This 3D printed guitar is made from titanium and stainless steel and was designed to hold its form whatever happens. This thing is supposed to be un-breakable. Even when rock guitar players lose their shit and decide to smash the hell out of it!

A fan of metal guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, Henrik Loikkanen was inspired to build a guitar that Mr Malmsteen, who is famous for losing his rag and being a little highly strung at the best of times, could not destroy.
“We had to design a guitar that is unsmashable in all the different ways you can smash a guitar,” Loikkanen said. “The engineering challenge was that critical joint between the neck and the body that usually cracks on a guitar.”
Tomas Forsman came up with the Isotropic Lightweight Structure or ILS, the strongest structure with the least weight possible. This is what gives the guitar its unique look and design.
