On the spectrum of weird gear, this Fender guitar made completely out of cardboard is definitely pushing things (sort of like Longmont Potion Castle’s stratocaster filled with frozen blueberries). A collaboration between Signal Snowboards and a manufacturing consulting and building company Ernest Packaging, this thing is literally made out of multiple layers of corrugated cardboard.
The cardbocaster is comprised of component parts of a strat – strings, frets, pickups, and pick guard – but its entire body is made out of finely hewn and constructed cardboard. It sounds surprisingly cool, basically like a real strat, as demonstrated in the video below. Check it out:

If this doesn’t end the tonewood debate, I can’t imagine what will.

Thank you! I only wish they would have pulled a regular strat off the wall and A/B’d them.
