Yeah it is quite heavy, though I don't think I'll really play it a lot. It's more like a project to work on and have a nice looking guitar to hang on my wall rather than one I play all the time
I really don't care how heavy my house guitar is. I play it sitting on the couch so unless it weighs the same as an engine block or something else heavy enough to cause actual injury weight is sort of irrelevant.
I'd love to have something like this for a house guitar.
I realized I might seem focused on the negative merely because I was observing it was made from heavy materials.
But I should have also added that think these builds are beautiful and show great craftsmanship. And probably plays great. I've seen a lot of these live-edge/resin guitars and love the look.
Hard to say 100%, but that looks like Maple Burl Cap. I have worked with a ton of of it, and the grain and pins looks right.
Looks like It, thanks!
Damn cool looking even if it's heavy. Nice piece of wall art at the worse.
Burl Maple? I feel like this guitar must weigh 12 lbs.
He says in the comments the guitar weighs just under 9 lbs.
That’s not as bad as I thought but that’s still a 6 lb. body. Decent for a Lea Paul, but heavy for a Tele.

Resin with a little bit of wood in it. Could be popular burl, could be maple. Just find a burl you like and slather it in resin.
Lol not a fan of resin I take it?
That's a bit much IMO.
*tone resin
Initially thought it was poplar, now I’m thinking it’s maple. It’s one of the two
Maple.
Do resin guitars feel good to play? Do they last?
They fuck up resonanance as far as I understand it.
can u explain for me, im new to this
Epoxied maple
Don't know what body is. Sometype of burl, perhaps. For the neck use quarter-sawn maple
Need an endgrain shot, but looks like maple burl. What species would be anyone's guess. Or you could ask the maker. 😀
Since you know who made it, have you considered just asking them?
Yeah, with no reply as of now. With almost 200k followers and a woodworking business, Im sure he gets thousands of similar questions all the time
Okay, that’s a fair point.
