Imagine being that old pallet and preparing to become firewood. And then suddenly out of nowhere you become a guitar. How amazing is that please?

I like how this man puts the music demo as the background music instead of shooting a shit ton of different demo videos

Palletcaster

That guitar is amazing ,design and idea ,everything . It's also slap in the face of music instruments industry . A statement

You're living the dream!

This is the greatest guitar that i have seen. Love the tone and pure simplicity. This is the essence of an instrument - hand made with love from just about anything.

In the past couple years, I have watched this video several times. It inspired me to build a few guitars electric and acoustic, something that a few years ago I could never have imagined doing. Thanks, Tim Sway. You have proven to me that not only can almost anyone build a working guitar from scratch (not a parts-caster, but from boards and fret wire), but that a guitar can be built out of almost anything.

I love watching your work Tim. You take the phrase "think outside the box" to new levels with each project. Your imagination and creativity knocks each guitar design out of the park. Keep 'em coming dude!

Came for the guitar, stayed for the soothing music.

Well .. once upon a time a friend just drove through the harbour of hamburg to all those storage houses in search for good wood. He had in his van some pallets for exchange. The guys who ran those storage houses had no problem whatsoever when he wanted one special pallet and gave one of his in exchange. And a bottle of liquor and a tip on top. For them pallet was pallet. But he knew better. The better Pallets are made of locally cheap but sturdy wood. And in some countries that is (or was) teak or similar exotic hard woods. Pallets are used again and again and again. So it's quite possible to find a pallet that is real old and seen a lot of places.

Looks and sounds great, Tim! Nicely done.

Tim, I love these reclaimed guitar builds. They are probably some of my favorite videos on KZfaq, along with your whiskey cabinet builds. I can’t play guitar, in fact I have absolutely zero musical talent, but these are just amazing. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us!

tonewood has left the chat

LOVE IT. I love the records being reused as pickup covers, what a cool design solution. Very cool guitar, very cool tone. Nicely done!

I love that we get to hear the guitar you're building while we watch you build it.

Another beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Best use of a pallet I've seen in a while and no drama about it being food-safe.

One Pallet, One guitar, One by Metallica please , loll

Talk about ALL the tools and an amazing artist that knows how to use them, great work sir. Thanks for sharing. A pic guard made from a record might be cool as well.

Must be nice to have a cnc machine

Nice! I made maybe 4 basses from pallets back in the early nineties. I was in a school, cabinet maker line. They got some machinery from Japan and that company used bubinga for pallets.

Tim, Don't know what I like better, the build or the tone! Simply amazing job! You Rock!

Excellent work!!! Usually pallets are used and abused so amazing such a lovely guitar can come from one 👍🎸

Tim once again looks and sounds awesome,thank you.

Yup, I need to watch your channel. I'm chomping at the bit to start building and this is just the inspiration I need. Great stuff.

I really love this kind of build. It makes me want to get some wood tools and try to make a guitar. Good job, and the final product is amazing!

Damn, that guitar's beautiful. Really shows what a talented luthier can do with scrap wood! You're a great inspiration, between you and Crimson Guitars, I started building my own guitars, I feel like I am in great luck to live in a time where I can watch inspirational people do amazing things with tools from the comfort of my home, and learn a lot!

That was very awesome! I hope you get over a million views and are compensated well for what you do man! (Monetarily)

That’s it!! That’s my favorite guitar you have build!!! Looks great and it sounds really nice!!! One of these days I’ll have enough money to buy one and display at my studio! Great job again man!!!!

Wow man, you are very talented, congratulations! That guitar is awesome

Woww you is a genius, it's incredible the pure sound, very clean and nice chords. Thank you so much. From Brazil, we love instruments. 🎸🎶🎼🎵🎻🎸😍

you give more than just ideas but also hope..thank you so much sir Godbleess

i love this song in the background! great job!

Nice project. Love it. Great sound.

I really dig your aesthetics. Great job!

Such a charming video! And all looks so deceivingly easy.....Thanks for making these masterpiece's!

Great stuff, Tim ! This was an awesome video. Thanks for posting

After studying all of the guitars available on the market the only thing I can say is good for you!

your playing is very nice. you are almost upstaged by your own music (joke). I feel very chilled after watching and listening to this one Tim. Thanks.

That's amazing and all from one pallet, you are a very talented guy and use of the vinyl was a stroke of genius, have a thumbs up just for being talented with timber

What a great idea, that guitar looks really cool. Considering the wood quality, and how thin the body is it also sounds pretty nice. Great job! Big thumbs up!

I've got this coffee table that Ive been trying to make into a pallet!?!?..haha!....love your work man! BE GOOD!

Now in my mind why would anybody thumbs down this, right on bro.

Love your work, Tim!

Looks awesome, keep on building

Tim - put some P90's in that monster.

It's pallet heaven. Beats going to pallet hell and getting thrown on a bonfire.

Nniiccee! She's got an old school sound. At one point I was expecting to be listening to somewhere over the rainbow..bravo!

good work!! Wonderful guitar!! Best regards, Giovanni from Italy

The machinery is one thing But you're imagination is outstanding

That's one premium pallet.. (Pallets are usually made out of pine or fir in varying quality, which first had me wondering about this build. But then when sanded, I saw it was ash. Was surprised.)

Beautiful work.

I have some experience of woodwork. Used to be lumberjack and did pallets for living back in the day. But you - sir - are a Master Craftsman. Kudos!

that is bad ass bro. hope your making money its nice to see someone doing something they love a guitar made with heart and soul already in it yours keep it up

Sweet looking guitar, super cool that it’s out of a single pallet

Great guitar build! You make it look fun! Love your soundtrack too. Nice playing!

Wow, great job! Congrats!!!!

Love it! I have a tele made out of a cutting board. Everyone laughs until I start playing.

Well this blows the whole "tonewood" thing out of the water.

Most beautifully one yet!! Excellent!

Beautiful guitar Tim. The combination of hand work and CNC was really great to see.

Im loving the reclaimed timber stuff. I find some real gems at my local wood reclamation yard. It the source of my guitar building inspiration. There is no such thing as scrap wood 👍 just a lack of imagination .

Well done. skillful fingers.

beautiful, Tim. Thank you

Amazing work Tim! Absolutely love these projects!

I wish I could build a good guitar from scratch like this guy. Tone sounds rich IMO!

It sounds great ..

Hi Tim, I also use a lot of pallet wood, but I cannot play a note (well not a good note) but I found this air nail remover in one of the videos I watch and was so impressed with how it worked in the video that I bought it. It plugs into my compressor and fits over the nail and with one press of the trigger the nail is removed. Even though I saw it work on the video I did not think it would be as good as it is so I am very pleased with it. I am sorry I cannot remember where I saw the tool but I am sure someone else will comment below and tell you.

Great work. I like the clips in the body

Linda guitarra! Deve ter ficado super leve e barata, menos o maquinário. Uma pena os pallets daqui acho q não tem uma madeira tão seca. Belo trabalho!

Damn cool. I'd love to see a Les Paul Junior built this way

Looks great sounds great as well, amazing work.

Nice work, thanks for inspiration

One man! One soul ! One mission ! One vision !! 😎

Crushed it. Again.

Awesome. I love the song. A Jazzy unique sound Thanks for sharing

I always come back to this one for the background song (and i love the design) something about that song just vibes so well with me

Much better sounding music on that video👍 still some work to do on the playin’ but very nice work😀 Jag pickups sound amazing

Check in Memphis to see if Gibson left any pallets not destroyed. Premium stuff I'm sure.

the best use of a pallet I have ever seen

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Bravo!!!!!!

My brother awesome pallet Guitar good job later :)

Tim i don't know how you do the voo doo you do,but brother you do it well that is a beautiful piece of awesome right there,thank you for sharing all of your hard work all the best to you and yours

It looks great and I love the use of records brilliant idea. Forgot to say sounds awesome.

Bad Azz Brother. And nice use of a soldering iron for marking fret positions;-)

nice amazing

Beautiful work my friend..😃

I know this very late ,but that guitar turned out awesome. Sounds great also. Well done.

Love it, nice! Probably would've made the body double the thickness to have more body to the sound, but it really is just down to personal taste.

Awesome job, I wish I could make guitars too, but I just have the pallets.

It must be tremendously satisfying to create such a wonderful guitar. Well done.

Beautiful playing and tone.

Brilliant, a guitar made from a trash pallet - absolutely suitable for playing some thrash metal! ;)

Those thumbs down people were the ones that spent bank money on their guitars. Oh well.

Wow, amazing work! Tfs!

Sounds so great!

imo Damn fine vid. Damn fine guitar. Damn cool. imo

You could play some ""SKID row"

Love it! Looks so good and a was made with true craftsmanship.

Your channel is awesome! So inspiring, Thanks✌
