Jan 12th, 2019: Guitar Body Build
He spent $500 to build a guitar body out of colored pencils, he already had the neck and hardware.
It would be a lot of work but you could make cool patterns, pictures, or words out of specific lead colors. Quote:

Could have used a very light sheet of fiberglass, maybe just on the back and/or sides for some strength.

If he did that you wouldn't see the pencils which was the point.

Still could see the front. The back's gonna have buckle rash, and who cares about the sides...
I'd think that much epoxy would be plenty strong.

Depends on where he wears his buckle and the sides(edges) are the best effect. Without them the face could be a picture glued on.

clear fiberglass and clear epoxy makes a clear finish. you can see examples of that all over the place, boatbuilders use this technique all the time. It can be made invisible.

Light fiberglass is invisible when wetted down with resin, epoxy or polyester.

Translucent, but I've never seen transparent, but that's a moot point, he's working with a solid block and doesn't need any fiberglas.

In any case, though, you do want to avoid having this thing be like over 9-10 lbs. heavy, or it will be a PITA to play. And here your tonewood is basically epoxy... did we talk tonewoods in the guitar building thread?

A bit. Not as important as a solid construction with an electric, but the esoteric artisan will naturally prefer expensive sounding materials and espouse the superior quality of sound that they generate. In my opinion, light hard wood assembled precisely is the key.
Acoustics are a different story. I saw a carbon fiber acoustic.

Not as expensive as I was expecting. A little steep, but not too bad.

Thanks Aradralami, that was interesting. A bonus is that the carbon fiber look is very popular in a lot of fields, probably because it's associated with light, strong, high-performance, expensive toys.
