Project Mehr| Parametric Guitar V3

Last crawled date: 1 year, 4 months ago

Hey everyone,
My Mehr design is now fully parametric and available to the public. There have been hundreds of versions of this guitar over the last few years each time I wanted to make small changes. However I finally sunk the time to make it parametric.

The model isn't 100% stable, you can still break the sketches/features if you push the parameters too far, however if you take it easy and make changes in small increments it should work for almost any spec.

_________________________________________

NOTE: I did NOT include any pickup slots, control cavity, or hardware. This is because I expect that most people will want to use their own pickups and harwdare - so use this as your starting point, then create those features based on your hardware of choice.

WARNING: Please pay attention to the comments I included in the parameters menu. They give important instructions to keep the sketches and features stable while making changes.
