Dan’s guitar came together this week, what a fun project. Like I said before i never gave much thought to ergo minded instruments before this project request, but i definitely see the advantage now. The guitar is super comfy in the playing position and is very compact, although it has a decent amount of air space inside so i bet it will have a very convincing archtop tone. These pics show the various trimming steps, arm beveling (including my “improvised holding platform” i.e. me winging it with hold-up blocking) and also the guitar after sanding / clean-up. I also had to deepen the neck pickup pocket with a new cutting path since it turned out it wasnt deep enough to house a pickup. Things dont always go in order on a prototype- Its always a little dicey doing things later like this, but after i got it all lined up it turned out perfect. On to the finishing stage- stay tuned!
