...they done went and made a Fender Stratocaster out of cardboard that actually sounds like a Fender Strat!!! Will this lead to a market for "exotic card stock"???? (of course the answer is no....unless someone figures out how to get people to pay more money for it)

That is brilliant, I imagine you don't want to play it on a rainy day without a good overhanging roof on the stage.
Thank for posting

[snigger] I'm assuming this has all been resin impregnated in an autoclave after initial forming. A bit of a cheat really.

You can see it changes colour at about 2:05 and there are areas of resin on the back of the neck just after.

Sounds like a Strat. The fact that it plays at all is kinda remarkable. Honestly. It's cardboard.
Anyone care to guess what this guitar weighs? I'm also wondering what the screws are grabbing onto. I mean you can see through the body so there must be some "filler" somewhere?

As to the tone wood debate, I guess we now must include cardboard. Maybe this particular cardboard was made from alder pulp? :D Great video. Thanks for sharing, 93greenstrat

Cheers!
