Building an Electric Guitar From REAL AXES!

  • I built a real working electric guitar from axes! Presenting The AXE AXE Guitar! Guitars are frequently called Axes, so I thought that it should be an actual axe as well.
    Two old Kelly axes were joined together to make a custom double bit axe. Double bit axes are very hard to find over here in Australia. The handle and neck was made from a single piece of solid Spotted Gum hardwood. With Huon Pine accents and wedge. Two humbucker pickups, 3 way pickup selector switch and a single volume & tone knob.
    Just to note, I am no awesome guitar player, maybe one day I can play better! Still looking for someone to shred it up on the Axe Axe Guitar!
    Enjoy the build! Please like & subscribe!

    So instead of smashing the guitar after a performance, you can smash up the stage. Got it.

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    I admit that was\is a work of art.. As a metal worker, auto body, welder, fitter, really impressed with book matching and simplicity instead of a overwhelming cheap dollar store tool... Loved the natural "handle" body, gold hardware pops but clean not flashy... As a guitarist the Chiquita travel "Back to The Future" style is cool as Hell! I would have to adjust my position but I love it

    Having built several guitars (including a battle axe, I call the "Excriminator") the most gratifying moment for me was strumming the 1st notes after it is strung up. It almost brings a tear to your eye after all of the work. Good job.

    The only thing I would suggest is the addition of a truss rod. I’m not sure how hard this wood is though, it may not even be necessary.
    Do you still have it? Has the neck of it stayed true over the years?
