The Diagon-Frame Electric Guitar

Problem Statement

Our group had 6 weeks to complete a scaled model of an electric guitar that followed these standards:

$600-Dollar Limit (Including the Manufacturing Cost of $108.25)

The guitar should be fit for a/an beginner to intermediate player.

The guitar should be cheap, and yet have the best sound.

And Now…

Our 3 Main Designs:

The Tea Leaf

The Sabuar

The Diagon-Frame

What We Added and Removed

1)Lowered and Rounded the Curve

2)Rounded the Cutaway

3)Removed the Pickup

4)Added a Second Curve Inward

5)Removed Tail Pieces

The New Design• 3-Way Pickup Switch

•Mahogany and Hard Maple Body

•Two Hum Buckers

•2 Volume Knobs and 2 Tone Knobs

•3’-1.38” Total Length

•2 Concave Curves into the Body for Comfort

•Rosewood Fret Board

•Maple Bolt-On Neck

The Innovation of the Diagon-Frame Body

Instead of adding a different wood on top, the body of the Diagon-Frame is split into 3 sections vertically, with the warm mahogany wood on the outside in order to produce a warm resonation.
