zeppelinchld Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 due to the popularity of my ergonomic guitar thread i thought an UNergonomic thread would be pretty cool heres one i found thats got to be pretty damn heavy even if its carbon fiber or wutever they make surfboards out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelinchld Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 could you get me the scale length for that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 These are two that I posted in the other ergonomic thread. This is the most comfortable guitar I have played. I have never felt more comfortable or safer in my life as I did when I held/pointed this thing. It's the second guitar down, the first one was terribly uncomfortable AK Guitar I found another one that looks pretty comfy at least in my opinion. If you have a chance go to the bottom and click the LA button and you can see a few more very comfy designs. Very comfortable Guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Here's another one: http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/image...-Air_Guitar.jpg Although, I think the hair-do is more unergonomic than the guitar is... And, to get off topic, I think this one may be, by far, the most COMFORTABLE guitar in the world: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9125/guitar9av.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezFreak666 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 how about that iv seen a pic of that one actully being played this guitar was made for malmsteen, but he never went to collect it so they auctioned it off and finally the 4 necked guitar made for michael angelo batio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've seen the Pikasso (the crazy multi-stringed/necked acoustic up there, built by Linda Manzer) being played (Pat Metheney), and while it may look insane and take a virtuoso to play it, it certainly isn't all the unergonomic. Wedged body (I believe), picking arm area is free, and each string course can be reached by comfortable, fairly minimal movement of the picking hand.

fookgub Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 There is a guy on Jemsite building a stone guitar. I'm not trying to talk bad about him because he appears to be doing an amazing job, but the weight still qualifies the guitar as "unergonomic," I think.

Robert Irizarry Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've seen the Pikasso (the crazy multi-stringed/necked acoustic up there, built by Linda Manzer) being played (Pat Metheney), and while it may look insane and take a virtuoso to play it, it certainly isn't all the unergonomic. Wedged body (I believe), picking arm area is free, and each string course can be reached by comfortable, fairly minimal movement of the picking hand. You're correct about the wedge body. I chatted with Linda Manzer a while back about her Wedge body designs and, in fact, this is the first instance of it. It was later incorporated into more conventional instruments. More about Linda Manzer's "Wedge" guitars. Regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
