Learn the process to create beautiful designs just like this. Enroll in my online industrial design course, Form Fundamentals. https://bit.ly/335vsqO . This video explores the industrial design process, from napkin sketch to prototype. I talk about formulating a product design goal, creating design criteria, starting with crude napkin sketches, and finally going into 3D CAD. The final result of all of this effort is a CNC'ed bass guitar prototype.
I've gotten MANY comments asking when/where you can buy the bass. If you're interested, click the link here to get notified when the instrument is ready: https://www.studioello.com/bass-notify
Big shout out to Two Cherries Instruments for CNC'ing this bass guitar for me. Check out his channel on YouTube: null

PLEASE NOTE: There are other luthiers doing things within the realm of ergonomic guitars. This video sorta makes it seem like I'm the only person doing this, and that is not the case. This design is just my take on it. I just wanted to point this out!
