warmachine Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I started a thread last summer about a guitar design project that I was doing with my drafting class. Well the results are in. Things didn't go as planned but here are the designs that they come up with. each student completed and presented several Power Point presentations during the year on tone woods, parts of a guitar, guitar manufacturers, etc. Then i asked them to come up with their own design. And here they are. Please vote on the one you like best. Also, be kind these are high school students and most didn't know what end was up on a guitar before they started. Thanks. Please follow this link and vote for your favorite. I couldn't gt the scans uploaded, Photobucket is banned at the school.

Rick03038 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like number 2 myself. BTW...on guitar number 6 it's a Steve Vai handle. SRV didn't have one on his strat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Reeves Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I vote #1. It looks more playable, and I've always prefered curves to lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick500 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'd have to go with #1 as well. The others would present ergonomic problems. Points for creativity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like #4 myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) i like 6 maybe its the chuck taylor headstock (no i would change that) but honestly i like there drawing whom ever drew that did a nice job. edit from a the view point of some one who has spent a few hours behind a computer drawing this is kinda what i think 1 and 2 they had a good start but got bored quick probably a fairly talented student just not intrested in the project 3 lol yeah i have drawn many flames (and got decent at it) its no that easy keep it up you will get it. "b spline curves for the win" but i think that they where more intrested in drawing flames than the guitar 4 hell of a start on the head stock and neck but agian got bored with the body. 5 i cant even tell what way is up. but it looks like they had fun i guess that counts for somthing isnt that what this is all about 6 ok here is a kid that either took the project serious or was intrested in it through the end. nice job its not easy setting up curves like that they laid out the pickup routing controls and even a floyd rose hell thats a lot of work getting all that right looks like a very playable guitar (well ok the heastock is cool but i dont' knwo about pratical) i just looks like there was some serious work put in this designing a fairly unique and pratical insterment and isnt that what its all about?

Fowl2338 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like #4 myself. +1 = #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 #1 it is for me. It just looks... practical. Or rather, more practical than the rest. That's a hella long neck on #1 though. Bass? Baritone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAKO Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 2, 3, and 5 are a little busy for my taste, but the rest of them look good. # 4 is also my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissism Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 6 reminds me of New Hampshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Lmao, 6 just for the shoe headstock, and because it looks like the only one that might be playable. IMO it would have been better with a T-rex on it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae3 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Took me a while to remember what a chuck taylor was! #6 for me, gotta love the Vai influences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guernica Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 6 reminds me of New Hampshire I thought it might be an anatomy guitar with a liver for the headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
