Making One Fender From One other

There’s an inclination amongst cherished manufacturers to licence their title and brand onto all kinds of novelty objects as a way to make a fast buck. Joining this development is the guitar maker Fender, who’ve lent their title to a chopping board within the form of their well-known Telecaster. The existence of such a product appears to have been a direct problem to [Not A Luthier], who promptly bought one and turned it into a real guitar. It’s a real Fender, however is it a real Fender guitar? Not actually, however it’s an entertaining construct.

The chopping board isn’t manufactured from nice materials, as an alternative it’s a set of strips of wooden, we’re guessing in all probability bamboo or rubberwood, glued collectively. It’s sturdy, however noticeably thinner than the guitar whose form it takes, and with a not-great end. The construct will not be too completely different from every other electrical guitar construct we’ve seen, with the principle problem being that the bridge and pickups want spacers beneath them to compensate for the lowered thickness of the wooden.

The video is under the break and makes for a soothing watch as an in-depth guitar construct, full with a second of drilling throughout the board and fabricating a plug to cover the proof. The last guitar appears to sound alright, however we’re not guitarists so perhaps a extra practiced ear ought to decide. The real Fender brand remains to be proudly on it so it’s a Fender of kinds, however identical to with the chopping board, it’s greatest worth is in novelty.

Meanwhile if guitar builds are a factor, we’ve had a few in the past.
