This base quote of $999 doesn’t include materials, which are charged independently from the guitar itself. This usually results in your guitar costing $1,399 to $1,499 on average.
Description
Praxis Zero by Praxis Guitars
Modular Innovation Meets Artistic Expression
Introducing the Praxis Zero, a revolutionary modular electric guitar designed to redefine the way musicians connect with their instruments. Developed by Praxis Guitars, the Praxis Zero combines cutting-edge engineering with unparalleled customization, delivering a playing experience that is uniquely yours.
Parametric Customization: Precision Tailored to You
The Praxis Zero utilizes an innovative parametric instrument generator that adjusts every element of the guitar digitally, ensuring a one-of-a-kind creation tailored to your playing style and ergonomic preferences. This advanced customization system empowers musicians to shape their instrument’s form and functionality, pushing the boundaries of musical expression.
Modular Design: Flexibility and Affordability
Designed from the ground up for modularity, the Praxis Zero brings custom guitars within reach. By reducing the instrument to the essentials of neck and frame, it minimizes cost without compromising on quality or playability. Its modular metal frame allows different elements to seamlessly come together, offering unmatched versatility in configuration and style.
Key Features Include:
• Modular Metal Frame: Innovative frame/neck connection delivers a distinctive tone with enhanced resonance.
• Adjustable Tension Neck Joint: Simplifies alignment between the neck and body for a perfect setup every time.
• Lightweight Design: Can be crafted as an ultra-thin guitar weighing as little as 0.5 kg (a little over a pound), or mass can be added to adjust resonance.
• Fully CNC Fabricated: Designed for production on standard CNC machinery, making it more accessible to builders worldwide.
Cave Scalloping: Exceptional Pitch Control
The Praxis Zero was the first musical instrument to feature Cave Scalloping, an innovative fretboard design that removes wood underneath the strings between the frets while maintaining the edge material. This allows for exceptional pitch control and reduces resistance during string bends, giving musicians unmatched expressiveness.
Commitment to Sustainability and Open-Source Freedom
At Praxis Guitars, we believe in building a better future for music and the planet:
• Carbon Negative Manufacturing: We aim to become a carbon-negative manufacturing chain, reducing our environmental impact with every guitar produced.
• Transparent Data and Open Source: Every instrument is optically and acoustically scanned to contribute to our growing guitar database, ensuring transparency in our raw material sources.
• Creative Commons Licensing: The source files for the original Praxis Zero prototype, known as “Erika,” will be released under Creative Commons Licensing, empowering builders and makers to create their own versions. The frame and neck are licensed for commercial use, while the body design is licensed for non-commercial production only.
A Legacy of Innovation
The Praxis Zero represents the evolution of musical instruments. Starting as the first prototype ever sold by Praxis Guitars, it has transformed into a fully customizable masterpiece. After the 2011 Kickstarter, the team at Praxis Guitars dove into design software, developing an operational parametric neck generator named Qlawdia. This groundbreaking tool customizes ergonomic preferences such as string length, neck thickness, and curvature profiles, producing a guitar neck made to precise specifications.
Play the Future
The Praxis Zero is more than just a guitar—it’s a vision for the future of music. Designed for the bold, the adventurous, and the artistically driven, this modular masterpiece delivers performance, style, and innovation in one extraordinary package.
Step into the world of parametric design and make music like never before.
