Final Prototype Update

Since my last prototype update I have gotten a lot done. I created a foam back for the guitar to rest on, and I created a rough version of how the Body Holder will expand and collapse to hold multiple types of guitars. Lastly there is a picture of the 42" x 18" piece of wood that all the pieces will be attached to, shown with and without the basic pieces that will be attached in their respected spots. You can check out pictures here: Final Prototype Update

Prototyping Undate #2

My latest prototype regards the Neck Holder for the guitar stand. You can check it out here: Neck Holder Prototype

Rough Mock-Up Design for the Guitar Stand

These are pictures of my Rough Mock-Up Design for my guitar stand, featuring one side of the guitar stand with a mock-up version of my guitar body holder and neck holder, as well as a simple design for the base. The other model shows the cone-shape that the stand will have once completed, as well as a dome-shaped base. Guitar Stand Rough Mock-Up Pictures
