Custom Headless
Black Burst, Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded
Having built up some experience and leftover wood, I built another guitar. I chose to build a 24-fret headless guitar, loosely inspired by Strandberg. The result is an extremely lightweight guitar with a trem (credits to Nova Guitar Parts), built to shred!
This time around, the build much smoother, despite my choice of trying multiple new things, like bending a maple cap, building a 5 piece neck, hand-carving various contours etc.

Custom ElectroNylon
Natural, Fishman Matrix
Inspired by Tim Henson's signature TOD10N, I started my second guitar build, and my first one from scratch. I had to learn a lot about woodworking, sharpening tools etc.
I might have sent it a bit hard, going for a more complex style of guitar. Admittedly, lots of things could be improved - the binding channels and binding overall being the biggest flaw, and I should've finished the body before gluing up the neck. Things would've been a lot harder if I didn't have a 3D printer to fab tools and templates as well.
Despite this, the guitar still ended up pretty decent, and most importantly feels great to play!

Custom Thinline Telecaster
Seaburst, P90s
My first try at building a guitar, helped by a pre-made kit. Lots of aesthetic imperfections, but all part of a learning process.

Custom Sofle V2.1 RGB
Ergo-Split Keyboard
I got interested in Mechanical Keyboards around June '21, and when I finally got a 3D Printer to play around with, I decided to try designing a custom sandwich-mount case for the Sofle V2.1, complete with underglow lighting.
It went well enough, so I ended up building another for my brother!- Fusion 360

Quest 2 Headstrap
Flip-Up, Halo
Whilst learning VR development, I grew tired of having to remove my headset completely every time I wanted to update code or change game configurations.
This led me to engineering a custom 3D-printable headstrap that conveniently flips up when I want to make changes at the desktop!- Fusion 360
