3-D Printed Guitars - Simply Stunning.

This technology is really cool. They are even making bathing suits out of 3-D printers.

Printers as garments have a celebrated history ... cn

Cool post. That picture reminded me of a Fender Guitar prototype from the mid 90's but they made the body out of aluminum. Not the best tonal qualities but looked freaking cool. Depending on the price, these could be cool art/guitars. (doubt they will be tone monsters but would look great on the wall)

I prefer the vintage instruments but play everything. With guitars, you get what you pay for. IMO
