Dark Art Guitars | Dark Art Guitars "The Watcher" Headless Guitar Build feat. RatRig Killerbee CNC @DarkArtGuitars | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I have finally gotten around to building my first guitar from scratch. I designed everything in Fusion 360 and used my RatRig Killerbee to cut out the rough shape. What followed were weeks of sanding and finishing to get to the final result.
Want me to build you one, reach out to me on Instagram @darkartguitars or guitar@darkartguitars.com
