My T-Style Harley Benton entry for the

This is my entry for #diykitchallenge22
I have been shaping it with a series of files, engraved it with a Berserker logo and burnt that with a soldering iron. I then used a blow torch to burn the body and headstock. I have sanded/varnished/sanded/varnished on repeat until I like the finish and I have waxed and buffed a few times.
The headstock represents the waves on the sea and has it's own little Berserker logo burnt in.
The scratch plate is made form a roasting dish!
To make this video I used a Boss Octave pedal going into a Marshall JCM2000 (50) - For the rhythm and main guitar part, its just the guitar into the Marshall - all reverb is from the amp or my cave!

Great looking and sounding guitar sir!

@@TroglodyteMusic You are welcome. That's because the body is probably made of rengas wood (from Asia). My SG is made of the same wood and indeed very light too :) It would be great if you a take a look at my attempt to build my first DIY guitar too... :) I must say I learned a lot and would like to see your opinion, maybe some tips and tricks :) Have a great day!

What is the pickguard made of? Thanks. I like the look of it.

It's actually a £3 non stick roasting sheet from the local indoor market. I took the plastic one from the pack and traced around it on the roasting sheet. I then used big scissors, the kind you cut roofing lead with. Cheeky file around the edged to get rid of any sharp bits and that was that! I was concerned that it might make the guitar noisy but it didn't
