Burls Art is a YouTuber who enjoys making guitars out of all different kinds of material. By date, he has made guitars out of colored pencils and Styrofoam, but his latest project was definitely the most intriguing one.

For his latest video, Burls decided to see whether jawbreaker candies could be used to build a fully-functioning custom guitar. He took eight jawbreakers and combined them with epoxy in order to make a body for a Flying V-shaped guitar and then added all other necessary parts to make it play.

“I saw a lot of people online making bowls out of colored pencils and I thought that was really cool but I wanted to make something that I can actually utilize and enjoy more so than a bowl when it’s finished,” he shares. “Since I play guitar, I thought this would be a cool project that would accomplish that goal. I decided on making a (Fender) Stratocaster styled electric guitar… This was the first guitar I’ve ever built”

“It was surprisingly not as difficult as I would have imagined,” this creative guy continued. “The only real struggles didn’t come as much with the actual guitar building as much as it did with the colored pencil material. By that I mean, the color of the colored pencil would smear when sanded with high grit sandpaper and it looked awful. So I had to figure out a way to achieve good wood/lead color without smear (which I detail in the video at the end of this post).”
