Welcome episode 1 of my Great Guitar Build Off 2023 build! This video includes the making of the body. The Invitationals this year require that the guitars are to be built with no less than 50% recycled materials.

The body is made of reclaimed Cedar from a barn door that is approximately 160 years old.
