I made a minimalist electric guitar, and I want to share with you how I made it. There is nothing superfluous in it - only the minimum set that is needed for an electric guitar.
People love different shapes of guitars. Someone likes Gibson SG, Les Paul, Explorer or Flying V. Someone likes Fender Strat or Telecaster, Mustang or Jazzmaster. Someone likes Superstrats, crazy BC Rich Warlock or Mockingbird. And I thought: what if I make a DIY guitar without a body at all. Well, more precisely, it will have a body, but a minimalist and simplest one - so that only the most necessary things fit on it.
It's kind of like a cigar box guitar, but without the box.
To make the body, I found an old wooden board (about 10 centimeters wide). Therefore, I think that this recycled project can definitely be called Trash to Treasure. I also used the cheapest single pickup (about $4) and the cheapest Fixed Non String Through Hardtail Bridges I could find ($10). The most expensive part of the guitar is the neck. I used an old neck from an old cheap Harley Benton guitar (the whole guitar was less than $60).
