None taken. But this one plays and sounds like a real guitar.

No. The body is completely 3d printed. No paint. I bought the neck and other hardware and built it myself. There is over 100 hours of printing time.
Thanks for the comments. Had several ideas on logo size and placement and just went with this one.

How does it sound? Compared to a regular Les Paul or Strat..?
What kind of pickups are those?
What’s the weight like...?

Sounds good considering cheap electronics. Those are knockoff humbuckers I bought on amazon for about $20.Has great sustain though.

Kudos. Some people have been here 10 years and still don't know how to post a picture.

It sounds good. Need to upgrade the electronics.

The weight is somewhat lighter than normal. However, this is dependent on how dense you print the plastic. It doesn't have to be solid. Trial and error until I get the right sound and weight. Stays in tune. Haven't messed with intonation at all yet. You can build a quality guitar this way.
Thanks for the questions and comments

Are those duel humbucker pickups? (I'm under 35 by the way)

$55 on Amazon. Maple. I believe it's for an SG Gibson.

Looks like a Stewart McDonald Kit Neck. I just built one of their Les Paul jr. kit guitars. It had the same headstock shape before I cut my design on it.
here is a link to a thread on the music board about that,

will have to scroll down a bit to see the photos.

Your post history is antithetical to everything Jerry Garcia stood for but I agree with your assessment of his guitar.

Anything to do with Jerry Garcia sucks.

Stays in tune? Sheeeiiit, that’s all you has to say.

Very nice.
