Gotta pay respect to the OG. Not sure he gets the props he deserve for essentially giving birth to a full subgenre of UA-cam videos

    I wonder if you could make a plug that would seal off the top access port. It would just need to seal enough to reduce splashes when moving the guitar for a demo play/ maintenance and putting it back on the wall.

    Poor shrimp. It's almost funny how they all just got sucked up, though. Like they were fine and then all just wandered too close to the pump and that was it. Have you thought about adding any moss balls to the tank? Very nice aquarium, though! Glad you weren't tempted to color the resin. I thought when you were talking about the playability, you were joking, and then cut to you actually playing it full of water and plants and substrate! Commitment to the bit if I ever saw it! And it actually sounds good! Great job!

    Many years ago I stumbled upon a band called Brother and Sister and their website showed odd guitars one of them had built. One of them was what I think they called the Ant Farmitar. It was an acrylic body with some kind of algae-based gel in it where ants could live and tunnel without other food or water and the gel was said to be able to retain their tunnels even through playing. This build reminds me of that.

    If you don't plan on having live plants or animals in a future aquarium guitar you could use mineral oil instead of water! I think it would be easier to keep clean and maintain over time, also you wouldn't need to worry about isolating the electronics either given it's non conductive. Over all very cool, I'm impressed you actually made it into a working aquarium while being playable!

    You could make another one of these guitars and instead of an aquarium, take apart an Intel NUC or some other tiny computer and stuff it into this clear guitar. The computer guitar could be its own recording station. It would just need the regular jack for an amp but then one more jack for monitor output. Or you could put a little screen on the body somewhere. A portable computer that's also a guitar has a lot of interesting uses.

    The maintenance on this tank will eventually make you take it down, mark my words. The stem plants you chose grow extremely fast, but the carpeting plant will do you in eventually -- it will cover the entire substrate floor, and since the stem plants will be so thick it will be impossible to trim. Eventually the carpet will get so thick that it will block light to the bottom, which will then die, and the whole carpet will float to the top. Also, no livestock = algae explosion
