Electric Guitar
James concludes his quest with an electric guitar. 147 pieces must be reassembled, entailing soldering, the use of precision screwdrivers and fiddly electronics.
James concludes his quest to truly understand everyday objects by putting them back together piece by piece with an electric guitar.
147 pieces must be reassembled carefully and in the correct order, which will entail soldering, extensive use of James's precision Japanese screwdrivers and some fiddly electronics.
The electric guitar transformed the music industry and society itself and, channelling his namesake Brian, James will plug in his reassembled guitar and hope he put all the bits together correctly as he gets ready to perform one of most unexpected guitar solos of all time.
