From the bottom you see the guitar neck is set slightly back from the bass so it doesn't obscure your view and the whole instrument is still very thin and light.. Currently only 6lbs!!

The goal when carving a concept #guitar like this is to create something that is both comfortable and beautiful.. This heel joint fits both bills perfectly I feel.

The really fun part is carving the parts of this huge 3d joint that are invisible when the #guitar and #bass are held together.

Now all that remains is to carve the front of the #guitar, by hand, so that it fits into the cavity like a glove!

This lovely little tool, picked up at a car boot sale for practically nothing, is much better than the crappy hole cutters you get now days.
