know how to do that stuff. Keep on doin it man. It can only help you. The more stuff you know the better.

[julianchavez]

You need a harness for your waist and shoulder for that to make it worth playing long term. Worth it

[paulpennington-mvrt]

That is a severely badass guitar, its worth working out a bit just to sling it around; it has to have a heavy tone
*Pun absolutely yes* .
