A guy posted a video on youtube of him making a guitar body out of resin, thought this would be of interest to my fellow forum members:

That is really interesting...although it's also a little nuts. 12 lbs? Yikes!

Not really endorsing this build, but I do like the idea of building a guitar like you would build a surfboard. I actually thought that's wherre epoxy guy was going when the video started. I don't think this particular build is solid enough in the bridge area...but the idea is sort of intriguing ;-)

It would have been great if the guy had given us an audio demo so we could hear what the guitar sounds like.

Well, there's a bit of audio. Check out at 2.50 and at 4.45. Not bad. To my ear it sounds like it has less sustain than the "regular" teles, which I am guessing is partly because the bridge is not mounted on something as solid as hardwood.

I have watched all his videos and the coloured pencil ones seem to have worked the best. Cool concept but the weight problem with using epoxy is an issue, not to mention the toxic sanding dust too.
