  • Joyce Cooling's Travel Guitar

    Attached are two pictures of Joyce Cooling with a travel guitar she had made by Rich Hoeg, and an article where she talks about it and her other gear. I'm not interested in a travel guitar, but I really like the look of this guitar. Have any of you seen any production guitars similar to this? Almost everything I can find in a "frame" or "skeletal" guitar is shaped like an acoustic guitar, a Les Paul style, or something exotic or bizarre. I think the strat shape of this guitar in a frame-like format is very attractive.Click image for larger version

        I remember Musician's Friend hawking an aluminum bodied guitar with a similar design about 20 years ago. Check out this and this.

          Those Abel Axe guitars look pretty cool. Unfortunately, I guess that they were only able to sell about 200 of them says something about the demand for that type of look.

            Yamaha's Silent Guitars are not equipped with solidbody type pickups, but they work well as is, and can be modified....

              Those Silent Guitars are cool instruments. A student of mine has both the nylon and steel string versions.

                I have the steel string version, and want to get the nylon version, too.

                  Lee Ritenour uses the nylon string version all the time.

                      A Les Paul like that would be interesting
                      Les Paul 2021 with Post Modern weight relief, inspired by when Henry snuck into the factory one night, and in a fit of misplaced anger and screaming how he would "finish this weight relief thing for good". He "weight relieved" several huge holes clear through the body in historic-bound Les Paul bodies. What Mad Henry thought was ruined inventory became the next inspiration for Gibson luthiers.
