Pretty cool.
He builds a bass too using a similar technique.

He's done several like this using other stuff. I saw a vid by a guy that poured colored resin into a mold he made for a guitar body. He griped about it being a bit too heavy; guess he never heard about the reason why the Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar line never quite got off the ground:  |

I had one of those.
Didn't like it at the time, but I sure wish I had it now.

Oh yeah. 12 lbs of boat anchor.
But the real ones are very collectible.

It didn't ROCK.
The (interchangeable) pickups that I had at the time weren't the sound I was looking for, and I had no clue (or internet) to find different ones.
And now, they're worth about four grand.

Keef played one on tour in the 70s for a brief while.
I have a feeling they were used for props in this vid. Certainly not in the studio:
Jeez Looeez, Dan, you can drive a truck through them teefs!

Pretty cool. He builds a bass too using a similar technique. Novel idea! Not my type thing but I have to commend them for the thought and time spent creating probably the most unique guitar ever made |

It might reveal the spot on my shirt trying to eat and play at the same time LOL  |

The resin guitars I've played all sounded like poop. It was about as unideal of of a building material for an instrument as you could imagine. The colored pencils and other things are a good idea for the weight factor, though... those are very light weight, so it hopefully averages out a bit. Might sound (marginally) better, too.
