Fully Printed Electric Guitar

The body and neck of this electric guitar were 3d printed on a Flash Forge. The neck is assembled with two **carbon fiber tubes** set in epoxy in place of a traditional truss rod. The neck was further strengthened by **infiltrating the infill areas of the print with epoxy resin**. The neck-through body design allows the maker to print the body of their choice without changing the configuration of the core.

The first one printed plays, although not well, so this should be considered **a work in progress** and maker beware. I designed this as a "could it be done" exercise more than anything. It has several interesting features:


A 3d printed neck with carbon fiber reinforcement.


Epoxy infiltration as a strengthening technique.


A 3d printed fingerboard with printed slots for fretwire. I wrote an openSCAD script to generate fretboards of any scale length.


3d printed inlay on the headstock and fingerboard. These could be done as dual extrusions, b
