Guitar makers like Nicola Pavan of Pavan Wood Works take pride in the instruments they build. Wood is a personal medium, it's a living thing that changes according to its environment. So if there is any material that's exactly the opposite of wood, it's plastic.

Working with Lego, Pavan, who is currently studying in to become a Luthier in Milan, was able to create a working electric guitar. Although the plastic creation may not sound as good as its wood counterparts, it's definitely still capable of rocking out.

Pavan told Mashable that the hardest part of building the guitar was acquiring all of the Lego, relying on his friends to supply all of the right pieces.

It took Pavan about six days to complete the guitar, and he only used a bit of glue and some screws to hold the whole thing together. The guitar's neck and bridge are made from normal guitar materials.

And this isn't the first guitar Pavan built out of Lego; his first prototype in 2012 was just as impressive, and features a more intricate bridge.
