I love products that you make yourself as a project with a 3D printer and other tools. In this video, I showcase the Cateran Mk2, an almost entirely 3D printed guitar from Filatone Instruments. Since I’m only a novice musician, I was lucky enough to have my friend Andrew come in and test the guitar properly. In addition to his verbal feedback, I think his big smile says a lot. I highly recommend this project.
The Cateran k2 and all of the hardware was purchased with my own money, apart from the fret wire which was generously donated by Andrew. All opinions expressed are my own.
One additional thing to mention is that nothing is glued here, so you can reprint anything you’re not happy with, or simply change the colour if you desire. I will probably redo the body in another
