Welcome to episode 6 of this ONE-day Build...yes...really!
Ben continues to make this Star Wars-inspired guitar fit in with that universe. The headstock is taking shape to match the end of the Mandalorian Rifle and the custom backplate looks like it could be a panel from Slave 1. Ben also makes a custom nut out of solid aluminium.
