I made a guitar out of LEGOs and epoxy resin, aka – the Legocaster!! I’m so excited to share this Lego epoxy guitar build. I had no idea how the Legos would hold together with the epoxy resin, but in the end, I think the guitar came out pretty sharp looking.
The most challenging part of this guitar build was creating a solid guitar blank from the Legos and epoxy. I put the Lego pattern on a backplate, and put the Legos face down into a partially cured layer of epoxy, then poured more epoxy to halfway cover the Legos. After this epoxy cured, I could remove the backplate that was holding t
...he Legos together, pour more epoxy resin over them to fill in the backs of the Legos. While the epoxy was still fluid, I added a second layer of Legos, and finally came back to fill in the entire form with resin. After I had the epoxy Lego guitar blank, I could just use standard woodworking processes for guitar building, to shape the guitar from the epoxy Lego blank.
I also added some custom Lego touches with a truss rod cover made from Lego base plate, and replacing the knobs on the guitar tuners with Legos.
