This Is the Future?

So, after posting yesterday about Fender’s very cool foray into the world of 3D-printed guitars I ran across an article on Premier Guitar about a New Zealand company manufacturing 3D printed guitars. Read the article here: http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/19361-odd-guitars. The company is called ODD Guitars and was started by Olaf Diegel, who is a professor of Mechatronics at Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand. The Guitar bodies are 3D printed, rather than carved, and are made from Duraform PA. They don’t come cheap, it looks like they start around $3000. Visit ODD Guitars on the web: http://odd.org.nz/index.html.  And now onto the pics and videos!
