That's a cool concept, but he fucked up a few fundamental things: 1. He put the bridge on the split wood rather than solid wood, which will totally deaden the vibration at the bridge. You can do almost anything *except* deaden vibration at either end of the string.

4. Because he put the fretboard and frets on first thing, then shapes them by hand at the end, you can see where he has to flatten the fuck out of the frets and try to pound them back in. I suspect he got the fretboard radius wrong for the frets so had to invent one in the frets
5. He didn't have any idea how to house the electronics, which is a huge part of an *electric* guitar. If he'd done a solid center block down to the base of the bridge he could have had cavity for the pots and pickup and made them all more hidden, plus improve vibration.
