So, it's a super-fancy kit guitar you get to build over and over again every time you want to take it somewhere? LOL!

I love the effort and apparent quality of the pieces (all praise the mighty CNC), but let's be honest...some of those body designs are pretty fugly and, like Mincer said, why keep a headstock at all if it's just another piece you have to bolt-on and a likely point of failure with continued use?

And how much do you think that thing weighs?

The thing I like the most about this is that you can choose the neck material (mesquite??? nifty) and potentially get different scale lengths to swap on. I dig a few of the other design ideas too - the removable jack assembly, the integrated tremolo stop, the tool holders. Seems like it would be easy to work on.

The removable headstock looks like it's more trouble than it's worth; I personally have no use for it and I don't know anyone who does. Great for industrial design nerds. Juice not worth the squeeze. It does seem like the guy put an awful lot of thought into the weight and durability of his fastening system. After reading through the whole website, I'm impressed overall, and I bet 20-years-ago me would have really wanted one of these... but I'd also probably put it together once and never break it down, so what's the point?

He does say he'll build a neck with a standard headstock if you want. That's cool. That's probably what I would ask for. But really I'd want to play the thing first, and for upwards of 2k I would want it to be awesome.

I'm thinking the same. I would get a complete neck as well if I were to buy one. Maybe a couple of different necks, who knows.
I still think this design is pretty interesting.

Lots of great features packed into that little concept. I dig it.
