Air guitar is exhausting. Nickel wound guitar strings are welded with 1095 powdered steel to make a pair of blades. And maybe I get all juiced and melt faces with some shredded riffs. Maybe.

Rhythm Guitar: Steve
Bass Guitar: Steve Clone 1
Lead Guitar: This one is Steve, rhythm guitar is actually Steve Clone 2. No, wait, bass is Steve Clone 2 and rhythm is Clone 1? Oh no, am I a clone or am I Steve? Who am I? What am I? What have I done! OH, LORD, NOOOOOOoooooo!!

The press is new. I hope to spare my joints a bit and do more damascus in the future! Thanks for watching. If anyone wants to join my air band just leave your qualifications in the comment section.

Francesco Muci says:

No way! It was 13 years ago when I said "I have this bucket of used strings, I want to make damascus out of it!" And as for my idea of a bariton electric guitar (yes, I am a luthier also), everybody laughed at me. Thank you for proving everybody (else) wrong! Oh, now the bariton electric guitar is being produced also, btw…

Amazing build.

MegaHellstrike says:

Remember to tune the knife if it doesn't sound sharp anymore.

Ironcladkilljoy says:

I remember suggesting this a long time ago so your welcome everyone lol

Austin Randolph says:

Rather than using new strings, you could try going to a local musicians shop and to see if they'll give you their old strings. They would be corroded, but nothing a little acid/rust remover wouldn't fix. I would say that you could even use old piano strings, but I think those are probably brass/bronze wound like acoustic guitar strings.

I resonate highly with your ideas sir (Y)

The "dreaded rhombus"

Lord Baccus says:

Why did you not use Bass Guitar Strings for a more Pronounced pattern? =/
