The design has definitely grown on me since I first saw it a while back. Great to see the huge effort that some have put into this project. What are the chances that you send one of these to someone like Rhett Schull or Paul Davids for a review of playability and where it sits in the spectrum of designs etc?
All awesome guitars! I would love to participate if you do another one. Maybe create a new design from scratch. Record all the videos of the design process so people can follow along and reinforce how to design in F360. Then have another build off using the new design.
These look awesome! I've just started using your videos to learn guitar design in Fusion 360 and that are very easy to follow. Your video(s) on parametric fretboard design made a very challenging process quite easy. Do you have any interest in a follow-on video that expands that concept to the rest of the neck design? I've been trying to make a neck that will adjust based on the parameters of the fretboard, but it usually just breaks. Have you ever done a neck this way? I imagine things like the location of the thickest part of the neck could also be set to adjust based on a parameter input.
Im glad you found my videos helpful! I have indeed made a parametric neck and body that updates! I will hopefully make a parametric neck and body video to compliment the fretboard someday, but it's not quite ready for the public. Need to refine it more. For the neck your heel geometry essentially needs to be fixed, but the neck can expand between the heel and the headstock. For the body to change along with the neck, you need to pick a fixed spot where the body meets the neck and never moves. Everything else will expand or contract from that point. It sounds complicated but it's surprisingly easy.
