The art of the guitar build

Interesting build, not mine though...

Apparently, according to social media, this is the only guitar that has ever been made.

Id love to hear a tone wood debate at this point!

I'll see if I can pencil something in.

Until you get another conventional good strat side by side you can't say if wood makes a difference , i thought it was ok nothing special, you tube clips don't help either

I did like it though, how heavy is it anyone know

Is it usable? Can't imagine it being very strong.

Using all those pencils seems a bit pointless !

It’s bound to colour the tone a bit.

More seriously (than the inevitable tonewood debate ), obviously the epoxy resin will strengthen the surface of the pencil block, but how far through the fibres is it likely to travel without positive/negative pressure applied?

And similarly, how much of a strength loss will there be due to the wax within the (probably) cedar pencils? I don't mean from an overall structural point of view, but for the ability of the 'matrix' to hold screws/bolts for various bits of hardware attached?

An interesting project, and a lovely finish, indeed.

Looking at how easily the neck pocket cutting gave way it doesn't look that a dense or strong a material. Interesting project though and does sound nice to me at the end of the video, if a little bright for my tastes.
