Mark Schmieder MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 09/08/05 Posts: 5965 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area	Don't look now, but a local guy has just created his dream guitar using 3D printing: http://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/3-D-printer-turns-out-plastic-guitar-3948205.php Guy claims this plastic guitar sounds better than most wood guitars. :-) _________________________ Eugenio Upright, Dingwall Afterburner, Yamaha BB1025X, 60th P, Select J, Rev Jag-Bass Yamaha WX5, Hammond 44 Melodion + XK3c, Moog Voyager, DSI Prophet08 + Evolver

So, the neck is still wood, with a truss-rod, it appears? _________________________ Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _

Mark Schmieder MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 09/08/05 Posts: 5965 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area	I think they kind of cheated. It's an awfully long article for being missing on critical details, but that's par for the course for what passes as journalism these days. _________________________ Eugenio Upright, Dingwall Afterburner, Yamaha BB1025X, 60th P, Select J, Rev Jag-Bass Yamaha WX5, Hammond 44 Melodion + XK3c, Moog Voyager, DSI Prophet08 + Evolver

Larryz MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 3592 Loc: Hwy 49, California	It's a new world out there and they are not just using 3D printers to make plastic guitars. They are making new mechanical arms and legs and even guns...laws are in the process to avoid patent infringements and the future of 3D copiers controlling manufacturing machines is going to be beyond our control...just saw it demonstrated this morning on a CBS Charlie Rose news program and we better be watching-out boys and girls!
