Burl of Burl’s Art built the body of a Fender Stratocaster style guitar, out of 1200 colored pencils. He first glued the pencils together, cut the guitar frame from those glued pencils with a wood stencil, refined it, sanded it, covered it in a protective coating, slid in the electronics, strung the strings and then played his creation beautifully at the end.

I saw a lot of people online making bowls out of colored pencils and I wanted to take it up a notch and make something that I can actually utilize and enjoy more so than a bowl… So I decided on making a (Fender) Stratocaster styled electric guitar… This was my first guitar I’ve ever built but I am more than satisfied with how it turned out!
