the map

recently i have been thinking about what a guitar could be. there have been a lot of great design ideas in the area of instrument building. So why not look at them all? Moreover, why not try to combine them to imagine what a truly contemporary guitar would look like. I have organized the parts of the guitar into six categories of focus. Each of those categories have their own sub-categories.

Body

Frets

Controls

Neck

Bridge

Pickups

looking around the internet, with all the amazing guitar designs out there, i felt that this map reflected all aspects of the guitar. You may notice as i advance there will be extreme bias as i have small fingers and i want a guitar to relieve the comfort of my impediment.

Some comments may become contentious and you can voice your concerns but, be nice. I just want to know what this thing could be.

If i have missed something, please let me know.
