A video, unless I missed it, appears to be a basic requirement when you post such a thing. no?

Wow that's really something. I can't wait to order my bright orange 3D Conde :)

well i read it and the sentence that stuck in my mind was right near the end when it said .....'''The one-off model used about $3,000 worth of plastic''' I think the luthiers are pretty safe



Turron -> RE: 3D-printed acoustic guitar (Sep. 20 2013 20:08:32)

Nice point. Nobody seems to have thought of the amount of fracking it'll take to supply all the plastic. Chop down trees or rape the Earth's crust for its hydrocarbons? Tough call. Me, I'll just hang on to my old cellulose/lignin -based Conde for now.

ahhh, but that is just the prototype.
Try it out, fix some problems, have them mass produced in China and there you go, $100 to produce, and you can sell them for $500.
Then have them voiced by Tom B., costs you $1000, and you can now sell for $5,500, if you mention it on the label, somehow.
Change the head stock by adding horns and...Oh no, wait, that would devalue it.
