That had to be hard to make.

Can you imagine walking on stage to play and a strap slips off, guitar hits the floor and shatters. Opps!

Has a P90 pickup in it. Wonder if it was prone to feedback problems? I would've made a box for the pickup to go in that inserts into the guitar. Awesome engineering.

 That's really cool.

 Having done ceramic work myself makes it all the more impressive. He'd have to account for probably 10% shrinkage during firing (like they discussed with drilling the holes). Slumping of the body, glaze sticking to shelves... So many things could have gone wrong at any stage.

 Amazing to see it last 50+ years.

What about building one out of Milliput. No shrinkage

That guitar is amazing! That is soooo hard to do. I have dabbled with Ceramic bodies but have been less than happy with my experiments.
