The antithesis of every guitar I usually play. This prototype unites an ultra-lightweight body made of maple and rosewood with a bolt on 5 piece wenge-maple neck, sheesham rosewood fretboard, reverse headstock, 27.5"-25.5" multiscale, self built bridge, Hipshot tuners and active EMGs. I know the bridge PU angle looks weird, but it works. The woods are just oiled/ waxed. This axe cuts through the mix!

This guitar ist completely hand-built by a swabian luthier, no CNC-machine or something like that was used.

Two different concepts, two good guitars.

Very cool. What will be your tuning of choice for that guitar?  C standard?  Drop B...?

Very cool!  I dig the subtle updates to the Boden (I assume it started with that) design - carves around the top horns, contouring along the bass-side of the upper and lower bout - and the natural wood treatment really pops.  Also, a headstock.  :)

Also, TIL "Swabia" is a region of Germany - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabia

@Vector, just out of interest: Which luthier was that?

Have a Viertele Trollinger on me, cheers!
