About Type V Primary Function: Travel Electric Guitar nga Madala sa Panaw

Ang Type V usa ka travel electric guitar nga gidisenyo para sa praktis ug paghimo og musika sa daghang lugar. Ang gaan nga lawas niini nagtimbang og 2.49 ka kilogramo ug nagtugot sa komportable nga pagtukar samtang nagbarog, naglingkod o nagsandig sa sopa. Ang solidong lawas nga Sapeli, usa ka lima ka piraso nga maple ug Sapeli nga liog, usa ka ebony nga fretboard ug stainless steel nga fanned frets nagsuporta sa taas nga sustain ug klaro nga mga tono. Ang instrumento nga adunay gipalapdan nga range naay 24 ka frets, usa ka headless nga fixed bridge ug usa ka matte black nga acabado. Ang porma nagkuha inspirasyon gikan sa hapsay nga mga porma sa mga yate ug jet.

Production Technology
The design started from concept sketches on a blank paper and continued with full scale drawings, CAD drawing, prototyping from extruded polystyrene foam, prototyping from MDF, and the fabrication with a CNC machine. Finally it has been manually painted, polished and assembled.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to achieve an accurate balance between attractive futuristic shape and functional characteristics of the musical instruments, and finally get it build precisely according the concept.
Research
Though being a huge guitar enthusiast throughout the years I've never thought about designing one. This project demanded a deep research in various aspects of electric guitars in order to reach maximum comfortable playability, sound specifications, ergonomics and last but not least - manufacturability. From analyzing traditional shapes to studying contemporary trends in the guitar industry and spending countless hours to search for any kind of relevant information, the process took it's time. But due to the positive feedback from fellow musicians it was worth it.
Inspiration
The guitar design based on both ergonomic body properties and shapes of vessels such as yachts or jets which smooth gliding on the waves or soaring high above evokes a feeling of absolute freedom just like our favorite music.
Project Duration
The project started in the Fall of 2018 and finished in Summer of 2019. It has been developed in Moscow, Russia
Operation Flow
Use it with headphone amplifier or a powerful guitar stack, just the way you like to play music.
