\\\\\ PROJECT SPECIFIC STUFF \\\\\
► Tim Sway http://bit.ly/2VMhFgb

A pallet wood guitar isn't super revolutionary, but this one is special because it's mine. The body is made from a lamination of some amazing looking pallet wood including cherry, oak, maple, mahogany, pine, alder, poplar, and probably a few other species. The blank for the body was something that I made in my shop and then brought it to my buddy Tim where he showed me how to turn it into a guitar and I helped a little bit. The body was shaped with a CNC and branded with a laser engraver and then the organic shapes were carved by hand. The neck of the guitar is one that we reclaimed from another guitar, did we take the easy way out? Yes, but I never do that so I figure this is my chance for once! Also, Tim said that he always recommends with anyone's first guitar build they should just buy a premade neck and then if you make another one (and you will), then try building the entire thing from scratch that time.
