So how do combine one of Eddie Van Halen's guitars with a Landshark Surfboard?

Needs a shark bite out of the body.

If our Landshark representative digs it and gets us some shows from it, I will drill press out a shark bite in the upper treble horn by the word "Landshark"...

... but if the Leinenkugel guys are as serious as they sounded when I met with them this week, it will be rebranded. Seriously.

Joor ballz, I busts thems.

You do great work.


Even when it turns out ugly.

You really are quite insane, you know.
But I like it!

Couldn't put it better.

Nice job.

I almost forgot to show you the back, when I flip it up while playing.....

EDIT: Oooh... looking at the photo above, I need to make a black shark fin shape for the electronics control cover!

Rawk!!!

Cool. It'll be a fun stage guitar.

BTW, where did you get the body?

Warmoth custom order.

And one big bonus between the thin shape and the swamp ash, it's SUPER LIGHT. I'm going to guess and say that once pickups are in it it, maybe 6 1/2 pounds.

I am laughing here. I decided a few weeks ago that my next guitar is going to most likely be a Warmoth build. I have been going back and forth on using a Musiclander body or the Star body.

If you're not doing a pickguard, get the 720 mod. They make the neck pocket a little deeper and angled so the fingerboard overhang is closer to the face of the guitar and the strings aren't an inch away from the face.

Interesting.

F.Y.I. - this type of concept has been done before - with the skatetar (skateboard-guitar). The Surf Punks originated them, and there have been several variations on the theme over the years:

Yeah, I didn't want to try and wear a surfboard.... which different doodles in a notebook led me down the "Fin" guitar path.

After seeing the back, I think I'd like it more as a reverse star.

Corporate shill.
In a good way.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

I like it better than the original.

I could have sworn that was a photo of a man being attacked by the malevolently-animated root system of some tree.
