Project Description
Design Brief
Design and handcraft a fully functional electric guitar.
Participate in the Gibson Challenge and culminate in an exhibition at the gibson shop in Nashville.
Rock 'n' Roll
Rock and roll is more than just a style of music, it's an attitude, a way of expressing yourself through music that goes straight to the heart.
Shocking, Powerful, Direct, Expressive
Lightning Resonates with Music
The “Lightning Strike” electric guitar combines music and lightning with a built-in sound-activated light. Whenever the guitar makes a sound, the light will flash according to the rhythm of the music. This interactive design allows the player and the audience to empathize with the music and the light, enhancing the impact of the live performance.
Playing Showcase at Gibson Challenge Exhibit in Nashville
The Lightning Strike guitar was born from the resonance of lightning and rock.
It's not just a musical instrument, it's a medium of energy. Whenever it makes a sound, the lightning strips in the guitar will flash according to the rhythm of the music, as if the sound wave is tearing the air and the lightning is dancing along with it.
