YouTube Description:
Cardboard Chaos is here and it’s time to riff on a new idea! Rock out with your cardboard stock out! This episode we work with a master builder at the Fender Custom Shop to see if paper has the ability to handle the look, feel and sound of one of the world’s most recognizable guitars, the Fender Stratocaster. A master builder can make just about anything look good, but will it sound good? Will it have tone and will it be able to handle the heat and get approval from one who rocks for a living in one of the most ass kicking bands of the last two decades, Linkin Park?! It’s a tall order and with roughly 250lbs of torque put on the neck of a guitar from the strings – We have ourselves a challenge and some Cardboard Chaos! Check out the cardboard skateboard and surfboard here:

blackorebIt is weird that they just skipped over the part where they soaked the whole thing in epoxy to give it the strength it needed to work.
It is also weird to here packaging folk referring to that material as "cardboard" rather than "corrugated" or "corrugated fiberboard". In industry circles, "cardboard" is solid, not a multi-layered material with corrugations.
LooiXIVsays...still made out of wood...right?
MilkmanDansays...Are all the void spaces in the cardboard corrugations filled with epoxy? That definitely wouldn't surprise me, but it is a bit disappointing if they call it a "cardboard guitar" when by weight OR volume it is mostly epoxy... Still pretty cool though.
I'd imagine that it doesn't have much in the way of sustain, even if it is solid epoxy around the cardboard.
