Schroeder G.I. Guitar

Jason Z. Schroeder has completed the WWII “GI Guitar” and accompanying mini movie showcasing the historical context and motivation for this guitar.

The “GI Guitar” was built to be a believable remnant from the WWII era.

 

The GI Guitar uses militaria in unexpected ways.  Examples include, among other things:

  • A canvas covered top taken from a WWII tent
  • A riveted aluminum pickguard that resembles WWII airplane construction
  • Vintage military radio knobs
  • An actual Winchester rifle bolt used as a 3 way switch tip
  • A neck made from a figured walnut gunstock blank
  • Custom aluminum backplates that emulate diamond checkered gun parts
  • A stenciled wooden case that resembles a WWII ammo crate
