I saw this on YouTube. Now I know what the Glarry unboxing was about. LOL. It came out really nice.

I really like the color of the body; the white pickguard is the perfect compliment! A cool retro look!!! Thanks for sharing it.

I know it took hours and lots of plastic filament to print that body. I 3D printed a several Yamaha Silent Guitar style silhouette bodies years ago and it took hours. It takes a lot less time to print guitar components like frets, string guides, bridges, tuners, strap jacks, and pickguards. After all, you need a cigar box for a cigar box guitar or ukulele.

Interesting.  Pretty.  I like it, but the old wood guitar suits my style better.  I must need one of each!  It weighs more than the wood!!

Sounds pretty good. But I’m with t-belly. I like wood. Old wood at that.

Well it plays well and it`s great to see what technology can do.

However! It looks far from cool to me. Sorry. I much prefer the wood body.

It does sound ok, but with the same neck on the wooden body so did the original.

I`d love it if it cost a teeny fraction of the original but you`d have to sell an awaful lot of them to pay for the cost of the 3d printer.

Not for me but still an interesting vid ;)
