Somebody had to do it eventually, and I think Adam Loeb beat everyone to the punch. He has built an electric guitar and included carved ball-and-claw details. Loeb definitely gets points for originality.
Loeb built this piece while a student at RIT in 2007 and says it was only his second woodworking project.
The body is made of mahogany, a popular wood for 18th century furniture, and the neck is a combination of bubinga, wenge and bloodwood. Loeb says the instrument plays well.
Visit Loeb’s site for more details on his build and his thinking behind the project. And here’s some more info on steampunk.
