OK. I went to Sticks R US and am now ready to figure out what to do with them. And away we go. Can you find the tele in the 2200 sticks?

Maybe next year...

Looking at this thread is going to be the highlight of my day over the next couple months.

I think your right

. I know one thing, that's a loooooooootttt of dog biscuits

I've been spending a lot of time thinking that I don't want to get glue all over my already dry hands...I may need to build a glue applicator with some foam rollers or something.

Shut

the Front

door

No freakin' way....can't wait to see this come together

jkingma · March 16th, 2012, 07:15 AM

I think you're gonna need more titebond.

Guitar novice · March 16th, 2012, 07:33 AM

What a cool idea.

If it sounds good it will add to the debate that tonewood is not that important!

ModerneGuy · March 16th, 2012, 07:35 AM

The dog biscuits part of the build?

guitarbuilder · March 16th, 2012, 08:35 AM

KibbleKaster....hmmmm

Ryden · March 16th, 2012, 08:45 AM

Tonewoodsie?

guitarbuilder · March 16th, 2012, 09:48 AM

I've got 2 layers gluing now under a few body blanks. I sprayed some posterboard with some spray glue which is like rubber cement. That holds the sticks still some, but isn't more than tacky. I used white glue because I wanted it to get between the sticks. The sticks aren't necessary straight, so the 2nd layer overlaps the joints. I'll let this dry and see if it is sandable and then apply maybe a 3rd layer overlapping the joints on the other side too. I'll show a shot of this if it holds together.

I can see a craft stick neck done pretty easily but wide surfaces will be harder.

jpbturbo · March 16th, 2012, 09:56 AM

Heck yeah!!!

"Ferris Buehler you're my hero"

Super cool concept, can't wait to see it unfold.

guitarbuilder · March 16th, 2012, 02:56 PM

Here is the panel after drying under a few guitar blanks. Actually it came out pretty good. This is 2 layers about 1/8" thick. Tomorrow I'll peel it off the cardboard and see what's what.

Ryden · March 16th, 2012, 03:07 PM

Insanity is a good thing I guess....

Matt Haskins · March 16th, 2012, 03:11 PM

This build makes me smile.

czook · March 16th, 2012, 03:32 PM

Be cool if the end of each stick was stained the color of a used Popsicle.

It seems this is going to be one of the more structurally sound bodies in the contest. ;)

Ryden · March 16th, 2012, 03:36 PM

Yes, but will it sound structurally?
