Weeks or even months spent indoors away from live music can trigger (or inspire) one’s creative ideas and imagination. From a LEGO-sized recreation of the Grateful Dead‘s “Wall of Sound” to a working electric guitar made entirely out of ramen noodles, talented individuals within the music community never fail to win our hearts with their creative, even uplifting innovations these days.

One person who’s been wowing guitarists and onlookers with his one-of-a-kind custom builds of working guitars is a gentleman who goes by the name Burls Art. The musical engineer, YouTuber and luthier of sorts builds acoustic and electric guitars out of non-traditional objects including carbon fiber cloth, colored pencils, salt (duh), paper, old shovels, aged redwood, and even those childhood-favorite Jawbreaker candies.
