I just noticed you embedded a vid, then saw the Youtube embed button....I was wondering why the formatting buttons moved to a different row (last week?), I figured it was just my monitor.

 Coool !!  ;D  that'll be nice.

I liked his playing there at the end; very nice.

That's certainly an interesting looking guitar, especially the back; well, not just the back.

I wonder if drilling the bridge holes through the "darker" colored pencil lead would create a more powerful fundamental.....  :) 
Where are we going...and why am I in this Handbasket?

an instrument like that looks likely to produce the odd brown note.

All those pencils, huh . . . . . . . . just the thing to wail on some Lead Zeppelin.

That is really cool, nice playing also.

Maybe a graphite neck...

Very creative use of just the tools you happen to have around the garage/shop. If he would have sprayed more clear and built it up and then wet sanded it and then built it up more till it was flat and then rubbed it out in stages then I think he could have gotten a nice glossy finish. Pretty guitar!
