“This project took around 7 months (or roughly 800 hours) to complete. I wanted to join in the trend where people make guitars from strange materials, but I didn’t want to use any epoxy. I decided on popsicle sticks as it could be manipulated various ways to give very different results. Each stick would be able to give me 4 pixels which could be used for the body. 29,000 pixels were needed. They were then dyed in a custom vacuum chamber, glued into blocks of 100 and finally the whole body could be glued together. The neck, fingerboard and headstock were also made up of popsicle sticks.”
