Made in concrete/cement. I imagine this is one heavy guitar to play. Must of been fun tightening neck bolts. You'd of also thought he would if at least laid some wood on top as it cured to give a nice wood grain finish lol. Heaps of sustain.

I missed this post KB, I've seen and heard concrete guitars on youtube, they can sound pretty good but pretty impractical. Would probably weigh as much as the telemonster !

How are your guitar builds going?
I've always wondered what the result you'd get if you tried building a Strat style guitar with a body made from a piece of Australian Ironwood, assuming you had some machine tools hard enough to do the body shaping, I'd imagine that the tone would be bright, with a good amount of sustain due to the hardness of the Ironwood, I've seen a pic of a Strat body made from sheet Aluminium on the internet somewhere.

Awesome, have you posted some pics?, I'm interested in checking it out.
hey Doc here's the jazz bass build diary from the start. There's a short demo on page 9 but it was rushed and the bass isn't 100% set up yet but you get the idea. Final pics are on page 7
