It is impossible as the neck is solid. It would be impossible to set the strings up as the tension bar in wood necks compliments the tension of the strings and creates a bend in the neck for the action.

Both Teles and Stats are great guitars (I like Teles, not personally a fan of Stats at all) but dude, those are 60+ year old guitar designs. Guitar design has come a long way since then.

@@Dwightpower88 Sure, but timeless doesn't mean they're still the greatest guitar designs ever. All guitars designed back in the 50s and 60's, from Teles and Stats, to Les Pauls and SGs, all have some pretty glaring design flaws that could be improved upon, but both Fender and Gibson are stuck on tradition. Hell, the development of the "Super Strat" in the 80's should tell you all you need to know about the shortcomings of the original Stat's design. People love these guitars because they're stuck on nostalgia. Personally I love Les Pauls, but shit, there's a bunch of things I wish Gibson would address with that design.

Guitar snobs will say the chrome isn’t letting the metal breathe. Needs more sustain 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Damn. And here I was struggling for days just to make a guitar pickguard out of stainless steel. To be fair though, I only had a hand saw, a Dremel and a cheap table router, none of which particularly well equipped for cutting high-carbon steel. Wish I had had a torch/plasma cutter like you're using. Beautiful work. I like it.

Awesome build. Would definitely love to hear how it sounds too.

Really cool Paul, awesome job! 😃👍🏻🎸👊🏻

This guitar is gonna be heavy as hell, however you´ve done a great job. I wish I could play it ¡¡

Great piece of art dude. Awesome job.

Gibson actually gave the “metal” body Les Paul some serious thought and produced a one off prototype. A hollow body version made of welded aluminum pieces to scale with a “carved” top and a rosewood neck. It’s a piece of art and is beautiful! They quickly put an end to any further development because it sounds like absolute garbage!!! Thin and tinny. Absolutely no warmth to speak of. Like I said it’s freaking gorgeous !!! A friend, who is a serious guitar collector, owns this guitar. He has many one offs and prototypes from Gibson and Fender, including five hand painted Strats, made for Hugh Hefner , with PlayBoy pin up girls. Pretty cool stuff

Great project man, just saw you on FiF's KZread upload, congrats!!

Wow, Amazing JOB !!

Looks very beautiful!

Now that's a guitar that can take out a speaker! So shiny!

I thought a good idea would be to use used train wheels, smelt them, then pour the smelted metal into a mold that is in the shape of a custom guitar with a neck, and apply the smelted metal to other molds as well utilizing everything from the same train Wheels to build the same product. The real work in this case is building the molds themselves, because that's where the artwork customization sculpting comes into play, the rest of the guitar should be built like blacksmithing, and routing out the actual metal pieces to make for the electrical parts of the guitar. As for the rest of the guitar it should be fully Iron and Steel, and because it's made in the mold the neck and the body would be one piece.

It was worth every single second Edit: but I noticed something, when he does the close up to the pickups, the strings have very high action

That looks gorgeous!!

Whew...I'm so glad you made a hollow body instead of a solid body. Work of art!

Amazing video. I have one question. How tick is the steel in mm from the plates? Thx for your answer. Best regards!

Never mind the negative comments Paul , it's beautiful work. You clearly have great fabrication skills. It's perhaps an unusual piece , maybe even impractical , so even if it is unplayable so what, like Leandro Batt says below - it's a scultpture . I enjoyed watching your video

Great Job BRO!
