When custom shop means custom shop

I remember reading about this in a guitar magazine. Sadly not much info to be found!

Super cool.

I’d imagine the price of that to be even more eye-watering than the weight.

Wouldn’t all the colours eventually all merge into a brown ? wouldnt look as good then.

As they’ve used food dye for the colours does it have a use by date?

Maybe. I remember this one had an interesting story - it was won in a competition, where people could design their own. The original design had no aluminium and was just a filled plastic guitar, but they had to change it to make it work. 

I don't know if they'd merge in quick time, though - if they were careful about colours and solvents, it could take an awful long time. I think it's a super cool Idea, though the builder said it was (obviously) fairly heavy. Apparently it sounded fantastic.
