Stone guitar

This is a guitar made entirely of stone. Eight strings, fanned fret design. 28"-30" scale. No sustain-effects, no compression, only a little distorsion.
Fretboard: Ebenholtz vith jumbofrets
Trussrod: Yes. Helps putting a pressure load on the neck. Stone doesn't like to be pulled.
The neck has a 5160 steel reinforcement.
The upperhorn also has a steel reinforcement so the shoulderstrap is bolted to the steelbar and not directly to the stone. The guitar is less brittle than it seems.

Does this have a truss rod? If so, does it do anything at all? LOL

[komorok]

Yes it does. It puts pressure on the backside of the neck. (Stone doesnt like tension). That is why I put the trussrod there. But it doesnt do any adjusting at all.

that's incredible, man. is the entire thing made of stone or are there still wood components?

[komorok]

The fretboard is made of wood :-( . But the next pair will have fretboards made of stone.

[Wild1990Child]

sadface indeed. though how much stone can you get away with on a guitar? I would wager that a stone bridge, frets and nut could be potentially problematic. Oh, and i'm guessing the neck is neck thru, then?

[komorok]

A stone bridge is do-able. Frets too, but they will not last as long as regular frets. Nut is easy to make. The neck is "neck-thru". Visit my photobucket site. I am komorok there as well.

Now that's a hard rock guitar!

No but it'll crack/break if there's too much tension to one side.

[Henry Henkle]

I notice your sitting down to play it.

So is it heavy?

[FCValle]

i was expecting a fat sound...but thats actually obese

[DeBuraInc01]

just shows that no matter what the guitar is made of, any tone is achievable by all guitars....so long as u get the right amp and or pedals....mahagony, basswood, ash,etc...its all just personal preference... just like that lucky charm u keep to give you that feel good feeling...
