Not very practical in the long haul, I expect, but cool experiment.

You may now begin the salt-related puns!

It probably sounds killer on "Salty Dog"!

Great for playing Salt Licks.

Would have been the perfect axe to play a gig with Art Pepper.

Cool with a little tequila and lime.
In rapid session try the following:
1st lick guitar
2nd drink tequila
3rd suck on lime
4th repeat...

Nice guitar. Now we know the tonal sound of salt. Sounds just like I thought it would. I like the guy's playing of the salt guitar, too.

I have one of those Himalayan salt block lamps and it leaves salt stains on whatever surface you put it on because eventually the salt melts off. I bet this will happen to his guitar soon. It would be cool if he could find some way to conserve the salt body, maybe put some hard laquer over it, but I doubt that would work for salt.

Cool project anyways. When the salt melts, just take the hardware off, grind up the salt guitar and you have salt to last you for a year...It must be interesting knowing that you are eating your old guitar sprinkled on your food.

Looks like it would be quick to corrode the strings and hardware.
