Play it loud.
Intensive research, planning, material exploration, ergonomic study, drafting and many hours of trial and error, yielded a fully functioning electric guitar. A self directed projected at 16 years of age that sparked my passion for industrial design.
Inspired by my love of music and character of the wood, I explored different shapes for body that would flow smoothly to the neck and designed the head to compliment the rest of the guitar.
I created jigs out of acrylic and plywood which would allow me to route out all of the holes for the pickups and plates, as well as perfect the shape before cutting into the final material.
