VECTOR Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonge Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Wow that's cool. It's really cool to see a new interpretation by a different luthier. That's art that you can play. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixesandsevens Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
