NO MORE LIES! – What Is This Guitar REALLY Made Of?


Enough is enough! “Composite Rosewood”? What’s is this guitar really made of? Sawdust and glue? 100 piece body? Styrofoam? We take the Firefly Rosewood Tele and look INSIDE! THEN… we glue it right back together!

  • Imagine how upset I was when we got to the end of the video…. I’d been careful to pause at every step so I could follow along….

  • know what's messed up? I found this today… looking up anything I could do with glue for inlays and ended up seeing this so thought i'd watch in case I figured something out. When you removed the tape, i knew something was off lol then peeped the comments… then the upload date lmao Bro, I sat through that whole video ads and all lol

  • Any engineer who's worth their salt will tell you the material an electric guitar is made from has virtually zero influence on its sound quality. There have been plenty of experiments done on it. The type of wood has virtually no impact on the sound quality either.

  • That body chop was painful to watch! Interesting, but painful. So happy you were able to restore it to better-than-new condition. Pro tip – If you chop it and glue it together about 80 times, it will improve the tone, increase the value 500%, and make the guitar unbreakable. That's how they make Ginsu knives…

  • OMG – your humor is exceptional – I love that fact you shred, have hair that Glen Danzig would be jealous of, and can take the piss out of all these poseurs on YouTube who have to prove through their video's that they are smarter than you. Thanks for the time you put into this stuff. Keep doing the no edit vids and supporting our local guitar guys at AIO.

  • Really good video. I was actually considering this guitar, but was very concerned about what the body was made of. "composite" had me thinking "particle board" but thankfully it appears to be real rosewood. Might be worth getting.

  • I'm late to the game but a couple things I noticed, first when he layed down the first layer of masking tape it had a slight wrinkle to it and when it was time to remove it the wrinkle disappeared. Also, we never got to see the back of the guitar.

  • pretty good about how he set up ;the tape and did the whole heat thing before he actually cut it open. Or did he just have 2 of the same guitar?

  • Woos is plentiful and cheap, not sure why people think its expensive. Sure if you source if from someone that hunts it down and finds the select piece. You can go to a good lumber yard and get everything you need to make a AAAA top les paul or whatever for less than 100. Find an old piano for free online (they are everywhere). The wood in some of them is immaculate, aged, ornate, and at the time sourced to be the best quality for musical instruments. The chinese have trees there also, so good wood is not unheard of for pennies.

  • Are you related to David Leisure? He played a fictional character called Joe Isuzu.

  • I bought a Kramer guitar a couple months ago wanting to make a Eddie Van Halen frankenstrat, it was pure junk!! Not even real wood! Saw dust with glue
