Put Yourself In Indiana’s Shoes

Filed under: Design, Transportation

Have you got a death wish? Much like Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, you can prepare to meet Kali in Hell while risking your life to cross this bridge. It’s a long way down, so it’s best to keep your eyes on the prize. The prize being arriving on the other side safe and sound.

Designer Amit Zoran has been playing around with a concept that allows guitar players to customize their own unique sound. Using a CAD/CAM process, this conceptual acoustic sound box allows musicians to custom choose their own sound cells, creating a truly unique tone.

Each string has its own bridge, allowing each bridge to be linked to different custom sound cells throughout the design. The coolest part is that users can print out their own cell designs using a special 3D printer, as well as download other recommended sound cells from the web. — Andrew Dobrow
