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
