From the positioning of the flail on the body of the guitar, I think you'd need a lot more kevlar, which could really ruin the acoustics. How much are you willing to compromise on musical quality for ass kicking durability?

Well I was thinking 2mm as a spacer, para-aramids aren't really good for protection AGAINST fire, that's meta-aramids. The kevlar would basically be a fireproof insulator from the wood, allowing the wood to breathe as it absorbs a bit of the heat (also insulating the heat) from the aluminum tape which is also reflecting and conducting the heat and dispersing it quickly. Really this is just something I thought NPF would enjoy, I'm thinking of modding a guitar with just spokes with fire coming out, seems way more practical.

Oh absolutely. It's great.

God dammit Lev.

You would have balancing issues with it in general.

Do this, make it happen, or I will hunt you down and force you to do it.

What... is the flail supposed to be for? It seems it would be hard to rock out without smashing the guitar (or yourself) to pieces, protection from fire or no.

Surely the correct approach is two guitar attached by chain, both on fire. Find way to play both at once.

Everybody knows that the proper use of a guitar as a weapon is as an axe.
