From concept to reality…
Presenting the Carbon Fiber-Bamboo Guitar prototype.
I still have to write more documentation. I am terribly lagging behind, but I’ll definitely have more time in April. Anyway, for now, here are some high resolution pictures. You should compare these against the original 3D images. I am immensely having fun playing the final prototype. Now I am focusing on production.
If you got here from nowhere, you’ll be missing out if you don’t check out the project in full. Nevertheless, pretty images are always nice to see.

Gorgeous! How’s it sound? Can you post some MP3s?
Hey, so nice to see you here! Haven’t had much time to work on this project, but I’ll see what I can do. It wouldn’t do it justice if I make a quick mp3. Anyway, I have my studio up and running again.
Thanks, Dave!
