Smashing guitars after shows may become a relatively inexpensive pastime thanks to the new Zoybar Tor. The Zoybar Tor is a 3D printed guitar made by Bård S D.
The Zoybar Tor was constructed using $175 worth of materials and Shapeways, an online 3D printing service. I'll admit that I'm no authority on guitars, but the video of the Zoybar Tor in action sounds pretty damn good to me. Purists may cry foul, but 3D printed guitars just might be the way of the future.
