How it's made? Hayburner Oil Can Guitar

7/9/2017

One of the biggest questions we get is, "how did you make that?!" There's no secret, just a lot of trial and error, skill, practice, and lots of work. Here's how we do it.
  • Vintage/Antique Motor Oil Cans are purchased from art collectors, antique shops, dealers, flea markets, and online
  • 3 days spent washing, cleaning, soaking and sanitizing the cans. The cans are 50+ years old so it takes a while to get all the old oil and stuff out of there. "Very dirty part of the job!"
  • We make a template and spend hours of time using a rotary blade to carefully, meticulously cut through the metal to prep for installation/assembly for the neck, pickups, pots, jack, etc
  • Solder the pickups, pots, jack, etc
  • Sharp edges are sanded and filed so they are safe to the touch. A rubber gasket is also carefully applied and  glued to the bottom edge. Rubber feet are installed to the bottom so the Hayburner can stand upright with no stand
  • We purchase all new parts, necks, pickups, hardware etc, then we crown and polish the frets and assemble the  Hayburner Guitar
  • Definitely a labor of love!

I also have the same belief as you. I believe that we should keep trying whenever we fail to do something. Failure is the first step to success. If we give up after one failure, who knows what could we have achieved. I think that this is the reason why some people are successful, because of hard work and dedication.

The process is a lot harder than most people would think. Always great to see the meticulous work of a guitar builder. Keep it up.
