I Built A Minecraft Guitar for Jack Black! Now how do I give it to him?

Jack Black is one of the few multi-generational ICONS! In honor of all of the laughs he's given me throughout the years, I decided build this guitar as a labor of love for one of my all time favorite comedic actors. It's a pixelated, Minecraft themed body, hand cut and painted with a 30,000V Built in taser! So if you or anyone you know can help me make hand this to Jables as a gift in person, that would be a dream come true! Hell I don't even play guitar, if he digs it, it belongs on his wall!
Watch the Full Build Video HERE (with a special Tenacious D tribute Finale!)
I started as I do with many projects by buying some cheap supplies from Facebook Marketplace. I then purchased and Adler guitar blank online, traced the guitar body over top and got to work!
Before this project, I'd never used a router before and holy shit balls is that thing fun to use (and a little terrifying). I have very limited wood working experience, and there's like this evolution of going from only being able to cut straight lines with my circular saw to getting a jig saw and router allowing for bodacious curved cuts and grooves that just feel incredible.
My first problem in this build however was having to use a jig saw to cut the pixelated outline. The blade was slightly bent and I'd recommend using a band saw if you have it. Next, I had a bit of difficulty getting the end grain to be smooth primarily on the tiny little pixel edges that I had to work out with a chisel.
Now the taser was absolutely necessary. I stand by that. How will JB defend himself if some lunatic rushes him on stage? Well now he can hit them with 30,00 V straight to the cock! Nothings getting past that!
I hope you enjoyed the video, and a HUGE thanks to my buddy Adam Fedderbusch for stringing the guitar for me, then learning The Metal by Tenacious D to be my body double in the finale of the video. That man's got magic fingers.
