Short-scale Forshage headless!
Marc Why
(Klein-like) guitar.
This Ergo site is great, BTW, for references on equipement and
luthiers focusing on ergonomic options.

this walnut one is just a beauty!
I'm surprised that more of the semi-hollow fan club here at rmmgj
hasn't expressed more lust for these instruments. They are just
spectacular for jazz (and anything else, if so equipped). They weigh
5-6 lbs, balance on your leg, have large chambers for a woody sound,
and are handcrafted with a high degree of precision and customization
- all for around $3K.

Hey Roger, you never said what all that orange is about. The vid
includes orange t-shirt, orange guitar, wasn't the wall in the room
orange?
Tennesse Vols fan? Btw, mine will be blackburst with the curly maple.

I know, I'm an orange nut. My studio is called Lounge L'Orange.
I have an orange door, orange ceiling, orange espresso maker, orange
vintage dial phone, orange shag carpet, orange lava lamp, orange (and
silver) couch and pillows, and at least 3 orange guitars. Once you
get going with something like this, it's fun to keep it going.
Whatever. :)
Blackburst was one of my considerations back when. Can't wait to see
it!

Okay, just didn't know if it had something to do with a team
affiliation or something. Orange works. Didn't mention an Orange
amp.
Yeah, I can't wait to see it either, but wait I must. Besides, Chris
has his hands full with a new arrival.

Not the brand, no - but I do have an orange tolex-covered Princeton
Reverb!
Chris is on kid #2. I am pretty sure his wife had their first during
the time he was building my guitar. Anyway, this walnut model is so
cool. I have no excuse at all to buy another of the same model
though. Mine has a Gibson '57 Classic neck pickup; it is smooth as
butter for jazz tone.
Months ago I was musing with Chris about a true acoustic version of
his ergo design. I am still really interested in that. Even "mostly"
acoustic - with a floating wood bridge, and a significant body
thickness - at least 3". Either a floating or a routed humbucker.
Could still use the ABM tuning tailpiece that way - screwed to an
extended endblock or something.

Even better. I am afraid now to ask just how far this orange thing
goes. :-)

Yeah, I spoke at length with Chris about kids, etc, as I have a few
(4) of my own.

Sounds like an interesting project. In orange?
