The Art of Depth: Building a Striking 3D Layered Guitar Creation! Superstrat guitar build.

Building a 12 layer electric guitar with Two Trees TS2 Laser
If you would like to have a kit body send me a message on my website:
magicatticguitars.com/
This was a prototype of a multi-layer guitar build. I used 3mm thick poplar plywood because it is lightweight and easy to cut. Next time I will probably change the first and last layer for birch to make it harder and more wear resistant. And when I perfect the design I will offer kit bodies that will fit the Stratocaster neck so you can build your own guitar with this 3d effect.
I really enjoy experimenting with my guitar builds. Let me know if you find this kind of content useful or enjoyable to watch. I’m making these videos for you and would love to hear your thoughts to make the best content possible in the future.
Disclaimer: Two Trees sent me their TS2 laser cutter free of charge to test and review.
I was not obligated to say anything positive about the product. But I must say I really like it.
It is an incredible machine and I would recommend it to anyone in the market of a laser cutter.

I love the geometric design and depth in the layers here. It looks really cool! And the added lines on the knobs is like icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing!

Ti si, druže, najkreativniji graditelj gitara za kojeg znam. Tako lude ideje ima možda još jedino Spalt u Austriji. Ako ikad budeš primao pomoćnike, obavezno objavi konkurs, biće sigurno mnogo prijava. Svaka čast i samo napred! You, mate, are by far the most creative guitar builder I know of. Only Spalt in Austria could compare, I guess. If you ever need helpers, open a public contest and there's bound to be loads of applicants. Way to go, rock on!

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Hvala brate! Da, Spalt je super. Ovo je baš veliki kompliment.

Good job. Additionally you can try to make not similar layers. In result -you will have an effect like in baroque guitar rosettes.

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

I've thought of that also. Might look cool.

[@salmonti9707]

I am impressed ! Where did you get the idea for this, you madman ! Love the look, it is thinking totally out of the box. Great work.

Thanks man. I've seen people making multi layer mandalas. So I combined the idea with guitar building:)

[@alexandremarinho9616]

Parabéns 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Thank you!

[@oldflat9526]

In the first and the last plywood layer you can try to glue a veneer (for example walnut)before laser cutting (I know --it is a not ideal idea --maybe laser will spoil borders of veneer, but it is need to test)

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

That's actually a very good idea. Thanks!

[@christophertodd6405]

Very cool. I'm just glad I don't have to keep it clean.

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Thanks Christopher. And I'm glad I have a compressor and an air gun:)

[@madeofnapalm]

Looks amazing, and those fret ends are dressed perfectly. But you have to at least strum it once!

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Thanks. I used to bother my friends to play it at the end of the video. But I couldn't get him at the moment. I will do my best to get him to record a demo and post it to my Instagram. I'm not the best person to play for recordings.

[@donyoan]

Looks very nice! How is the sustain?

[@sherryleggett1612]

It would be nice to hear it play. It looks terrific but a guitar is all about the sound. I have recently bought a laser and I really want to try some 3D projects. Would you sell the SVG for the guitar and the neck?

if the first layer was in "real" wood it will be a very very very nice guitar . with a "strat" neck and pickups it will be so good either ...very good work and idea. keep on the good work .

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

I agree. My first idea was to rout out a piece of walnut and then inlaying this design into it with a walnut top. But I had to make sure first it will work out so I made this as a prototype. Thanks man!

[@PaulCooksStuff]

You must love glue ups! But the end result is worth it.

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Thanks man. It's pretty light but still well balanced.

[@MarkRawling]

Fantastic! Did you have any trouble with glue squeeze out?

[@MagicAtticGuitars]

Thanks Mark. Not at all. I was very careful to apply justvthe right amount of glue. And I waited for a minute after application so the wood soaked it in a little bit.
