Yanko guitar

A basic principle of design is "form follows function". He really missed the boat on this one, and if it is indeed a student, I hope the teacher caught that and flunked him.

The same could be said of a Frank Lloyd Wright house.

This thread cracks me up. . .

Guitarists - "Yeah, cool guitars man!"

Guitarists - "Ugh nobody could ever play a guitar with poor ergonomics! This is something we suddenly care about for some reason now."

Looks like the old original Dearmond Dynasonic pickups. Very cool pups but very expensive these days.

Actually, a Strat and a Tele has much better ergonomics than anything with a large rectangular body. I've played some guitars that were designed solely for ergonomics and they look so odd that they could never have a wider audience, which is a shame. They were also super expensive.

It looks like something I would shovel a horse stall with. With that in mind, whenever someone makes an ergonomic design, the guitar world typically pushes back on it.

hahha.

It is true -body contours are the things fat people care about.

A Tele shape is no problem if your gut isnt facing it to the floor.

Those Ovations were great shapes, but they were neck heavy. Klein refined that shape and made it headless, and solved the issues. BTW, a Klein was the best instrument I've ever played.

That Klein looks hella ergonomic!

What Klein attributes make it superior to the EBMM Silhouette?
IMO the Klein is odd looking, the aesthetics would be a no go for me.

I never experience any neck dive with mine and I have a 12-string.

Really? Well, maybe it was just the few 6 strings I've played...maybe 3 of them. But the body shape is super comfortable.

I could see Prince having rocked that last one in purple
