Cement?

I don't know if this is where this belongs, but it's certainly unique.
Cement Guitar bodies

And you thought your instrument was heavy!

You have to wonder how he got this idea.

That's funny, that was exactly what I was thinking.

Could just be a coincidence, but I know of a lot of people in the Detroit area who make a living pouring concrete...

If I were you I'd try to see if they could do up a chambered body somehow, I know it goes without saying, but that **** is HEAVY.

I remember back in the 70s reading in an old issue of Guitar Player magazine about a guy who made a guitar with a granite body. He said that is was almost unplayable due to the weight but that notes sustained forever! Probably would have needed a special stand like the one Alex Lifeson uses for his acoustic guitars.

Somehow, I don't think just plain old concrete would have much in the way of sustain...
