... I said "I want a lead guitar......!"

No puns, I really like that.  It's kinda '70's disco.

Saw it on the other fb a couple of days ago. I think it looks fantastic!

So in a fight between this and those guitars made out of skateboards who wins ?

Wow that looks great imo. 

Sassafras

Sharp.

Wonky

Very interesting and pretty cool too.

Cue debate about whether body material colours the sound.

Does it play like butter, magnolia, gardenia, cream or buff?

thumpingrug

I rather like that.

Some might say that it’s more interesting than what Fender is churning out atm.

Well it’s original!

Nice rundown of the build:

It's about 10lbs so no featherweight!

A lot of work but brilliantly done. Would have been a lot lighter if he'd taken the lead out first.

Great for playing songs like 'send in the crayons', 'No woman no crayon,' or anything by Lead Zeppelin, or Lead-belly.

Now, if only he'd stuck a rubber on the headstock, it would be great for Erasure songs too.

I feel quite drawn to it

I liked the bits in the video where he was drilling or routing and the sawdust came out in different colours.

This is so cool.

It's like a cool idea someone comes up with after a joint but never actually does but he's actually done it!

robgilmo

That all paints a pretty impressive picture,

Something to wax lyrical about.

The builder needs a large pencil case - anyone got one?

I love watching a guitar build and that one was really interesting - not sure I'd like such a heavy strat though!

should've used lighter colours
