After putting together a cardboard core, the Fender shop hand-cut the shape of the body and neck and added the necessary electronics and frets. The biggest structural obstacle was the neck which needs to withstand roughly 250lbs of torque after the strings have been added. Once complete, Fender employees tried it out and were impressed by the paper-based instrument. It was then delivered to Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson for a nu metal test that sounded pretty great.

Of course, once your palms get sweaty, it's probably best not to keep playing the guitar made out of paper.
