There's a Finnish company that injection molds guitars from a wood-plastic composite: www.flaxwood.com

Anyone else spot sea doggo at 8secs on 2nd video?

Congratulations that looks super nice, how much does weigh? I used to play a Dan Armstrong Bass it was acrylic weighed 10 lbs

Your fly is down...
JJ2078
+1 for the choice of a Telecaster.
TimTheEnchantersTwinBrotherJim
Holy shit I'm planning on building a bass and this is on the idea list for sure!

Yuck

Two guys in Buffalo just drowned trying to get a piece of driftwood.

So nowadays if you wanna make something cool you just submerge stuff in epoxy and then form it into the desired shape.

Now let's smash it on stage

Fender it's gonna sue you for infringing on the Squier line.
GodDamnGuy
I'm fucking impressed

Now if this was made with that glow in the dark, neon blue/green epoxy....omg hit that nut button.
EricAirheart
I am glad you chose that as the front. Better side. +1

And then he went and founded Driftwood Mac.

Call me crazy, but Driftwood-epoxy composite makes a terrible resonator and that's why it sounds like shit.

TeachAndChong
Totally - I like the appearance but this is definitely not the way to make a consistently reverberating tone. Will play absolutely terribly
Coruxus
Don’t know if I love the design, but I can appreciate the effort and the resulting art
ElTitoMojito
I was thinking the same thing, that's super ugly
mostadequatebboy
Not for me. I didn’t like the relic look that was huge a few years ago either. Each to their own though!
Linnywtf
A lot more epoxy and a lot less wood than I imagined.
trpbritguy
Indeed.. More like an epoxy guitar with driftwood detail!
TheHumanCentipanzer
At the end of the day its always less wood than you expected amirite?
Linnywtf
That's what my wife said
ThisUsernameIsBananas
I made an invisible guitar. The sound is amazing but it’s really quiet.
zeroexistence
Only the smart ones can hear it.

John Hughes at his finest.
flarflarf
I expected to hate it but it actually looks real nice
BURNtheZEPPELIN
It does look very nice but I was hoping for it to be a clearish blue so it would look like water.

Iguessthisismyjobnow
can we see the finished?

TheUglyGuy
Pretty cool, but that is a lot of epoxy!
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
That guitar is mostly bowling ball and a little wood.
LosPer
Not sure about the tonal quality of epoxy, either.
TheUglyGuy
Won't matter on an electric.
khold90
Yeah, that sound is really not good... Guitars are made from wood for a reason.
TheUglyGuy
Won't make a bit of difference in an electric.
unsignificantuser
On the other hand: this is not an aucoustic guitar, so the sound that the corpus produces isn' too important. I'm concerned about the weight
paleofuturism
electrical guitar company (aluminum) guitars sound amazing. the ampeg dan armstrong sounds amazing. danelectros/silvertones... all not wood.
mattsall
$100 worth at a guess. Dunno if that's reasonable for a guitar body or not
Tunisia
Guitars are so fucking cheap.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Considering he could ~ double profit on the right project, yeah, it's worth it. Artists sell based on many variables; not just supplies.
whithea
The epoxy he uses is about 175$ /4L, pretty sure a finished guitar is going to be closer to $1000 once it’s all said and done.
