From garage project to guitar hero
Images: Ian Vanveen
🛠️ Meet Ian Vanveen, a 20-year-old college student from Wisconsin who spent 200+ hours building a custom electric guitar in his parents’ garage.
- He started out with leftover deck wood and a “really bad” first attempt.
- Eventually, Ian's efforts evolved into a sleek, hand-built guitar designed to be extra thin, extra loud, and fully customizable.
Vanveen taught himself the basics of woodworking, electronics, and sound engineering along the way.
