Building a Super Strat with this guitar body is going to be so much fun! Be sure to follow along!
enjoy :)
Please use passive pickups so that the old tone wood debate won’t apply here!!
You have to keep the glass neck on it😍
Looks great! I really liked the glass neck look.
ENJOY your extreme neck dive Daz!
@@blkjakk Oh you! ;oP
The head dive on this guitar is gonna make an SG look balanced.
This is why for 23yrs I have never had to change the neck or body on my air guitar, still plays like new.
So, the reason you haven’t had to change the neck or body on your guitar for 23 yrs is because Darrel bought a 3D printed Strat body? 🤔
It’s an odd reason… especially given the fact that 23 years ago… and up until the couple weeks back before he made this video, you didn’t know he was gonna do it.
You must’ve known ahead of time that he was gonna do this. 😳 Holy hell. 🤯🤯
🐄💨
@@TheDealRonaldTrump If only you took the same amount of time to carefully read his comment that you took to be a jerk for no reason....
I imported tone air from Glacial areas, high in the Swiss Alps, it's much less polluted than normal air and thus, has much better sustain.
@@SaintKimbo Damn, I only have Mexican air on mine
Next you’ll proudly state that you are very skilled at “Guitar Hero”. Makes me sick. I have been playing, practicing, literally bleeding for half a century.
Oh do keep the transparent neck, it's a great match (at least aesthetically). Curious to see which pickups you will choose - not sure if tonewoods are a myth or not, so I look forward to your appreciation of the tone when the build is complete. As always, your channel is so awesome.
That would result in MASSIVE neck dive. Super light body + super heavy neck = unplayable nightmare.
It would look cool, but I think it would neck dive a lot
Tonewoods for acoustic guitars matter due to the properties of the fact it's a giant sound chamber & the woods will absorb the sound waves to different degrees - for electric guitars, it doesn't actually matter - tonewoods on electric guitars are a myth - there are no frequency differences between the woods that are ascertainable on waveforms from the output.
@@WyldeStarrTheWexican with electrics the general mass of the guitar can make bit of a difference but other factors like pick ups, their height and relative position to the bridge, strings, set up etc. outweigh the tonal difference the mass makes. Especially when you play with heavy distortion.
@@WyldeStarrTheWexican woods don't "absorb sound waves" in acoustic instruments. Sound is absorbed by permeable materials like foam, rockwool, or fiberglass. Anything solid is going to reflect sound with only negligible absorption. The wood matters because of resonance. The top plate material is of significant consequence because it's ability to be agitated by the strings to move air is key, the back and sides not really because it's the geometry of the chamber that matters. The thickness in top in sides will typically be adjusted slightly per material by the builder and you can get the same effect from any wood that's hard enough, including laminates.
So in acoustic guitars the top plate resonates with the strings and the back and sides are there to form an acoustic chamber. Unlike a violin, where the string vibrations are transferred to the back plate directly via a wooden post placed under the bridge so it also resonates with the strings, having a full-solid acoustic guitar will not show a difference to a solid-top only.
The see thru neck does compliment that body, very futuristic. Excellent content, thanks Darrell.
Agree 100%. Clear neck. 🍻
I second this
It does look really cool. Imagine the neck dive! Would be cool to have a body printed with provisions for LED lighting in the end of the neck pocket to illuminate that gorgeous Morningstar neck.
i agee
Darryl does not have a see through neck. I see skin. Very normal.
Looking forward to the final build! ALthough I must say that the glass neck on it certainly did give it a cool look!
As the new owner of a 3D printer for propmaking and practicality, I'd highly recommend that anyone with any interest in DIY projects to consider one. It still hasn't fully sunk in that I can just...make stuff. Pretty much whatever you can think of, you can go from CAD to a physical piece in a couple of hours. And not just for little desk toys and knick-knacks-get yourself a nice machine and you can print in carbon fiber nylon, which a lot of people are using to replace aluminum parts that would be too costly or complicated to machine. I've definitely been bitten by the maker bug and I'm 100% here for it.
I'm guessing some kind of composite neck? Carbon might be a nice light combo.
Kinda along the lines of what I was wondering. Try and address the implicit balance issues.
I'm curious about how it was designed. It seems to me that the middle could just as well be the body portion of a through-body guitar. Add some grooves. Then slide on whatever plastic wings you want.
Better still, easy to swap pickups.
We considered designing the guitars that way, but we'd need to find a solution for wiring the pickups in a way that can disconnect and reconnect easily. Not that it isn't doable, but it's challenging.
Pretty cool. And that glass neck, yeah that was cool too. Can't wait to see the actual final product.
Awesome! Can't wait for the full build. 🎸🤘🏼🍻
That looks amazing! I want one! Great vid as always, can't wait to see it finished!
Great looking guitar body Darrell. really looking forward to the complete build.
The glass neck belongs on that guitar.
Can’t wait to see how it sounds, cool looking eco too
That would be really sick with a modern carbon fiber neck and pic guard. I can’t wait to see what you come up with
I'm really interested in this build. I'm always looking for super lightweight options and this looks very promising. The glass neck looked great with it, but I could only imagine the neck dive it would have.
Yeah, I believe a Carbon Fiber Neck would be the best choice for this build.
Electric guitars require precision, stability and rigidity in their construction. I honestly don’t think it matters what they are made of as long as those requirements are met. “Tonewoods” are a myth. Frets, strings, pickups, tuning machines, bridges, saddles and nuts. If those work perfectly, so will your guitar. Historically, wood has been the best, cheapest and most versatile material. Probably not anymore. Keep pushing the envelope, Darrell.
I respectfully disagree, tonewood, in my opinion, definitely exists. If I may ask, how would wood be one of the most versatile material? Do you mean by how it can be shaped?
It’s applicable to acoustics but it’s very negligible when it comes to electrics. Most of your tone will come from your setup and your pickups. There is also way more that go into it that you wouldn’t even consider such as nut material, bridge material, the pot and capacitors you use, even the wire and solder you use which is very nitpicky and useless.
@@xbmpr I completely agree and would never overlook the other parts mentioned, but I think that wood does, however small, play a part in the tone of the guitar. I think nearly everything on the guitar plays a part in the tone.
@@xbmpr exactly, look at Danelectro guitars. They're made of Masonite! Freaking Masonite! And they sound pretty good.
@@Crazy_Cane Jim Lill has done all kinds experiments. Go watch his "where does the tone come from in an electric guitar" video. It's pretty interesting.
I printed myself a strat body, but mine had the central part made of wood. It sounded great and was very light, but it was a bit too flexible and went out of tune if you held it too hard. At the end I used its neck for another project, but I will build a new neck for it and reinforce it with some carbon fibre rods
Billy Gibbons has a telecaster very similar to this. He plays it live and it sounds really good.
I actually really like the glass neck on it. Curious to see what kind of neck you've ordered for it. Cool project. Can't wait for the update.
I am about 900 percent interested in this. My strat has to be SSS and hardtail, but I could easily seem m'self playing this.
is the glass neck way heavier then the plastic 3d printed body?
That looks pretty badass with the glass neck on it!
Sorry Darrel! It wasn't meant for you!
Dude this is 🔥! Great 3d body. That clear neck was kinda sick too! Great video man. Good luck with the rest of that build. Can’t wait to see the final 🎸
Look at this 3d pritned guitar
How about screw they don't usually take well to plastic how is that gonna work?
Very cool Darrell, can't wait to see the finished guitar.
Thank You Darrel. Like your passion and just overall fun approach.
I’m looking forward for the complete build!
Very cool, I can't wait to see it completed.
going to be interesting to see what it ends up looking like and sounded like that is for sure!
I can't wait for this build to be completed 🎸 I believe in tone woods but I'm open minded 🎸👍
This thing is so cool!! Not to mention it is the best color…green! 💚 I can’t wait to see it when it’s all done!! ✅
Look at this 3d pritned guitar
“Look at the color! Fantastic.”
Dude, it’s hideous. I love it 😆🍻
interesting! looking forward to the build and sounds!
Very very cool body!!!! Can't wait to see what u do with it!
This is great, really good project, good to push new ideas and designs
Could you please tell me your opinion on cort evl x7? Is it good overall?
Which toneplastic is the best?
Holy Moly.. I need that guitar! It would greatly help me with my neck, shoulders and back pain. I bet I can play hours before my hands and forearm start to go numb. That sexy little lady is wildly crazy and I just have to have her!
A green cool part arrived from the future ... 💚
Thanks a lot for sharing 👍
Cool 😎 it put itself together on camera 📸! It's Alive! The whole notion of lighter weight, is a great plus. Trying a wooden Fender neck and your "glass" one will tell us about it's tone. Can't wait til you plug it in!
That is awesome I love it never saw anything like that. Thx for sharing it
How do we hear how it sounds?
Me thinks Darrell is EXCITED!! This is A Way Cool project. I’m sure it’s gonna be a blast to put together! I will be watching faithfully! Carry on!
That looks so wicked especially with the glass neck. This is gonna be good!
With the amount of neck dive from the discrepancy between the body weight and neck weight it will be unplayable without hanging a 10lb weight from the rear strap mount. Sounds like a nightmare already.
I'm really interested to see how this works out. I have a slightly-similar style 3D printed violin, which sounds great (it does have some wood attached) but it's had to go back twice for shoring up, as parts broke under string tension. And that's violin strings!!
Was it done with a tone 3d printer?
Looks wicked, can’t wait to hear it
Imagine Hendrix setting this one on fire!
...and poisoning everyone in the front row. 🤣
How did he get his slicer to make angled honeycomb infill like that?
Are you worried about neck dive or sustain?
I can't imagine the amount of headstock dive with that glass neck. 😂 Super cool project! Can't wait to see where it goes!
Damn, now that’s a VERY hollow body! 😆
But fr tho, that looks awesome! Love the color, and as a humbucker fan, I like that you’re planning on going that direction with it. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Amazing work! Awesome design
That is fantastic Darrel. I just went to the link and he is selling it as a whole guitar. Im trying to leave him a message about just buying the body. Cant wait for the next video. Thanks
Love it. Did he use tone plastic or just the regular stuff?
It's reclaimed swamp plastic
For the price of these bodies, I'm willing to bet he uses extremely rare green ebony plastic to print them.
I like that they bookmatched the honeycomb.
probably just regular PLA, about 10$ in material
I want try building a guitar. Do you have any tips for someone that is a beginner builder and what tools would I need that are Essential
Cool! If designing my own strat, I would put the 5 way switch somewhere else, I always hit the switch when it's in neck position
I need to see this neck! It’s mostly a weight thing, but it’ll be cool to see how the balance is after it’s installed.
Ithink it is important to mention the type of material used. PETG, PLA, PLA+,ASA,ABS ? I think the differences between thise types of filiment would affect the sound. I am also concerned about the print orienation of the core If it is perpedicular to the neck it is not as rigid. 3d prints are weaker between thier layers. Is the core solid or hollow with infill?
Hey Darell, seen the Soli Deo Gloria in the description and wanted to say it makes me like the channel even more! God bless and to Him be the Glory!
Where can I purchase one?
I like the glass neck on it, looks awesome
the glass neck fits perfectly !
Incredible idea. I love this.
Darrell … you’re the only gear-guy I can stand anymore.
I like him too, but there are several good gear guys around....you are either not looking hard enough or are new to YT and/or guitar. And a 'great' gear guy would never look at a novelty like this, unless they are doing a 'toy' video.. NO ONE but him would buy/play this, and you will NEVER see a guitar god play one of these.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Same here. I can't stand narcissistic showmen.
@@DarrellBraunGuitar I appreciate the honesty & positive energy.
@@elguapo5467 😂
You know you're going to have to really wow us after how great that glass neck looks on there... no pressure or anything. ;)
Cant wait to hear how it sounds
I'm guessing with it being that light it's gonna have a big neck-dive issue?
The glass neck looked awesome!
Back in the 1970’s, Hexcel built snow skis with a honeycomb core design. And, there was a set of e theme perimeter weighted golf irons built with honeycomb reenforcement in the cavity. Best strength to weight ratio, regardless of build material. Looks cool, and makes sense…
It looks so cool.
I have a 3d printed guitar as well. I love it super light
The glass neck looks pretty cool too!
That glass neck looked so good on that
Whu not use the glass neck on this build, it looks so cool.
It's going to be a cool build!
I think the glass neck looks perfect
That is awesome the futuristic strat love it
Hi Darrell,
Could you do a pango kit? I have been ogling the timeachine style
No links to see it on etsy
ughhh! The glass neck needs to stay on this guitar! LOLOLLL!!
How do you think the neck dive will be? With a very light body and heavier neck.
Probably pretty bad! 😂
Would the neck dive not be terribly worse than a SG
That does seem really neat.!
Very interesting. Being so light, I'm expecting some neck dive....although we don't know what the neck is made of yet 🤓
Amazing glass neck on this hope you'll go for it. So futuristic
It looked good with the glass neck!
That glass neck looks SICK!!! Can't wait to see the final version! Please put a Dime Bucker in the bridge lol
I agree leave that glass neck on. It looks perfect for that body. Otherwise get another one of those cheap Chinese necks with the bird inlays. I bought two of those by the way and attached one on a fender Strat and the other on a Guitarfetish XGP body and they both work great. However, I like larger Frets so I may refret one of them with large stainless steel frets.
Dang, that's a first for me.
I am a professional product designer. I work with a lot of materials and have been using 3D printing for over 25 years.
I am unfortunately thinking that the stresses on this will warp the thing.
That center block is also 3D printed?
Very curious to see how it works and sounds.
wow thats trippy be interesting to see when the stress is on it how it holds up
I know you have a neck coming but I love that glass neck on it! Looks incredible!!!
Looks cool. I think that glass neck would look crazy on a acrylic axe
I would like to see a video with the glass neck on and you wire up some some pickups and controls on. Do a test to see how everything works and if that neck is going to have any issues.
Qualite video Darrell for sure!
Yeah, pretty looks... But, how will this acrylic neck maintain the tune (since it hasn't any rod, i.e. is spine-less)? Also: is the body firm enough to allow for the use of the floating bridge?
Great video Darrell!!!
The glass neck was the first thing I thought of when I saw the body! 🙂
