Guitar Concept for Users With Low Grip Strength
An accessible electric guitar concept reducing the grip force required to play.
A group course project exploring how an electric guitar body and hardware can be reworked for players with limited hand strength — integrating servo-assisted fretting and a lightweight chambered body.

Placeholder text — early foam prototyping, blocking out the proportions of the neck and body in blue foam to test grip and scale by hand.
