Finally I realise how much goes into making a guitar! Looks incredible. Sounds good too!

Very nice idea and lovely to see you can build it...out of pencils....although a bucket load of resin is used to hold the stuff together.
Almost like the cardboard strat from a few years back...resin is king.
The guitars build in these video's sounding good....but never in comprising with a wooden one at the same time...
Tin hat in place ;)

I'd have been tempted to put better pickups on, those on there looked like cheap ceramics. After all, something as distinctive-looking as that, really ought to sound good too.

I might also have arranged the colours to give a bit more of a sunburst effect.

(I'd want a clear one with licorice allsorts inside.)

And here's his second attempt, which I think looks even better than the first:
