Has anyone grafted a guitar body to change the shape?

I made a double neck once by gluing two of my bodies together. It requires a jointer so you can get a clean and straight glue joint. It wasn't painted either.

 

There are a number of "crimes against guitar" sites that show hideous & unspeakable acts against guitars that were probably minding their own business. . .

Most recent one I saw was originally an SG, w/ the traditional headstock separation, neatly grafted to body, below the traditional tailpiece.
I "watched" it for a while, noticing a series of price reductions, but could never imagine pulling that from case to play anywhere.
Fortunately, different players have different preferences, so I hope it found a new, welcoming home.

Isn't that how neck-through guitars are made? The central block and neck are one piece, but then "wings" are glued to the side. Seems like that would be a good way to make a guitar you like out of one that looks otherwise hideous, AND/OR save you some touchy neck pocket and pickup routing.

 

Here it is:

 

At one time there was a online tutorial for making a expanded foam cradle for the Hofner Shorty that filled out the body to full size, alas it looked a lot like you were putting the guitar in a toilet seat..

 

No, but I do have a peach apple pear tree

 

Stratoiletcaster?

 

Most guitar bodies are just chunks of wood glued together at the factory. So why not slice 'em dice 'em and slap 'em back together.

 

Heinz Frohling approves of this.

 

Sorta like this kind of idea??

Les Paul’s “Log” prototype — with “wings” made from a donor hollowbody guitar which he sliced in two...
Some practical rather than sophisticated woodworking going on there!!

 

Interesting topic. I have an old harmony H-802 body, and just dislike the shape, it's not quite right:


So I'm thinking of paring it down a bit to a more pleasing or interesting shape and doing something with it.
