This is probably a crazy idea but as the kids have the huge 3m diameter above ground pool up in the garden I was wondering if I could use it to do some kind of underwater guitar playing shots for videos. Obviously I wouldnt do this with a good guitar but was wondering jsut how damaging it would be to a guitar if immediately dried off again afterwards?
Is it going to basically hose the guitar? I would of coiurse buy a cheap harley benton for the purposes but seems a cit destructive if its basically going to be scrap wood afterwards.

And you will never ever get the shot you want in 1 take. So it's going to be soaking wet for multiple takes. Even if you dry between you'll never get it dry under the pickups like that.
The neck will probably fill up with water along the truss rod too.
If you really want to do this - get a £20 "parts only" beater from ebay.

EDIT: as per fretmeister above - perhaps not so easily…
If you can dry it out properly, which is very very hard to do, and will require you to basically break the guitar down to it's individual parts, you'll have no issues, even with the electronics, but again really not easy to properly dry out. There was a YouTube video doing the rounds perhaps 7 years ago filmed in South America, of a guitar tech who literally was ''washing'' an R9 in a basin full of soapy water, he then dries it off, sets it up, plugs it in, and the bloody thing worked. I personally wouldn't do it with a guitar I cared about in the slightest way, one that I would bin insteasd of repair, like a HB or Squire, yeh for a laugh maybe.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
