https://www.instructables.com/id/Transparent-Wood/ I don't think this is a good idea for instrument makers. Epoxy is not tone, and looking at nice tonewoods is fun! |

Hey, maybe I can build a bowl back guitar with that and keep fish in it! |

Unless you play on your back, the fish and water would spill out of the soundhole. |

I stand corrected! And this is how the fishbowl guitar was born. |

. . . I figure the fishbowl guitar would be great for playing scales. If I take it to a gig, I'm afraid I would tank or flounder. You would have to use herringbone for the purfling. And yes, the braces would be applied using fish glue. I love how these ideas bubble up to the surface. |

Oh cod here we go with the fish puns; I'll take the bait. I wonder if you could tuna guitar like that. It might be better to make it a bass. |

And all the songs played on the fishbowl guitar must be in the key of sea. |

Crap (Crappie?)!!!! Somebody beat us to it! Attachment: 26d1d46b7c07c99da000268444befff5[1].jpg I think you would have to play a lot of choral music on the fishbowl guitar. I'm hooked. |

Stop being Koi, you know you would use shell-ak. Naturally you would dissolve the flukes yourself. |

Maybe Vince Gill would play a fishbowl guitar. |

Someone on the Warmoth forum (where I found the story) suggested it would be great for fingerboards so you could tell the exact moment you broke the truss rod when overtightening. |
