Hand-Carved Violin-Inspired Electric Guitars – One complete, others in progress

[Donyahmed]

I'd like to share two hand-carved violin-inspired guitars – one is completed and assembled, while the other is still in the final assembly process.


They all share a similar concept and body shape, but I intentionally made them "similar but not the same." Each piece features a unique hand-carved pattern with distinct depth, grooves, and character.

The goal was to combine the classic, elegant aesthetic of a violin with the aggressive feel of a solid-body electric guitar, using deep wood carving techniques and a dark finish to highlight the wood's texture and grain.

The finished guitar is wired and ready to play, while the unfinished guitar is still awaiting hardware installation and final setup.

I'd love to hear feedback from fellow guitar makers – I'm always open to ideas from fellow guitar makers.

Very cool... The only thing I don't find appealing is the "poop emoji" on the headstock.

hahaha, I immediately imagined the shape.. but I think that's its characteristic

Man, these are awesome. One suggestion would be to consider headless electric guitars as well.

Beautiful, though I wonder if the top's edge carvings up where the right arm would contact the body for a right handed player would be uncomfortable?

Also, what do they weigh?

That's amazing, the top one is super cool and it would look awesome with a subtle burst too. What type of wood is that?
