I would think the biggest issue with a guitar like this is neck dive. Where the balance of the guitar is neck heavy and doesn't like to rest on your body or on a strap. You can nail a bridge to a tree stump, slap some pickups and tuners on it and it'll play. But it wont be comfortable or balanced. If you could put weights in the body somewhere you could create a wonderfully balanced body/neck combo.

+ @rbae Not even for electrics. People just like simple answers even though both of them are wrong. Of course the wood can make a difference in the sound. Is it huge? Maybe not but here comes the twist. So you might have a difference between two guitars in sound depending on the wood they're built of and it logically shows in the overtone spectrum and you will notice the difference when playing the instrument not being plugged in (but who does) now you use a pickup that doesn't pick up these differences and suddenly they sound the "same" ... I will never understand why it is so hard to understand, that from you fingers, the strings, the pick, the wood, the build of the guitar, the electronics, cables, the amplification, the room ... everything has an influence on the sound that is just simple physics. Depending on the constellation some influences can be bigger, some smaller, some can be elevated, some suppressed. To a certain degree you can compensate bad playing techniques, think compressor for bad dynamics, like you can add high frequencies or lower bass and so on ... So stop the blaming/shaming game take all variables into account and try to use them to your advance to create your sound. Even the thing with the fingers depends on which sound your looking for. If your sound is an all compressed and distorted stoner wall of sound you might find that it doesn't make a big difference any more how you "touch" the strings ... Sorry, but there is no "myth of tone wood" just your need for simple answers to complex questions ... BTW: I didn't like the sound of the printed guitar - which can have a lot of reasons, just to name a few: 9 strings, choice of pickups, playing style, plastic body, choice of amp, settings of amp, the recording, my listening variables: speakers, room, me having a cold, my taste vs. the taste of the people involved ... the body being printed only being one! of the possible reasons. I need at least to hear the thomann telecaster build played by the same guy, same amp, settings to make an "informed" decision.

So basically you believe that everything! but the wood affects the tone? Let me tell you what, that is a stupid believe. In fact, logically and scientifically everything affects the sound, depending on the setup and the final sound everything can be more or less important, can be elevated or suppressed. You can end up with similar sounding recordings of two pretty different sounding acoustics, when suppressing the differences with your choice of mics, recording techniques, eq settings and so on. I used to be a recording guitar player for quite a while and was never happy with the typical sm57 on the speaker, off the middle whatever - approach. It never reflected what I was hearing, when I dialed in my sound. In a recording situation, where I am in the same room with the amp I am usually 1.5m to 3m away from my amp, with my ears being at a height of roughly 1.70m ... I never stick my head into the speaker to adjust my sound - never! So I asked for a mike that is known for its neutral sound to be setup at this distance and height et voila the sound of the recording was suddenly way closer to my sound than before. Just for fun we set up a second mike, pretty close to the first, made it a stereo recording ... That was the closest we got. And, yes I know, that my ideal guitar sound is maybe not the sound that will end up in a final mix, but all the engineers that I worked with agreed, that it is a good idea to capture what is there as close to the reality as possible first. So long story short: everything is influencing the sound, tone wood included. The differences between different woods might be subtle (and sometimes suppressed or altered by other influences e.g. tremolo systems) but because they are standing at the beginning of the sound defining process (go fingers/pick/strings/bridge/saddle and wood, then! pickups ->), if you ignore them you might miss out on some opportunities your setup is offering. Just because you don't care doesn't mean they don't exist ;- )

Three years ago, I set about printing a classic violin. Not the Hovalin or other 'no bridge' designs. How hard can it be? First one sounded like wet cardboard. I took the second one to a Lutheir, a violin maker. He made a bridge and sound-post from proper wood, fitted them expertly to the instrument. Amazing improvement, but it still sounded muted. I got busy, trying to print panels that sounded like a similar piece of wood when dropped on the floor. Despite being absurdly thick (8-10 mm!) having a single-layer top/bottom, no perimeter walls and over 60% infill, I found several useful 'sound wood' replicas. Printed up a new violin with 9.5mm thick bottom deck, 7.5mm top deck; Luthier did his magic and I had an actual Violin! The sound 'filled the room', getting the strings to sing took no bowing effort at all. After five glorious day of me learning how to play, the upper deck collapsed under the tension of the strings. 'Bang!' and it was split. Didn't have the heart to go through all that again. Yes, you can print a useful instrument, but you gotta keep the limits of the materials in mind. Constant tension from strings or a taught drum-head can ruin a 3d print, given time. Slacking the strings and drawing them tight every day isn't a good solution either, as it took forever to tune the thing!

Violin needs proper building materials that has good tonality There is actually good reason why acoustic instruments has term tone wood because some materials has different properties What comes down to electric instruments, you free to do anything with it As long you have scale lenght in mind, tuners and mics you are running with, you can make almost any material work as guitar base build in the end you are generating electromagnetic signal what you manipulate with effects and amps eq then that is blasted out from speaker If anything that is most important in that signal chain is speaker Anything i would be concerned about 3d printed guitars are can they handle string tension There are already amazing 3d made guitars or carbon fiber guitars in the market so this isnt anything new Just that community is slowly aproving these things in time

I mean it’s doable, but it’s been possible to injection mold a guitar from plastic for decades- there’s a reason they didn’t replace more traditional materials & production techniques… Because it’s far lower quality. Woods & construction do contribute to the overall tone of the instrument, & a lot of a professional guitar designer/luthier’s time & thought is going into optimizing/perfecting timbre & tuning stability & sustain & other extremely delicate (in some cases very subtle, in some cases very in your face) qualities that separate a $20 Sears catalog guitar from an artisanally hand-crafted masterpiece of an instrument. I mean, even with overwhelmingly similar design, even pretty slight variations in the quality & craftsmanship can make a significant difference- just look at the difference a an older Japanese Squier Stratocaster, a Made in Mexico (maybe $400) Fender Strat- today the Squier line that used to be the worst & cheapest have improved a lot & have basically taken the place of this line, but when I was a teenager Squiers we’re the cheap, crappy borderline knockoff quality ones- & a Deluxe Strat from Fender’s American factory or even custom shop… And then many other third party “Superstrats” ranging in quality from even better than many Fenders (e.g. PRS’ version) to absolute knock offs. All the same design, basically. Many of them with the same materials. And yet because of very subtle variations, because of being mass production vs handmade, because of hardware differences, investments of time & money, these nearly identical guitars can range in quality & price by an order of magnitude (before getting into any “was owned by [x famous guitarist]”). So yes, you can technically make a very cheap plastic 3D printed guitar body… And if that’s what you’re interested in, go off- maybe over years or decades you can improve the process & tech enough to start to achieve the quality necessary to be able to start honing some of the finer, more musical qualities of an instrument (rather than struggling to simply make one that doesn’t buckle within a year). Not necessarily discounting the possibility (although I think the further you get into these finer points of luthiership, needing to make these very fine adjustments to achieve properties understood really only by high end instrument craftspeople, the more necessary it will be to actually know how to make a high-end guitar by hand before you’ll have a prayer of replicating such properties in a 3D printer- this isn’t stuff you’re just going to stumble across in CAD. You need to actually understand & be accounting for acoustics & resonance & how materials affect timbre & probably a lot of things I, as a non-luthier guitarist, don’t even know to identify for you)… So if you’re serious about this project & want to make a really good 3D-printable guitar I’d definitely bring a real, highly skilled luthier in on the project… Although even if it was possible, I do not know how many luthiers would want to design a guitar as good as the ones they can make by hand that cuts them out of the process & basically would make one of the few remaining good jobs automatable… So there’s perhaps also a dark side to this whole endeavor… But I suspect that just like generative art will not actually replace the demand for paintings, just like photographs didn’t, people will probably always want hand-made guitars, even if printable ones become a decent simulacrum of somewhat comparable quality. Anyway, without a luthier’s input, short of using AI to try to do some kind of fancy mathematical analysis to calculate optimal designs & materials, similar to the way a luthier would try to do (something to bring the acoustical properties of the instrument you’re designing into the process prior to printing a prototype), I doubt you’ll just accidentally achieve the kind of quality & reliability of a normal guitar, unless you do have luthier training & know what to be accounting for.

It was acoustic though; didn't sound great tbh and couldn't hold a tuning, but you could theoretically improve the design to enable swapping to a larger body or a different material to get a different sound.

If you don't go with the pre set kit you could probably get away with modeling it off of a travel guitar and making the "body" sections interlock somehow

I've never been into just having different body designs. I do like that every body has it's special function, such as the tremolo bridge and single coils and body cuts of the Strat, the ashtray bridge and twang of the Tele, the maple top and humbuckers of a Les Paul, the fast neck of an Ibanez, etc.

literally ANYTHING that can hold the strings and pickups in the right position sounds good, because the sound has absolutely no relation to the body of the guitar. An electric guitar sounds the same even if it doesn't have a body. Here is the proof: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z2Zo2n2jnJdkdHo

The Stratocasters have a floating bridge where most of the pulling force is absorbed by screws connected to springs on the back of the guitar. Can also be a good contender since you can make those screws as beefy as you want.

Most of the string tension on a Strat bridge is on the screws or studs at the front of the bridge plate, not to mention the pressure of the knife edge into the body just in front of that.

One idea to make less tension of the bridge pulling away from the body's face is to use a string-through body approach as seen in a number of schecter guitars (e.g. the c1-platinum) combined with tune-o-matic styled saddle. It doesnt solve the material deform problem (you already solved that), but it does mean that you dont need a "beefy" telecaster styled bridge to distribute the load on the face. Either way, this is one of the coolest projects ive seen with a 3d printer.

A 6 string set exerts around 20-80 Kg of tension on the neck. Even at 100% infill, a printed neck would crack under tension, even with a truss rod or graphite reinforcement rods. If you go for a printed fretboard, how do you attach the frets without destroying the plastic? 3D printed necks are not possible for guitars atm. The only company which does manufacture a neck through guitar made of plastic is Aristides and that's a carbon composite molded body.
@MattMcConaha
Жыл бұрын
@@BrunodeSouzaLino I'm not entirely sure that's true. PLA is like half as stiff as the wood that is normally used for making necks, and necks are more than stiff enough as they are typically made. Adding reinforcement seems like it could plausibly make the neck stiff enough. Maybe not, but I'd like to see tests instead of just going on the internet and telling people it definitely wouldn't work. As for frets, I definitely wouldn't want plastic frets. If nickel frets are already soft enough to dent over time, I'd imagine the printable thermoplastics would go fast.
@BrunodeSouzaLino

@@MattMcConaha While that's true, eventually the plastic will bend and start being destroyed over time due to the strong tension. Someone already tried to print a guitar neck and eventually it became impossible for the neck to even hold the tuning.

@@MattMcConaha You can definitely 3d print necks if you add supports to it and are careful with your printing pattern. A buddy of mine has printed a bunch to see if he could make it work. Warping is going to be more of an issue than snapping. And having the neck snap was far less of an issue than the frets. You'll want to still use fret wire as basically no 3d printed material we tested lasts long before the strings grind them down throwing off the tuning. Hell, given enough time metal frets get ground down, so most plastics are just screwed. And getting the fret wire inlayed without compromising stability is tricky. That said, there's another problem that everyone always forgets about... raw 3d printed necks feel awful. If anyone makes one, be prepared to experiment with finishing options because you're not going to want to leave it as the raw print.
