    Imagine being that old pallet and preparing to become firewood. And then suddenly out of nowhere you become a guitar. How amazing is that please?

    In the past couple years, I have watched this video several times. It inspired me to build a few guitars electric and acoustic, something that a few years ago I could never have imagined doing. Thanks, Tim Sway. You have proven to me that not only can almost anyone build a working guitar from scratch (not a parts-caster, but from boards and fret wire), but that a guitar can be built out of almost anything.

    Well .. once upon a time a friend just drove through the harbour of hamburg to all those storage houses in search for good wood. He had in his van some pallets for exchange. The guys who ran those storage houses had no problem whatsoever when he wanted one special pallet and gave one of his in exchange. And a bottle of liquor and a tip on top. For them pallet was pallet. But he knew better. The better Pallets are made of locally cheap but sturdy wood. And in some countries that is (or was) teak or similar exotic hard woods. Pallets are used again and again and again. So it's quite possible to find a pallet that is real old and seen a lot of places.

I could still work without the table saw, but man I'm glad to have it! my machine is a cncrouterparts.com and you can get in the game for well under $10k with a smaller machine like mine. $6k-ish, depending upon the trimmings. you assemble yourself but it's easy.

    Love it, nice! Probably would've made the body double the thickness to have more body to the sound, but it really is just down to personal taste.

      cheers. I was in to making very thin guitars when I made this batch, but I did get a little carried away.

      It would give more body to the guitar but nothing to the sound.

    Check in Memphis to see if Gibson left any pallets not destroyed. Premium stuff I'm sure.
