This is part 5 in a series where I attempt to build the classic shaped "Flying V" guitar using a 3D printer. While I've done a few guitars in the past (and they are functional and look good), this is the first time I've tried to the design work myself.
This video will show you some of the components that I have chosen for the build, and I outline some of the options you have to source components if you want to build your own guitar. I'm not an accomplished guitar player or luthier (far from it) but I enjoy designing and making things.
The series is really about trying to help anyone who want to give it a go try and do the same thing - I'm sharing things that I have learned, any tips that I might have, and also the mistakes I have made along the way.
Professional editing and fancy titles? Nup. I'd prefer to 3D print rather than edit video! Cheers, Perry

Yes, I buy a lot from Amazon (convenient and affordable). However I'm going to check out local music stores and see if there are betterr components that I could be using which are still affordable.
