Ideation

Phase 1:

Was aiming to create an attachment for guitars. Tested weight and visibility. Moved toward an amp design with indicators.

Phase 2:

Continued down this path to make something that can take into account the length of the fret board while still being compact.

Phase 3:

Realized that the user not only needed to store both the guitar and the amp but also buy both which can get pricey depending on the quality on the guitar. Moved towards an all in one device.
