Omer’s wildest dream was creating a connection between nature and a functional product - a delicately crafted musical instrument, the electric guitar for most sophisticated players. 

“I was always fascinated by nature and how we can still have it inside our homes,” Omer shares. “Especially when everything around us is getting more and more technological and somewhat cold.”

While many people (especially designers) fear AI, Omer Deutsch found how to use it for his idea to make it progress into the modern world and simultaneously poetic. His biggest challenge was creating an impossible image on MidJourney and then recreating it in a real-life guitar body. Initially, it was not a big success but a disappointment.

“I’ve started playing around with the MidJourney engine and creating some of my thoughts of guitars and sound cavities, at first, it was just crap,” Omer recalls. “But later I discovered some really interesting things, I then started exploring the relations between electric guitar, nature, and technology.”

After long hours of experimentation with prompts, ideas, and different tools, some really crazy ideas started to take their shape in the forms of moss, twigs, faux plants, and mimicking the roots. It resulted in a series of very unique instruments that sound amazingly and have all the clarity, the oomph, and the groomph every metal player needs.

“Working on this project challenged me in a lot of new ways that I’ve never thought I’ll go and I can’t wait to come up with the next challenge,” says Omer. “Taking the AI-generated image and replacing the weird guitar with my own design made everything look much interesting to me.” 

With careful handwork, precise detailing, and a lot of sawdust, Omer manages to create both unique and functional art pieces.

OD Guitars: Crafting Dreams, One Note at a Time.

Omer Deutsch is the luthier and founder of OD Guitars, the brand that is known for the unique Natural Geometric™ chambering system, which creates a distinctive sound characteristic. In his designs he tends to look at all things from a different angle and explore other ways of doing things.

“If I can’t be original then there is no point in making more of the same. We are artists, we need to express ourselves and share it with the world.”

The Natural Geometric™ is all about being inspired by nature and combining it with today’s modern design aesthetics. It’s taking mathematics, geometric shapes, and formulas and applying them to a natural material such as wood. Every instrument I make should turn out a little different from the other, that’s the unique aspect of a handmade guitar. It’s never the same as the one before it.

“Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by nature’s mathematics,” Omer remembers. “So I started designing instruments using the help of those shapes and mathematical rules, which in some way led me to combine them with the traditional methods of guitar building and design, within the surfaces of the guitar.”

These geometric patterns are all created by using CAD software and calculated in a way that expresses nature’s natural geometry. The Natural Geometric chambering™ was developed over the years and now defines the OD Guitars’ aggressive sound and mids loaded tones. Those chambering shapes change the guitar's tone, and the sound can be altered just by the chamber's position and pattern.
