Core77

Well, the body looks like a Strat, but that's probably beside the point. You can read all about the genesis of this new guitar case design project at calderoriginals.com. Here's a juicy part:

"Dec 03 THINKING BIG - CAN BE EXPENSIVE (Part 1)
Now I needed a product designer to make it something that would work. Always one to go to the top I decided only IDEO the world's best know industial design company would do. Luckily Mat Hunter the designer who was sent my initial letter was in the company band and he was intrigued enough to take a meeting with this guy from Devon who didn't even have a company. Mat was great and encouraging but he pointed out that IDEO is not only the best known but also THE MOST EXPENSIVE."

Now, what's probably most notable about this whole thing is that it's documented on a blog. Should there be a blog for every design project? I suppose we'll let the lawyers sort that one out.
