3D Printed Aluminum Guitar!

[Anderton]

First McDonald's offering techno placemats, and now this....brings new meaning to "heavy metal," doncha think?

[Phil O'Keefe]

That IS cool! I even kind of like the way it looks!

Be careful...could get all cut up... Wonder why that design. Can Fender sue for Trademark infringement if it were mass produced?

Too late for that now.

Printed barbed wire; could the pickups be far behind? Can't wait for that food synth.

and its not just 3d printed and ready, there is a lot of stuff to do afterwards, but its really cool

Yeah, man I had a gold plated one like that, matched my Corvette. But it kept ripping my custom-made Nudie cowboy shirts...

Wonder what it sounds like. Not really my aesthetic. If I were going that route, I would probably do some sort of cool quasi-steampunk thing or riff on H.R. Giger stuff and see what comes up. I know both have been done a fair bit, but I think there's room for coming up with something insanely cool nonetheless, especially with quasi-steampunk stuff.
