Amazing moment a man from Glasgow made a fully functional electric guitar from scratch out of popsicle sticks.
The clip, filmed over several months shows the intricate design Isaac, from Cranmer Guitars, created after being inspired by a trend going around on YouTube.
"The project took around 7 months - or roughly 800 hours - to complete. I decided on popsicle sticks as it could be manipulated in various ways to give very different results. Each stick would be able to give me 4 pixels which could be used for the body. 29,000 pixels were needed.
"They were then dyed in a custom vacuum chamber, glued into blocks of 100 and finally the whole body could be glued together. The neck, fingerboard and headstock were also made up of popsicle sticks." Isaac explained to Newsflare.
