Video: Pallet Wood Guitar
In this video, Paul Jackman teams up with Tim Sway to build a pallet wood guitar.
The body is made from a lamination of some amazing looking pallet wood including cherry, oak, maple, mahogany, pine, alder, poplar, and probably a few other species. The blank for the body was something that Paul Jackman made in his shop and then brought to Tim Sway, where he showed Paul how to make it into a guitar. The body was shaped with a CNC and branded with a laser engraver and then the organic shapes were carved by hand. The neck of the guitar is one that was reclaimed from another guitar.

Paul Jackman: Let's go visit Tim Sway.
Tim Sway: You can't make a guitar out of trash.
Paul: Hey, guys, thanks for watching this build. I'm not going to try to play this guitar because you're listening to Tim Sway play it right now and that's the only reason why. I'd totally play this guitar otherwise because I totally can, obviously. Why would I build a guitar? Anyway, this is a collaboration project that I did together with my friend, Tim Sway. Go check him out if you haven't yet. He's on YouTube and all that other stuff. He does a lot of reclaimed projects and a few reclaimed guitars here and thereHey, guys, thanks for watching this build.
