ScrapGuitar S8

A planet proof player made of an old pallet coverd in epoxy resin.

When the body of this black beauty was roughly shaped we put it in a plastic bag and added the epoxy resin. Another bag went over it and we created a vacuüm. With this technique the strange pattern on the body was created. Then layers and layers of black paint were aplied and finnished with a lot of clear coats.

The control and pickup coverplates are handcrafted out of polished aluminium.

The neck is made from scraps of oak and mahogany, treated with black grain filler to give it that "vintage" look. The fret board is also made from mahogany. Of course the neck is clear coated and polished.

The body feels like a stratocaster the way it contacts your own body. Because of the single coil pickups and the non tremelo bridge it sounds more like a telecaster. 

The neck has a 10 inch radius and feels verry thin, the action is arround 2mm at the 12th fret.
