First post so here goes. After lurking around here forever I figured I better bring it strong. 3d printing is a hobby of mine and with some spare time on my hands I have made a 3d printed Eye of the Tiger Guitar. After showing it to some people I already have several people wanting one so I thought I would show everyone what I came up with. This is my prototype/first one so don't be too harsh.

I would love to hear/read your comments.

Dudes under 35 don't have a clue what a guitar is.

The amount of times I've heard Wonderwall at parties says otherwise.

Man, that is cool as hell! Be warned though, LSU is very protective of it’s shite and the patent lawyers will be on you with quickness if you talk about selling some

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Yes, it sounds good. Has very good sustain.

Yes, 2 cheap humbuckers. All hardware purchased was inexpensive. I will upgrade in the future.

Great point about the legality issue.

Thanks again and please keep the comments coming.

I like it. My only small critique would be to reposition the eye away from the pick ups and more into the body. Then use the LSU pattern to fill in.

Did you paint over a Gibson?

First, I thought that hell was supposed to be hot, not cool?

Second, it’s LSU’s trademark legal team that will chase it down, not their patent team.

And no, he won’t make a dime. Cause said trademark team will be collecting every penny if he tries to make money on this without going through them first.

No offense on your work, but it looks like one of those “Rock Band” video game guitars....
