How I Re-Designed the Traditional Bass Guitar: Industrial Design Process

Get notified when my design course launches: . This video explores the industrial design process, from napkin sketch to prototype. I talk about formulating a product design goal, creating design criteria, starting with crude napkin sketches, and finally going into 3D CAD. The final result of all of this effort is a CNC’ed bass guitar prototype. Big shout out to Two Cherries Instruments for CNC’ing this bass guitar for me.
