Thanks for this idea. I bet you can fill those holes where the popsicle sticks meet with wood epoxy or something similar. chawlk, etc. if you didn't want the pattern.
ja i left a comen on your youtube video too and i have a question (another) you think its posible to make a solid body or a semi-hollow guitar or maybe a mandolin ive alwais wanted 1
Hey, did anybody figure out who that was playing in the background? Busupholstery, maybe you can help us with that. Awesome looking guitar! Great craftsmanship!
The sound track is Garrick Davis......"GD Blues....." I got it on youtube standard tracks when installing my upload......I think it's great......Thanks for all the complements on the guitar
Next project: Bass made out of toothpicks! Kidding. I did not expect how much of the guitar would actually be made out of the sticks (The neck? Wow.) Was this frustrating or can I try something like this on a smaller scale? Say, a Ukulele?
Great work, almost luthier like :) Looks great, it even reminds me of my wooden floor inlay and colour, nice. Very boutique. One question though, what song did you use on your youtube video? I really like the wah-wah intro and the hammond solo. :) PS Do you know David Gogo ? Try to find his Blues Medley, its great ( and 9 minutes long.)
just plug you guitar into the Line In on your sound card. you need a mini din to Jack adapter. such as: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=guitar+to+computer+cable&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=468124153024647432&ei=gXYJTJn7E8H6lwe_vZCtDg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CD0Q8wIwAg# then use Windows Sound Recorder ( free with Windows) make a .wav file
Man, who in the heck is that playing on the soundtrack for your video? That group is awesome! Are you in the audio, is this guitar in it? Give us a name, please! I want to hear more of them...
You'd think the Popsicle sticks would give it a hollow sound - not very good for resonating. Could you post a video of a few chords, so that we could hear it?
highjacked: Most popsicle sticks are made of either white birch or basswood, both utilized in guitars...the only thing is that no matter what method he had used, it is, as he said, made of popsicle sticks, which aren't absolutely uniform, and cannot be glued tight enough to resonate particularly well.
I love this project, one of the best I've seen on here in a good long time. We need some more instrument ones.
Agree with comments on the soundtrack! Awesome. The video reminds me of a clip from Sesame Street that takes a "field trip" through a saxophone (or was it trumpet) factory and they're playing awesome notes as sound effects as the sax makes it down the assembly line. Beautiful workmanship, beautiful finish - also curious about the sound, integrity after tightening strings, etc.
This is one of the most impressive and amazing instructables that I have ever seen, and I will probably be making this... I would like to know how it sounds though.
I may just have to try this some day.
I hope someday I can embark on a project like this, and come out with something half as good.
I view this instructable every few weeks, just for inspiration....wow.
Busupholstery, maybe you can help us with that.
Awesome looking guitar! Great craftsmanship!
Nice one!

Nice work!...Most would have given up midway through.
Amazing workmanship, seriously.
Estimated - how many hours did this take?
