Hey bro, I didn't see you there. Oh, I'm just here cutting lump to my new freaking guitar man. It's great. So anyways, this is my new guitar, alright? It's time to be out with the old in with the new, alright? That other guitar, that piece of trash, I burned it in my backyard. I said I'm done with that crap. Just kidding. So this guitar was made by my wonderful friend Evan Kingma and let me just tell you a little sit back. I'm gonna tell you a little tale. A little tale about how this puppy was made, alright? So anyways, this dude hits me up on Instagram and he's like, I make guitars. I really like your stuff. Have you ever thought about having a guitar made for you? And I was like, I thought about it, but I've never done it before. To tell you the truth, I was actually quite skeptical. I was like, I don't want no scrub making me a guitar. What if it sucks? What if it's like a Tonka, Tonka, Tyco? What am I trying to say? What if it's like a Fisher Price guitar? I don't want none of that. I'm a grown-ass man. And so I look the dude up, right? I do little little spy kids on him. And I come to find that he's a Canadian who who moved to Spain to make guitars. And he'd only been making guitars for about you know two, three years, something like that. But he was he was apprenticing for this this master guitar maker, this guy, Steve and Hill. So I was like, you know what? I like this. This feels right. So I was like, you know what dude? Make that dang guitar. You go ahead and make that guitar buddy. This one right here. So he starts to make it a man. He starts sending me all these pictures and stuff. It's like boom, bam. It's like every week, being bang new picture man. Working on rosettes. Boom. Messing with wood. Bam. Cut and stuff. Blamo. Headstock done. It was sweet dude. This is the whole process of like this thing being made. And him like sending me these pictures of the process. It was it was really really cool. So anyways, eventually jump ahead. I get the guitar right? Just a just big old brown box. That's usually what you ship things in. And I open that puppy up. I pull the case out, you know, because it's in a case. It's in a really nice case. And I whip it out and oh man dude. I just like in the case. I just went bring and I was like, I was like, yes dude. I was like, yes bro. Yes. That's what I want. I almost started crying. I'm not even joking. I actually did. I almost cried. I got a little juicy. But I know. Dude. I'm like, who do you think I am? I'm not going to cry. Because of a dumb old guitar. This thing is really great. So like I am just so thrilled with this thing. I want to talk a little bit about the thing. So the top of it is spruce. My other guitar is made of cedar. Spruce has, I don't know, they say it's like a little more high-endy, a little more bell-like or crystally or something. I know what they mean. It's hard to describe sound with words for sure. But yes. So the top is spruce. It's got a really cool tone to it. The back and sides are ziti kote. Ziti kote I think is how you say it. Looks like zero coat. You know some dank-ass alien wood from planet Zerbos. It's got a sick scoop. Cutaway. You see this little divot here? Not that full cutaway. No, dude. We don't mess with full on cutaways. We only cut the amount of wood out that we need to cut out. You know what I'm saying, dog? So this allows you to get up to the higher frets with a little bit more ease. In fact, it was funny when he was sending pictures of him cutting this out. Because literally he finished the whole guitar. And then he has to go with like a freaking hacksaw and just hack away at this beautiful curve. Imagine just like finishing this, you know, like spending like 120 hours like making a guitar. And then like you just, you gotta just start hacking away at it. But it turned out freaking amazing. The headstock. I really, really like this. It's like kind of asymmetrical. You see that? There's like a curve here. But, amen. You think there's a curve here? No. Two curves. You know what I'm saying? Two of them. Like a little little little spine, little half pipe spine. I used to skateboard. You guys don't know I'm talking about whatever. Dink, dink, knobs. I forget what he's called. String knobs. That's what they're called. Yeah. I'll go with that. They're so smooth, man. They're like, they're like straight on butter, dog. Can't believe it's not butter. Can't believe it's knobs and not butter. But the main thing that I love about this guitar is just like the way it sounds, the way it sounds initially. Initially and the way it, the sound keeps getting better. I know people say like, oh, you got a way for the guitar to open up. I was skeptical about that. I was like, I feel like people are just making that up. No, no, not at all. This thing is so dope and like, at the high end, it just keeps getting better. It's freaking amazing. I'm glad I waited a bit to do this video. I would have been like super hyped to do it immediately. But now, dude, I'm just like, it's just, it's so freaking rad. I feel like it's really dynamic. So I can play really, really quietly. And there's like more, I've got like, like, more room to sort of grow. I feel like I can also, I can feel, I can hear each note in a chord like really, really evenly. It's so freaking rad, man. I absolutely love it. Dude, if you're thinking about having a custom guitar made, look no further, okay? I want you hit up my boy, Evan Kingma. I'm going to put a link to his website down below in the description.
