Guitar
the previous post was showing a model that I was quite confident with, but since I gathered the material and the tools, but also spent a lot of time making research and drawings... I have to admit that it's worth taking time to reach a good design (the first one seems so clumsy after a few weeks) - also there is so much to invent in this field too... that's good because I have several projects to build in the coming times.

- More Elaborated Sketches

- More Sketches
hmm, what I feared happened: though I tried to stop thinking of guitar designs, couldn't help having my brain work and my fingers sketch some more guitars, and now I reach this last model, more ergonomic, more original, more pure, more radical......
