Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain.

Dude more rust needed

true dude

same here, thanks for the lovely comment

Same rest in peace chester :(

Me neither 😭

He said we gotta take it to chester... I was thinking Chester chester??

Like your style. Link to your stuff?

@@432b86ed hi Zakk! Thank you! I just released my first solo album worldwide. I am also in a band called Ironwrath. We are about to release an album around Christmas 2022. My solo album will be re-released around October 2022. Thank you!

I want your job.

You are waaaay better than Delson lol

This was the coolest thing ever

Same

I've never ever been so affected by the death of a famous person in my life the way I was by Chester's. Deep depression for many weeks

I can guarantee that this guitar is coated with something to make it water resistant. They made a surfboard out of cardboard already.

Yes it most like was dipped in a type of resin like ultra gloe or half and half resin mixture used for clear coating furniture wood. It can be bought at a hardware store.

No, someone got to close to is with a lit cigarette (I heard it was a cigarette but who knows?) and it went up in flames like a Jimmy Hendrix finale.

HYDROPHOBIC PAINT

+MrMelodyCold that's because he sucks(and all the guys on Linkin Park suck too). lol

+Pedro Iago Haters gonna hate

Sava Jevtić lmao

Pedro Iago It shouldn't be funny for you... but what else to expect of someone who hates LP?

Shut the fuck up. Linkin Park is not technical metal band. How many guitarists in nu- metal play excellent? None of them. They are really far away from dudes like Dave Mustaine or John Petrucci.

True

The only reason I was going through the comments was to see if this comment was here. I thought the same thing and knew someone else had to as well.

You can see whatever it’s covered in glimmer in the light too, I also came looking lol

04:03 in fact when he brings the guitar back to his body it strikes something solid and sounds exactly like a wodden guitar

none the less it is pretty cool. probably would put in a normal neck for intonation

Actually... 25% Hey it's Chester! 25% How does it not break? 25% The Linkin Park guitarist sucks! 25% Tonewood is a myth. :D

1% Breaking down the comment distribution

actually 2% because of you

And most if not all hating on brad doesn't even play guitar lol

50% wow, the guys at Fender really know how to play guitar like a boss

+slorr55 They made a surf board out of cardboard too...

+slorr55 Do you follow Captain Anderton on Facebook, or is that a huge coincidence ?

+Pr0p4n8 There are no coincidences ;-)

+slorr55 hahaha i was about to say that!! xD

I just wonder what happens when the neck breaks lol.

Davie504: holy my face reveal.

JuicyBoxer no I'll do what I want

Ah yes.. Tonewood. Some say he was a myth. I believe Tonewood is real.. in our hearts.

Wood and paper are made of the same thing

Clorox Bleach So are charcoal and diamonds.

@@JJDoole cool

To me it's not so much the wood type, it's the density and weight. Some woods are just more dense, leading to it being heavier alot of the time, and sometimes you can compare the same wood type and it could weight alot less or much more. Out of my 19 guitars, the heavier ones have the better tone and sustain than the lighter ones. Like I have a RG920 (it's a 6 string) and it's reallllyyyy heavy for a 6 it weigh's more than most of my 7's (only one beats it and it's a neck through) and it's tone and sustain beats the crap out of my RG927 (which is basically the same guitar with an extra string. Same trem, same pickups, same body wood, same wood on the fretboard). The only difference is the neck wood combination. I've even upgraded to a fat brass block to try and beef up the tone, but it still is not comparable with the RG920. And that neck through I mentioned earlier is a tone MONSTER, it's an Agile. I've never played a guitar that handles high gain so well, and it will keep a note forever. It's as heavy as all of my 8 strings except 1, and that's a fat hellraiser. Yeah, my back might be screwed later in life for actually liking a heavy guitar, but it's soooooo worth it lol.

Because it is custom made

Well Chester is the singer, not the guitarist

+Rafael Garcia he gave it to their lead guitarist

+Link Freeman I know that ugh

IMO Brad is an amazing guitarist, but not for the same reasons I think someone like Slash is an amazing guitarist. Brad can seamlessly fit his guitar work into the flow of the songs, it makes the songs feel unique even though the riffs aren't amazingly complex. One of my favorite examples of this is Hit the Floor...its the easiest fucking song to play on this planet yet it goes so damn well with what the rest of the band is doing and it sounds amazing because of the effects he uses. At the end of the day he's more of a craftsman - trying to make everything fit INSTEAD of making it stand out with the exception of a bulk of the hunting party and this song where he tries something different yet still keeping his roots in the form of simple, yet effective, riffs and in this case solos.

Ikr I thought I was the only one who thought that XD

Reis DeSantis Chester “suicidios locos” Cheetos

RIP indeed i was shocked by the final masquerade on the background

+Ed Dana LOL ...

+Ed Dana It honestly sound very bad.I do not know why they are so exited about this tone.I`m puzzled.

+Dado Simic - Ermmm, actually it sounds like it is; 'A Strat,' there is no puzzle.

+Arthur Brown Every guitar with the same built gonna sound like strat.Its not a big science.But how it sound in terms of sound quality is another thing.That is what puzzle me,why they get so excited.The tone is totally dead at high and low end.

+Ed Dana "Sounds like a Strat!"

I want a Crimson Guitars style multipart series.

it is prolly just an ad for Fender Custom Shop

Many guitars have been made from epoxy resin. The cardboard isn't really important here

Kevin Ye was really hoping to see this in the comments... May he rest with God

Kevin Ye RIP

Kevin Ye 😭😭😭😭

Not a religious person and all, but he did kill himself; and apparently that's a sin.

brianyzq777 "not religious but it's a sin to me". Funny guy.

google epoxy

Where is the epoxy? There's no mention of epoxy in the video.

Why are you so stuck on epoxy or resin? When something is made of carbon fiber, we call it carbon fiber. but reality is the carbon fiber is the underlying cloth. It only gets stiff and strong from the resin used. Big deal. There is a coating of something in impregnated in the cardboard fiber. It's very clear to see the difference in color between when they first start putting together the grid pieces, and when the shop is milling and sanding the body shape. There is definitely something there to make it more rigid.

No, there isn't "definitely" something to make it more rigid at all. There MAY be something, and there may NOT be. And as it doesn't say there is in the video then you're simply guessing.

ok.. whatever.. choose to believe whatever you like.

I’m sure he loved you too...

I cried too when he played the guitar.

Why?

just hoped to see a comment like that here

+Martin Cote they're not "better" they play differently =p

+gwidao123 aaah you might be right but I really think the first guy who tried it can outplay Brad and by far. No knock on him though, that technician really seems like an amazing guitarist! :D

Well from the brief experience i've had, most "rockstars" have NOTHING on the top technicians at most big brands factories! they actually recruit people! There's a little story i heard once that some dude at gibson australia smoked the hell out of petrucci and he bowed to the guy afterwards xD. Rockstars are only more famous, there's so many people in the world and there's a bunch of everyday guitarists that are fucking amazing! They just don't have the crowd around them all day =) At the end of the day, it's not a competition. Music is so personal it doesn't even make sense to compare. I really dislike people who treat such a rich environment like a rank ladder.

You're totally right my friend. Music should never be a competition (f**k show like America's Got Talent) but if we talk on a technical standpoint, that tech seems freaking on point. But then again, if you're not a musician, it's harder to appreciate music on a technical standpoint. Even though I like Linkin Park, especially when I was younger, they got nothing on a band like Dream Theater for exemple. Its basic pentatonic riffing in 4/4. But hey, I never said it sounded bad and the proof is that LP is way bigger than DT. So who am I to tell one is better than the other!

I've played guitar for the last 7 years, haven't had time to keep up in the last 3 though so i've deteriorated a bit. But dude you name it, sweeps alternated tapping improvisation, i could do all of that stuff, but spend a couple weeks without training and poof, gone. trying to get it back wth one free hour a day is being tough. I had a little band playing mr. big covers for a while back then i was the shit! But yeah, most of the stuff people who aren't musicians think is amazing and "it must be impossible to play that" are things any normal student can do in a 2 year practice method, and is actually staple of the method. I've come to really apreciate people who are versatile and understand various genres profoundly that is sooo hard, and it takes so much hard work to be able to do it's not even funny xD. I really liked LP in the early years, they changed and i didn't follow through, just like with RHCP, another band i love to death. But it's their style right. Anyone can play pentatonics and simple improv or play a learned riff that sounds cool. Takes a real artist to compose something beautiful that takes al their self to play, that's what i value in music. Doesn't really matter your skill level if you can make something with all your heart, i will always respect it. i mean sure i like dream theater and Paul gilbert racer X stuff, but i guess there's a reason i alwas keep coming back to hendrix, iomi, john frusciante, buckethead, i really love their stuff because it's got so much feeling in it. DT started sounding a little robotic for me after a while, just like iron maiden, amaazing at first, it's like a well oiled machine, but after a while it just seems they're going on automatic mode. =)

But you still don't get the the same resonance, and that's because of the change in its density which means change to its sound.

It takes the right configuration to create stability. (Obviously) Wood is all one piece so its stable. Paper/Cardboard is so many pieces which makes this more incredible. Would've loved to see how it resonated.

+Ali Rafiei. pickups make the sound lol its not an acoustic guitar. you have been lied all the different tyoes of wood dont mean anything

Tone wood is important on acoustic instruments. It's more of a marketing ploy on electrics. People have made electric guitars out of solid metal, acrylic, etc. and they sound fine. The scale-length, type of pickups and placement of pickups are all much more important to the tone produced than the body material.

+Ali Rafiei its electric so no

Nice picture. I'm a fan of braeburned as well.

Curtis just jealous of his drawing ability :)

WoahItsWiley what

Probably just new strings.

I mean isn't that what linkin park always does? I'm just interested if the guitar can be intonated.

Kyle Ball yes

Kyle Ball hit me hard cause I didn’t expect it

exactly

yeah

i laughed

By "linkin park dude", you mean the white guy?

Yeah, he's by far not the greatest. I'm glad Linkin Park doesn't have that many guitar solo's. I'm not bashing him or anything, but he should stick to riffs and stuff.

True.. there are ALOT of people much better than guitarists in big bands.. look up Guthrie Govan one of the best in the WORLD right now. and he plays smalls gigs..

MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt guthrie is da best

Aspiring Musician - The 3rd Tausk ya but legit guitar playing is about skill. And it would have been more of Fender custom shop to have someone who had better chops.

😂😂😂

with those single coils, never

Stratz jent grate

definitely we need djared and rob

An active pickup and an elevator cable will make anything djent.

+wordsnwood I was thinking the same thing....cardboard was just the mold.

+Andrea Arzensek You mean the skeleton or structure...?

Keith Richards Hey Keith, I think that the whole structure was soaked in epoxy. Guitar strings have way too much tension for the cardboard on it's own to support. Still, the guitar looks dope!

Andrea Arzensek Yes, also the board would "undo" itself over time. It would have been nice to see them going through that process. They should make these 100%. I would pay $250 for one easy!

+Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) Doesn't this show how stupid people are

... you will cry. The other half, satisfyed?

***** no problem

James Morris there's a subject and a predicate

I think they coated it with something, they made it hard

I guess waterproof coating is done there. they made a surfboard out of paper.

I agree with many others that the Fender guys played much better than him.

The guys in the factory probably know more scales and chords since they are testing the guitars all up and down the neck, plus they probably tune the thing before hand, which many rock guitarists can't seem to get. :-)

A Master does not 'try' to sound good, you scrub...

Eugenesis r

Where are your memorable songs, amazing guitarist? How do you know what he is capable of and not? Do you sit by his bed side while he plays? Are you staring in his window? Not all musicians play to their abilities in their bands.

I feel like that that person is still stuck tone wood. I feel like this video helped silence at least some of the people

The cardboard one looks way hevier.

+Dario Losso are you sure?

Probaply not, since a normal strato is metal plastic, the carbord one has many air holes. They should be around the same weight, but i assumer the carbord is 1 either lighter because of the holes, or 2. is heavier because it is compressed carbord which is like wood with holes.

+Carl Johnson A normal strat is solid wood. It undoubtably weighs less because of the holes but its interesting to know how dense the cardboard is.

Fin Warman Really fucking interesting, i'd like to have one

+DKGCustom Yea I see that wild exchange Dunc. Is it possible that this this instrument was inspired by your ideas and the tonewood debate? We may never know.

+Paul Graham (Guitar) May have been inspired by my "Cardocaster"

+DKGCustom On it. Apologies, we are a small crew always busy on the next project. Thanks for bring it to our attention.

+DKGCustom Can I use the Gibson tone polish on this?

+Paul Graham (Guitar) OFC it was! We now know, for certain, that tonewood does not exist on electric guitars. Fender, of all people, have proven it. How ironic. This debate starts, and ends with Leo!

this sounds like shit

kroustyman tonewood ideologue

lemur sven you must not understand physics...

Why would we feel uncomfortable ? The "tone-wood" used here is Wood and it sounds like a Chinese Squire. Cardboard is wood chip pulp and is made out of any or all of these tree varieties ; Oak, Sycamore , Chestnut , Spruce, Pine , Eucalyptus and ,Silver Birch-wood. So yeah it's still a "wood" guitar. It's JUST ground up pulp wood with an epoxy to make it stiff.

God higher than family nope

cardtone :P

+elcaifo toneboard :P

In the video they had to limit the playing time and lay a ton of blurry effects on top of that sound, but we can still hear it sounds like shit.

kroustyman got a guitar that is made purely out of shit to make such a comparing statement, professor?

Why don't they mass produce something like this instead of the trash that comes out of india/china.

yes I have one, but I had the shit dipped in resin, and made some blurry bad quality sound testing because I wanted to amaze gullible people on youtube

kroustyman whoa... There's a lot of unresolved pain in your heart, my man. Just chill, fall in love with life and people and enjoy playing guitar that YOU love. We all have our preferences, some more weird than others. There's space for all of us - as long as we don't infringe the fundamental laws of life and morality.

Sick jokes

If they did it right, and I am certain they did, this is thing aught to transmit vibration like a champ. Which is what a tone wood is supposed to do. I’m wondering if we’re looking at the future of electric guitar.

Still ultimately made out of trees nonetheless, lol. And they skipped the part where they obviously soaked it in some sort of resin for added strength.

CatspitProductions it's cardboard and sounds just like a strat. Proof that the tone has very very little to do with the wood. It's all about the pick ups and pick up placement. Tonal woods on electric guitars are myth

Yes I know it's card board. But if you notice the card board got much darker. And in my experience raw card board will get rough and fuzzy or bent at the edges. So if they did not soak or coat it for rigidity and durability, then they must have used an extremely special card board. And it's not that an electric holds tone but raw soft card board would be a sound insulator. So it may flatten or change the way it would play if it were not hardened. Plus it needs to hold the string tension. Like we couldn't take a string set up and mount it to a table or something and expect it to sound like a Srtat, you know? Or could we? LOL.... Just thinking here because they really didn't give much details about the build. It would be interesting to know exactly how it was done.

Carboard is much stronger than you think, and this is a guitar, not a bass, string tension isn't that strong

A couple of hundred pounds I think they said. And I was referring more to the way card board will fray and get gnarly at the edges when handled like this thing. It seems obvious to me it was hardened and needed to be for durability at least.

Yes, I agree. It's very cool but it is obviously holding up to all that handling much better than bare cardboard. Cardboard just does not stay that perfect when handled and being put through massive stress. Unless it's some kind of super special cardboard and I know there are cardboard materials that can withstand a lot. But I am talking more about how perfect the edges are staying on this thing.

ElliotNott can you just appreciate ? FUCK YOU

ElliotNott how is the talent wasted? You mean how much talent goes unnoticed? Because those guys were all very talented. Except the linkin park dude

Anim8tor man, its true

ElliotNott yh but could they write memorable guitar parts?

Yeah probably. I don't think you quite understand the fact that the builders are some of the best luthiers to ever live. Most of the master builders there have been crafting guitars 3x longer than you have been alive. I mean these are the guys that litterlay saved fender after the shit show also known as CBS ownership. So yeah they probably can write some pretty memorable stuff

+Joel Back this guitar is super light

Like 90% pickups and amp. the rest is strings and hardware. Wood doesn't mean fuck all. I bet an all acrylic or lexan guitar would sound great.
