Materials: NUMERAR wooden countertop
Description: After seeing another hack on this site where someone made a guitar out of a wooden cutting board, I decided to try it for myself. They don't carry that cutting board at Ikea anymore, but I did find two NUMERAR wooden countertops in the scratch 'n' dent section for $10 each instead of about $90 each.
I reused the necks from two guitars belonging to myself and a friend. I topped mine with a Brazilian rosewood veneer and his with something called "wormy ambrosia maple."
All together it took about 6 months to do both guitars, as much because of procrastination as anything. I'm happy with how they turned out, but it was a lot of work and I don't think I'll be building anything else for a while.

Thanks so much, guys. They are seven strings and they do play well, thankfully. For that much work, it would have been a shame if they were only wall decorations...
ReplyDeleteOMG! whoever you are - you ROCK!
ReplyDeleteSurely, making a guitar is a tough task. Where can i get a good guitar in Texas? Thanks.
