Forgot to post it here but here's a quick little video demo of the one and only, I'll try and have a fuller demo up eventually but it might be a toasty minute

What's poppin, kiddos?!
I am so unimaginably excited to officially announce the completion of the project I've been planning since I was like 17, the guitar made out of smoked cigarette butts set in epoxy resin. A little background, I was and still am so tired of people sending the same videos of guitars made out of stupid s**t set in resin and I was hoping this would make them stop (I made a post a while back about it). This yet unnamed masterpiece, my magnum opus as of this moment, is a 32" scale neck-through P-Bass. The neck is a three piece laminate of mahogany and birdseye maple (dyed black so the detail is subtle) with carbon fiber reinforcements. It has a 19 fret rosewood fretboard with HAM brand cigarette block inlays, the pickguard is made out of the record, "Sunflower," by Frank Chacksfield and His Orchestra. Most importantly, though, the body is made out of a ΒΌ" balsa wood core covered in four layers of ci******es from at least 15-20 people (and a lot of roaches too) which I sealed with hairspray, hot glued in place (just so they wouldn't float in the resin), and then sealed in epoxy. I did not count them as they were put in and counting them now is very hard because of the organic pattern they created, that being said, I estimate there are somewhere between 850-1000 cigarette butts in there.
I was waiting to post until I had a proper demo with good audio but I've been running into some speedbumps as far as recording a video demo goes, still, keep an eye out for something of that nature in hopefully a week or so
Do you ever have a long day so you go home and stress build an instrument?
I do.
