The first guitar that would need its own workers comp insurance. Osha audited and regular visits to the chiropracter for shoulder therapy..

Women can't think of anything. Only men are attracted to men who are I applaud this man's spirit of challenge.

[@NwoDispatcher]

Bold claim

[@redorrick427]

yes and don't forget to give us a demo please ,thank you.

This is really great! A truly impressive project. I must caution you that having a Ferrous (If it is steel) aperture around the pickup is going to cause the magnetic field to go astray changing the output (possibly) drastically. The output will likely be lower and the tone will change - for the better? Who knows? You may want to use a non ferrous material like brass (or aluminum) for the area around the pickup. If you have another tele to test, you could cut a pickup hole in a steel sheet and just try placing it over the pickup to see how it affects the output. I look forward to the completion of this!

After looking at the internets, it appears that I don't know what I am talking about when it comes to the steel bridge, so carry on... Super cool project!

[@funkmoose4404]

man that things gonna be heavy!! maybe hammering out the sheet metal into specific shapes for the body would thin out the sheet metal making it lighter and create a more resonant instrument?

[@AbsorberofLight]

It's gonna be 8 pounds. About same weight as an older tele. Sure you can also do it the way you describe.

awesome video, im waiting for part 3 cuz i will make my own guitar soon

[@nguoicoon5512]

Wowwwww..... Its awesome

[@felixdietzCGN]

i thought it would be this open wire-frame design. I dont know if an electric guitar needs a vibrating soundboard (i dont think so?) but both ways should look very cool!

[@redorrick427]

WHEN IS PART 3 COMING?

[@Velkus96]

Yeah, what the hell man!

[@brianboni4876]

A steel Tele needs a b-bender. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-Bender

[@AbsorberofLight]

yes! love the b-bender concept!

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Should have left it at skeleton.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Maybe next one captain

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Absorber Of Light I'd buy one.
