A fully functional acoustic guitar prototype, designed using AI-assisted workflows and built using accessible digital fabrication tools.
Designed from first principles, the instrument rethinks traditional construction, reducing complexity, part count, and manufacturing steps.
A hybrid construction approach blends traditional materials with digitally fabricated components, balancing acoustic performance with manufacturability.
All components were produced using desktop-scale tools, demonstrating a low-capital path to production.
The design reduces the number of parts and simplifies assembly, enabling repeatability without requiring advanced craftsmanship.
Internal air channels, inspired by Helmholtz resonance principles, are integrated into the structure, an approach that led to a USPTO patent.
