Thanks for including my video, yes that's me. I get so jazzed thinking about building more guitars, but just never have the time. I love that you experimented with building an acoustic. I want to try that as well or even a semi-hollow.<br><br>I've built a few other guitar bodies, check out the images on: <a href="https://www.redeyeondemand.com/CustomApplication.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.redeyeondemand.com/CustomApplicatio...</a><br><br>The Tele models were made in Polycarbonate and I did some tweaking to the slice file to get a hollow fill in the regions where I wasn't mounting any hardware. This also helped bring the weight down. The Tele's actually sound really good and stay in tune. The other customs ones I made, the SSYS one and the mobius one in the video don't sound the greatest and for some reason didn't stay in tune as well. <br><br>I guess I need to go back to the drawing board. If you have any cool designs for a solid body or semi-hollow I would love to see them. Maybe I'll squeeze in a build for you as well if I can do the same for myself.Tim ThellinFri, 14 Nov 2008 10:31:12 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/you-rawk-3d-rapid-prototyped-acoustic-instruments-of-the-future/2008-10-31/#comment-3422516Cool concept on the guitar!!! The 1st concept image appears to be cubist in nature, the second one looks like a flattened feather duster, the third seems to represent swiss cheese (maybe it was close to lunch). The final one is the design I find most appealing visually.Rod_UdingFri, 31 Oct 2008 15:59:59 -0000
