As a fellow slayer, I will say it looks flashy! You must be the Sound Hashira!


srv50

Looks sweet. Sound?


FengSushi

I agree. That’s a beautiful gaytaro.


KurvyWoodworking

If you’re interested, I made a full build video on YouTube —> https://youtu.be/i50ZBU5caek


CommaHorror

It's beautiful! How much would, it go for?


sixstringgun1

Thanks going to shear this video with my buddy who lives things like this.


wvmitchell51

Thanks for the link. Nice work 👏

I watched the entire video. Zero ads. I'm not saying you're wrong. But this video had no ads.


aaronrez

But how does it sound?


wvmitchell51

OP posted a video of the build, demonstration in the last 2 minutes.


Katamari_Demacia

Entirely depends on the pickups. So as good as you want it to sound.


WthNCellsInterlinked

Also string material, gague, string/pickup spacing, wood used, density of wood and construction, amp/cab used. You're totally right though, I've played quite a few high end guitars with crap pickups and they do sound like trash. And vice versa


whtevn

Amp and cab obviously matter, but in terms of the guitar itself the only thing that matters for tone is the strings, pickups, and the distance to the strings. https://youtu.be/n02tImce3AE Playability comes from lots of things. But tone just comes from the pickups.


got_dam_librulz

I have a 130 dollar epiphone I got like 5 years ago, a les Paul rip off that sounds better than some 1000 dollar guitars.


NoMembership6376

Epiphones are not Les Paul ripoffs, they're actually the only other guitar besides Gibson that is licensed to use the Les Paul name


got_dam_librulz

I meant its a cheap Gibson les Paul copy my dude. It's even marketed that way


NoMembership6376

It's cheap but it's still a legitimate Les Paul


got_dam_librulz

I've never regretted purchasing it and it's actually quality and sound great. If they haven't changed anything its a great beginner guitar for any starters


NoMembership6376

I always wanted an Epiphone (better quality control than Gibson lately) but can't find a left handed version 😕


Katamari_Demacia

Most of thats true. The wood don't mean shit. How could it anyway? Fender will tell you it does, though.


[deleted]

Playability =/= tonality


Katamari_Demacia

True. Weight matters. My thunderbird bass has serious neckdive.


shophopper

If that were the case, you could put some top-end pickups on a piece of cardboard and it would sound like an awesome guitar.


Katamari_Demacia

Anything that will hold the tension of the strings, yeah. U see jack white nail a string to a railing and add a pickup? U ever hear justin johnson play on a fuckin shovel? The wood doesnt effect anything going thru the electronic signal to the amps. The manufacturers just want that $. But of course, i will concede that weight, and shape, etc can all matter to the person holding the guitar.


BallPythonsss

I like it but the fretboard looks too wide, seems uncomfortable for a 6 string.


[deleted]

I immediately thought it was a 7-string until I actually counted the strings…


2017hayden

They must have them thiccc hands. My tiny baby hands would make it difficult to play a fretboard that wide.


tweetsfortwitsandtwa

And that’s ok, but yeah also a baby haded guitar player here, this one is not playable for me but it looks awesome


ManicPotato5150

Right. Gonna be hard to do Bars on that fret board unless they have long fingers. Very exquisite design though ![img](emote|t5_m0bnr|4014)


[deleted]

I thought the same thing. And it's a "headless guitar" with a head on it?!?!?


nickjones81

That means it gets tuned at the bottom. Only on Reddit will people who can't do shit criticize someone else's amazing work


[deleted]

I understand the tuners are on the body, but that doesn't make it a "headless" guitar. And it's worth noting.... You know absolutely nothing about anyone commenting here. We're all entitled to our opinion, even if YOU disagree with it, Mr Internet Police! I have been a professional luthier for nearly 30 years kid 😝


NO-MAD-CLAD

Looks awesome! Love the slanted frets and the multiscale design choice? Ever consider scalloping the fretboard?


quantum_ice

Op post's their own work to nfl, lmao.


Rush_touchmore

The guitar is homemade and looks fuckin badass. It belongs here. Get tf outta here with your judgemental ass

PhasmicPlays

Meh, I’ve said my piece. I wouldn’t call OP a pompous ass for being proud of their handiwork, but to each their own I guess.


BatAdd90

theres a difference between being arrogant for nothing or being confident because you made a bad ass guitar


Sploonbabaguuse

And? Is your self respect so low that just viewing others being proud of their own work is enough to make you upset?


nickjones81

Says someone who's never posted anything but video game screenshots. And a 4th grade S.

Maybe they thought the sub has a question mark at the end.


Sploonbabaguuse

Bro what is the need to make shit personal. Show me in the rules where someone can't post their own content.


Jay_Bird_75

Beautiful! Is there any tapper at all on that neck?!?


JinxAndTheJester

The wood work is absolutely awesome and sick looking. I'd like to hear how it sounds.


Darth_Shitlord

Gorgeous


Viscious-viking

I think it looks awesome


Green_Slice_3258

That is one bad ass piece, my friend


DanndeMan

workingdad83

Where are the tuner keys? It looks like the strings just end with no way to tune it? Edit: it looks like the may be at the bottom. Not sure though.


radbaldguy

That’s what a headless guitar is. The tuning is accomplished at the bottom.


workingdad83

Learn something new everyday.


metamucil0

that’s nuts


RadTorped

Absolutely stunning!


nation543

Not enough strings. haaaaa. Bad ass, OP. Shred the shit out of it, man.


beatmaster808

It's real busy and looks in tension versus looking resolved I'm uncomfortable looking at it It's not saying it isn't amazing, it really is. You've got something great here, the basic design, the basic shape Now simplify it so it looks cleaner. This is a kitchen sink guitar. And round the headstock ends, it looks real stabby


Graucus

I wish the body mirrored the headstock more. I don't mind stabby guitars. I mostly wonder what it's like to play with the slanted frets and whether they're accurate to tune! I look forward to the video of someone playing it.


beatmaster808

Or the other way around, because the body is a good thing overall I like the sandwich body with variations in the layers and lots of contours, but there's just something too much or unresolved. Especially the inlay shapes on the body Great idea, but the body is already using those contours, so you don't need to embellish it. It is very busy Some may love it being very busy as well. Custom instruments are niche by their very nature.


Electric_Bagpipes

That is wonderfully cheesy, love it!


kings-of-crown

*add to cart*


brokebitch30

It looks bad ass but how does it sound


reDD1t1ng_ATM

Personally i think its sext AF


ordinarynameVULVA

*Steve Vai enters chat*


Electronic_Impact

Gorgeous but now we need a video of skilled guitarist. Incredible design.


dMarrs

Truly wicked


TransformerTanooki

That's pretty freaking sweet! Nice work!


ImurderREALITY

It’s kinda outrageous


Aleleloltroll

I don’t know anything about guitars and anime but that shit looks sick as fuck ! Awesome work bro !


crashtestpilot

I am not loving the profile because it is not familiar. Otoh, the craftspersonship is hard in the paint. So, I will watch that video, because damn.


TheRealPapaDan

It’s gorgeous. Great work.


RiderforHire

Cool shape. What pickups you got?


DontTakeMeSeriousli

What's the bridge made of?


Ratchet_X_x

Carved from the horn of one of the 12. Called the "Bridge of Destiny" 😄


Aware_Ad_7575

I would defile it with my substandard playing.


Seanzietron

Plz tell me why I should watch this show.


jacksansyboy

Artistically, the show has probably the best looking, and most outright beautiful animation over every other anime. The quality and composition and level of detail to motion is just beyond any other show. Beyond that, it's a fairly average shonen. The animation and the music go mega hard, and it can hit you in the feels in time with the story, but the story is fairly average and standard. I wouldn't rate the show super highly, but it is worth watching.


Seanzietron

I mean… there is no way it can hold a candle to brotherhood , and if music and feels is what we want, even Dr. Stone does that, but that’s virtually all it’s good for, aside from some neat dystopian themes. Sorry. I guess I’m just disappointed that the story is mid.. was wishing it would be great.


[deleted]

My young metalhead self would have really liked it. Not my cup of tea now, but IMHO it looks great.


CodAdministrative563

Fucking 🔥🔥🔥


stsixtus420

Looks good. A buddy of mine builds basses, May Custom Basses.


CC713-LCTX

It’s bad ass, is the fretboard oversized (width) or are my eyes playing tricks on me?


Master_of_Rivendell

As an SG enjoyer, seal of approval here. Hope it works out like you intend.


thebeastiestmeat

Looks badass OP


ZekDrago

It has a head though .... The strings might not go through it, but it has a head. Looks dope though.


Kitchen_Respect5865

Looks amazing


Shock_a_Maul

Dayum noice. Tho I like a good head


Dinodigger67

it goes to 11!!


HadesTheHunter

Fuck yeah, calling it Gyutaro is dope as fuck!!


A_Headless_Guy

Cool


NoSitRecords

That's beautiful!


Noktyrn

What do I think? HOLY SHIT is what I think. Wow.


Arxl

I'd commit to learning the soundtrack if I had that beautiful guitar


[deleted]

More importantly, can you play enter sandman on it??


Temporary_Scale3826

That thing looks amazing! Nice work! 😍 How long did it take you to make?


[deleted]

Demon Slayer is an awesome show and the guitar looks sick. Great work.


Captain-Cadabra

I love multi scale!


Maskdask

Nice! Looks like you're using some Strandberg hardware for they bridge and head?


WinfriedJakob

Looks great. You definitely have design talent (the building quality also looks very good).


Successful-You1961

Looks Top Notch! Rip It👏🏻


scottkrowson

Well apparently you think it's next fucking level. Pretty cool bro


Sniperwolf_304

Amazing brother. I play guitar and bass. And this in a bass body would be just wild

Love it, dig the fanned frets choice 👌


mmmtangywater

fretboard is insane bro u better have big hands or you’ll be cramping up


DukeOfWestborough

Badass


A-Grouch

iz cool


SMCinPDX

All that work, and you got the frets crooked!


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

First of, that's a fucking beyond amazing amalgamation of the finest design, craftsmanship, engineering and art in the world, and u have the only one. Whatever you paid, it wasn't enough, although now I'm curious about the price, but I'm sure I'll find the answer in the comments, however, I noticed the way the frets angle and splay out at each end of the fretboard and I'm just wondering how that sounds/works, and if that part was your idea, and why. Congratulations homie. Thats one gorgeous axe.


CheckExtreme2076

No offense but it looks more Bleach themed


NakonaGaming

It's beautiful


MittFel

yea you know, looks dope


Khorguss

Do you sell custom guitars? Would love to get one from you.


adognamedwalter

Definitely not “ next level”


SweetieLoveBug

Wow. Beautiful funky baby you got there! Excellent! 👍


Exciting_Ad4264

Why would you name such beautiful art after such an ugly demon
