7 string ergonomic electric guitar

This is one of my more unusual commissions: a 7 string ergonomic electric guitar inspired by the work of legendary American luthier Steve Klein. My version is constructed from Brazilian Mahogany with a straight thru’ neck and all black hardware. The wide fingerboard is to accommodate the needs of a player more used to classical width necks. As unusual as this instrument is, one of the client’s specifications was to keep the guitar as clean and simple as possible.

“Ergonomic design is a way of considering design options to ensure that people's capabilities and limitations are taken into account. This helps to ensure that the product is fit for use by the target users.” The Ergonomic Society
