    That ambidextrous design MG6 is interesting. I do not recall seeing anything like it before.

    If he was still with us, I could see Bo Diddley playing these.
    I miss the 80's (girls) !!!

      I think these are pretty cool and would love to try one out.

        They're visually striking. Not sure I'd call them graceful but I could see the look growing on me over time.

        I think the string-through-into-super-deep-bolt-on design is brilliant.
        Reminds me a bit of the extra-long neckplates some used on Telecasters back in the 60s & 70s.

          They hit me as well made from an engineering viewpoint, and as for styling - trying very hard to not be like anyone else, totally un-derivative. Would like to have one on the bench to examine further.

              You think that's clever. It's not.

                Danish Modern is fine for furniture. Not so much guitars.

                  I'd buy a bunch of them, glue them to a wall in a nice pattern, then take ketchup + mustard squeeze bottles and go to town on them, then a can of sealer splashed on top, and call it "art".

                    I'm not sure if I dig them or not. Not too modern, but not too retro. I'd prefer something a little more definitive maybe. That said - high points for originality.

                    Looks like you could flip the guard on a couple and make them lefty also.

                    Not a fan of the ambidextrous one. Interesting take though. Not loving the headstocks at all!

                    But...maybe in a Swedish tiny house or something. If you dig'em, cool. Dig on.

                      I think I like curves better. But I like the fact that they are unique.

                          I think they look nice, and they're definitely "artsy", but as a purely sit-down player, I'm not sure how one of those would sit in my lap.

                          But I love that someone is doing this.

                            Are these the latest Ernie Ball Music Man designs?

                              The knob and switch positions might be a little hard to get to. I do applaud the out-of-boxness.
