I'm just curious. There are different types of filament.
The fingerboard is narrower than a Fender, but the string spacing is similar. Hasn't happened to me, but I mostly use higher tension strings.
Thanks! I need to edit and post some more of those car show videos. The next year I was running my Marshall.
Good morning and welcome to the weekend. I greatly appreciate all the responses, advice, commentary and photos regarding my questions about buying a Ric. Just thought I would share that I reached out to the company inquiring if there might be any white finishes forthcoming (ala Rick James) and got a short reply that there were no plans for any at this time. I spoke with Sweetwater, who have always been very helpful, and I am a fan of their two year warranty, and their Jetglo Rics are on backorder with an anticipated delivery date of next May! Suspect it would be a similar story at the GC website. I plan on checking out Wildwood guitars as well. Their reputation for finish issues and whatnot, make me cautious of buying used without being able to give it a good once over first, so still thinking new. Perhaps this is a sign I am supposed to keep my hand on my wallet. At any rate, I appreciate the good words. Have a great weekend everyone.
One thing I can tell you is that I was sanding down the bottom so my finger has further to travel after striking the E string (I'm used to it hitting my thumb) and started to see little pits in the plastic. Since I don't know much about 3D printing materials, I decided to stop while I was ahead.
I could have sworn I once saw sleeve art on a SD record with a picture of a non reverse laying on (what looked like) a piano…..
The slicing software, which takes the model and creates the instruction for the printer to lay down the layers of plastic, will by default create a sort of honeycomb lattice in the interior to save material. That's likely what you are seeing.

Ah, thanks. Maybe I'll sand down more, then.
Wow a 440 Magnum in that Jensen! That engine is a beast! Look at the interior...there's wires hanging out! Wonder what he was wiring up?

Was watching one of those ‘analyze this song’ videos on “Reelin’ in the Yesrs” when they showed Walter Becker playing the T-Bird.
An interesting nugget is guitarist Elliot Randall played a 63 Strat (with a humbucker at the neck) through an Ampeg head and into an Ampeg 8 X 10 cab for the studio recording-

Or ask the guy to print one solid?
As long as it won't compromise its structure, I don't mind sanding more. It's just a thumb rest.
PSA:
Fret Nation has most of the Dunlop string sets on sale right now.

Remember the $1200 epiphone with no case on reverb?

I would never talk you out of owning a RIC, but Ric owners groups are the largest mass of d-bags I have ever encountered.
And I’m a corvette owner.
Kinda hard to say without seeing it. That plastic is pretty soft. Might be best to stop.
