Has anyone ever made or seen a guitar made from fat lighter?

This is the best picture I could find, but doesn't do it justice
If I were to have a custom guitar made, this would be my first choice due to aesthetics.
Although very heavy, It's such a beautiful form of pine. Those amber and yellow streaks just look killer.
I understand it is a difficult wood to shape/work due to its hardness.
Would the extreme density be an issue on an electric guitar? Would it hamper resonance?
