(playing guitar)
- Welcome back to What's Inside,
I'm Lincoln, this is Dan.
- Today we have this beautiful electric guitar.
We found this at a thrift shop,
somebody had donated it to the thrift shop
and so we were able to buy it for a pretty good price.
And it's very fun, it's, I took one semester
of high school guitar lessons a long time ago.
And so it's fun to pick one up again and play,
makes me a little bit sad that I'm gonna have to cut it open
but just for you guys and for What's Inside,
we have to do this, we have to cut it open.
Okay, we're ready to cut open this
Hammer Slammer Series Daytona guitar
made in Korea.
It's a beautiful guitar, I'm excited to cut it open
and see what it's gonna look like inside.
What do you think it's gonna look like?
- I think there might be some wires,
but mostly I think it's gonna be plastic.
- Okay, plastic?
Alright, well, I have no idea what's gonna be inside
so this is gonna be an adventure,
no matter what, for me.
(saw motor whirring)
I've made a very good dent in this.
It's pretty far through all the way around,
except up here is the tough part, where the neck is,
so I'm gonna do something that I don't usually do,
which is use a screwdriver
so I can take off this neck part
and then I should be able to cut through that a lot easier.
Oh, there it goes.
So, look.
There's the guitar with it down, like that,
and then once I take the screws off...
- Whoa!
- It's just the strings on there.
- Oh.
- There's the neck, there's the body.
Making progress!
Now I'm gonna go cut this thing in half
and finish it off!
- Yes!
(saw whirring)
- Alright, now we are back inside.
I am hoping to chisel this open,
I've cut all the way around it,
just missing a few pieces.
So I did as much as I could that was safe.
So now let's chisel this thing
and see if we can crack it open.
(hammer clangs)
- Ha, it's like down there a ways.
It's going down.
Whoa!
- That's progress.
Ah, it's getting so close!
Alright, we're there!
We're there, kind of!
Ready?
- Yes.
Wow!
- Look at all that wood.
- Whoa!
There's so much wood all the way around it,
there's like these wires and plugs.
- Those springs are what was keeping it together
on this guy, right here.
This thing has springs attached to it.
So here's underneath it.
Take a look, these are...
These must be the magnetic strips
that pick up the vibrations from the strings
when you play the guitar,
and send it through these cords
and down through and ultimately to right here,
where if you look on the other side, that's the plug-in
where the amplifier goes.
And then here are those little metal things
that are for the strings.
And then if you look right here there's these three buttons,
the volume, the tone, and the other tone.
And you look on the other side,
here's each one of them
with the different wires onto it.
This one's unique right here.
Every different level that you turn it,
it changes to a different sound or a different tone.
And then you can see under here,
each one of them is represented
by each one of these little cords.
So very interesting, and then of course a lot of wood.
- Mystery solved, that's what's inside
of an electric guitar!
- There we go, there's the inside.
Wood and wires.
Another one down, thank you so much for all of
your suggestions that you leave in the comments below,
that's where we get many of the ideas for these videos.
And thank you for liking our videos,
and for being a fan.
And we're going to continue cutting things open
so keep on watching!
