Spark Travel Guitar

Spark

Spark is a travel electric guitar designed for portability and for production at home. The body, neck, and fretboard are printed by fused filament fabrication using recycled wood fiber and aramid composites instead of hardwood. The electrical and mechanical components are widely available, and assembly uses a solderless wiring system. Spark is finished by traditional methods, including sanding, fret seating, and a nitrocellulose lacquer coating. A headless fixed bridge keeps the full scale length within a compact form.

Spark Travel Guitar by Maxwell Brazo was highlighted as a grand illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Spark Travel Guitar won the Bronze A' Design Award in Musical Instruments Design in 2022. The A' Musical Instruments Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that honors exceptional design of guitars, pianos, violins, drums, saxophones, flutes, trumpets, harps and more.
