“I saw a lot of people online making bowls out of colored pencils and I wanted to take it up a notch and make something that I can actually utilize and enjoy more so than a bowl,” said Burls Art. “So I decided on making a (Fender) Stratocaster-style electric guitar.” Despite having never made a guitar before, the ambitious craftsman set about sculpting the incredible handmade instrument, step-by-step.
