This paper presents GUITAR HERO, a knowledge-based system to support experts of a handicraft enterprise involved in the design and manufacturing of electric guitars characterized by an aluminum body. The domain of the project is extremely innovative, because electric guitars are typically manufactured exploiting different kinds of wood rather than metals like aluminum, or other materials. To this aim, an ontological representation of the electric guitar has been implemented exploiting NavEditOW, a computational framework for the codification, navigation and querying of ontologies over Internet, based on the OWL language. This representation is the main subject of the paper together with a description of the domain and a brief state of the art.
