Would certainly like to hear it with that pickup through a proper clean amp. Nice craftsmanship and a well-put-together video.

@PestVic Yeah, me too.

@brianmay65 lol
Making a solid-body electric instrument usually requires two things:
Lots and LOTS of sanding. Did I forget to mention more sanding?
Gratuitous amounts for applying grain fillers (then more sanding), and then sanding sealers (more sanding), a few more coats of sealer.
Then you've got your base coat, your gloss, and whatever urethane that you use.
Also: Time for spraying and drying (As shown in video) is loooong...

oh my! Bad boy. Surely many classic violinists will be mad at you because of ruining that lovely acoustic violin,. !! and i'm one of the MAD concertees. X(

jesus you like to sand . . the guitar violin is beautiful well done
You held my interest until you explained about the amplifier. You did a fine job crafting the violin. Then you made a back yard amplifier by destroying what might have been a perfectly usable acoustic violin. Seems to me, if you devoted all that time into making a quality instrument, shouldn't you have used a quality amplifier to boast the tone of the violin. Sorry, but that violin sounds like crap. Beautiful Violin though! I'd like to hear it some day, for real. Keep on crafting

I thought this warranted a response. The event required that artists use the donated student violins somehow in our pieces. Don't worry, a fine instrument was certainly not destroyed. I built the amp really just for show. The violin sounded great through my guitar amp.
