DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Black Hole

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Multifunctional Guitar

INSPIRATION:
Our two-person design team, which has 10 years of product design experience and 19 years of electric guitar playing, composed and performed in rock and metal styles, has gained experience in finding the appropriate reasons for combining these experiences. In Black hole, we have inspired hard rock and heavy metal & thrash metal styles, especially those like motorhead, metallica and slayer, and guitars such as jackson kelly jackson randy rhodes and gibson explorer and james hetfield’s guitar signatures.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Design of the body is based on the hard rock and metal music, which is also include science of ergonomics. The presence of a liquid crystal display on the fretboard, which adds to Black hole's functionality. Fret markers behind the guitar neck with braille signs, can help people who are blind or have low vision, to find frets. This function even makes professionals to play guitar easier. Existence of a controller on guitar’s body, allows the player to instantly change the monitor's images.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The idea of the display on the fretboard has several modes: Learning, Practicing, Performing, In learning mode, musician can learn guitar lessons that especially designed for the Black hole. They can save data in guitar's memory and learn it from the display. In practice mode, musician can practice guitar patterns. In performing mode, Imagine when the music riffs & solos playing on stage, the guitar displays images, associated with music sensation and shows the excitement inside it on display.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
This project started in November 2018 until March 2019, in Tehran Iran

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
We started with sketching on paper and implementation thoughts with digital sketching and got a basic look. By doing several reforms and trying to optimize the final design, we use catia software to make sure Black hole was producible. After rendering with keyshot software, we got to the final look. We created the video with final cut pro software and compose a song especially for this project.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
1118mm height x 423mm width x 93mm depth

TAGS:
Guitar, Electric Guitar, LCD Fretboard, Black hole, Guitars, Visualization Riffs Solos

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The design of the guitar has hitherto been more limited to simple geometric volumes and fixed graphics on its body. While we thought that the appearance of the guitar would not be limited to the silent face no more. Considering the technology of the day, the smaller and lighter electrical parts that use in mobile phones as you see. We decided to integrate the technology of the day with a unique design of 80s music styles based on our experiences.

CHALLENGE:
Broader research to optimize early ideas is always a hard way. Of course, it is acceptable that there is always need greater hardness and effort to be optimized and matured.
