Chessmaster II

A documentary of the making of a replica guitar owned by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants.

When I talked to Flansburgh about the guitar in July, he told me that the guitar had fallen into disrepair and needed work done on the jack. I inspired him to repair it, and he recently used it in the Cloisonné video!

Some may note that the VU meter is not present on my replica. I have yet to find an exact match. The original guitar's meter is real, but is not currently hooked up to work, though someday that might change... [Update: I have found and added the same VU meter which is found in the original guitar. See https://vimeo.com/58275740 ]
