I am at it again. Trying to build a transparent hollowbody. You may remember a few years back I failed big-time to make a hollowbody out of plexi-glass (I'll add a few pics later). This time I think I have it figured out.
This guitar will be donated to the Richardson WildFlower Festival art guitar auction. It's my third year to do so. Last year I built the Mavs guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--L5ZmpXA_g.
This year I am building a Shelby Cobra inspired transparent hollowbody with all the trimming. Chrome, Lights, side vents (ad f holes), a cool stripe and more...
The idea is to use Koch's hollowbody instructions. He uses a solid block to build an arched center strip. This will be topped with a clear piece of plexi that will be screwed to the mahogany stripes and trimming with chrome. I am not sure how it will turn out, but I'm having fun building.

Do you think Gorilla glue will sponsor me?
Yes, that center stripe looks like a fish!
