There’s some serious work in this, and a not inconsiderable amount of skill and artisanship. The Lab will however be sticking to timber.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
All those tools and he hasn't got a 10mm spanner to do the tuner nuts up with so uses pliers!
No indication of how playable it is and how neck-heavy the guitar now is.
Lots of craftsmanship, but I feel it could be put to better use.
yeah, I especially liked some of the shots of his cutting rig. It obviously works but man, it’s MacGuyvered to all hell.Originally Posted by Simon Barden

You have to admire the skill but I can't help but think truss rod adjustment a are going to be noisy and will require eye protection.

Due to the rigidity of the material, dey ain't no truss rod in that puppy! Your alignment and nut/bridge angles would need to be spot on for every build.
At USD 969 a pop, I'll stick to making my FrankenLab Maple/Ebony ones thanks.

I checked-out another video by the same guy, he included a demo of one of the glass guitars he builds, and honestly, they sound just like a regular guitar made from wood, so, that basically debunks the whole tonewoods thing.
