In today's video, I get to grips with building my very first handmade guitar body from scratch.

I wanted to practice routing guitar neck pockets, so I thought we'd have fun making a 2x4 guitar with a piece of reclaimed scrap wood I found from a building site.
I have a very cool gold Telecaster bridge with roller saddles that I'll be using in the build.
I will be installing a diMarzio DP189 Tone Zone hotrail pickup straight to the output jack, hoping to get some pure tonewood sounds.

Once I build the 2x4 Robster Plankcaster guitar I will give it a good test run.
For the demo I will be using a Behringer UD300 Distortion pedal, through garageband using vox amp simulator. I will also a use bit of delay for the lead guitar tone.
All the electric guitars you will hear in the demo will be this very 2x4 Guitar I built.

I really hope you enjoy this cool fun build, let me know what you think to the guitar build in the comments.
