Members GreatDane Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Sinuous SD-22 DESCRIPTION: Sinuous Guitars was not interested in designing and building another knock-off guitar; they felt the world didn't need any more of those. Instead, they approached this with a process that Charles Eames help develop 50 years ago in the furniture industry and, in the end, they feel they have a guitar that has a very sculptural form with a comforting feel and performs like something defined as an "instrument" should perform. The true difference is in how the guitar body conforms to your body. It gets rid of that feeling of playing a plank of wood and feels very natural. Some guitar manufacturers try solving this by cutting out the backs of guitars for comfort, but you can only cut so deep because it is a flat board. The process Sinuous uses allows the bending of the solid wood body into a shape that hugs your body and also rolls away where you do not want it to hit you, all while keeping the guitar thin and without unwanted weight. And the process is repeatable at an affordable price. The design process for Sinuous Guitars comprises a blend of computer meets handcrafted, manufactured meets old school, utilitarian meets high design. Through ergonomics Sinuous strives feel to create an intimate relationship between the player and the instrument; creating something special and truly authentic is their continual goal. At Sinuous, it is understood that not everyone prefers the same frets, pickups or even color. So whatever your special request may be Sinuous will do their best to deliver your Sinuous guitar exactly the way you want.

Members PurpleTrails Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hot, though I'm a bit afraid it would sound like an Eames chair. Also, looks like it has quite a blocky heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 For all its boasts about ergonomics, that's quite the blocky heel between the neck and body. I'd have to play it, but it doesn't really grab me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Not. Nice guitar, just not for me. Like the hard rock maple neck tho, like a few of my old ibanezes. Needs trem at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
