My Guitar Build @ Building The Ergonomic Guitar

ririzarry · 2006-12-01T23:20:33Z

I thought I'd post about my electric guitar build based on the Klein electric guitar design - a guitar noted for its ergonomic form.My interest in guitar ergonomics is a result of many years of chronic back pain (now largely under control) as well as my more recent development of Repetitive Strain Injury or RSI. The most common form is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome but RSI takes many shapes.As a result, I've embarked on building an ergonomic guitar which I document at my blog Building The Ergonomic Guitar. In addition to the build, I look at a range of subjects related to ergonomic guitar design.Currently, the basic body is complete, the neck and bridge mounted and the guitar strung up for testing. Here it is in its current state've done all the work on the body. The neck and bridge are from a Musicyo Steinberger. Since this is my first build, I opted to leave neck building for a future project. I've been testing over the last several nights and I'm pleased with the results so far. Over the next several days I expect to finalize the largely complete forearm and belly contours as well as route for the pickups and controls.Regards,Robert Irizarry
