Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
El Guitarnome

Location:   West Gate  B4   


Over the last 9 months I have built a custom guitar from building the guitar body from cherry, wenge, and maple to finishing the neck with a zebra wood fret board and a birds eye maple neck. I have embedded a Monome within the body and custom built the encasing for all the electronics, I can now run USB and my 1/4 cable out to my audio interface and rock it with my Guitarnome.

I have a few more things to finish on it but I am in the final stages!

It was something I started in highschool, then 8 years later have finished.
