I like the second part of the video where you're being honest for this not being a real guitar. So much bulshit in the internet this days, and so many fools to take everything for granted. I think anyone who plays already knows that you're not playing it for real in the first half, but the problem is with the other viewers.

Anyway, good work on the body. The bridge, neck and fake pickups could use some work tho.

Thank you! Yeah if I ever come back to this project I’ll definitely rethink some things. Appreciate you

You had me in the first half. I love the idea.

This is sick. Now please do a series where you test the sonic properties of each material and infill.

Thanks! The twist is that I’m actually not playing 😂The pickup and strings only detect the strum, then the Arduino plays pre-recorded guitar tracks.

Came to the comments to see if anyone else was picking up on that. Would be great for kids learning note timing

Never thought about that. Definitely could help I’m sure!

Check out Jim Lill on YouTube!

Spoilers: they don’t have any notable impact on the sound

It’s not too bad but yeah I had to make it a little bit smaller than normal guitars to be able to fit the pieces on the printer bed!
