Gene baker's proto ergo 8 string set neck

[asher]

I feel like I should like this a lot more than I actually do Like, the work looks absolutely immaculate, cool wood, nice color... but it just kind of ends up looking like a strandberg that put on 20 pounds to me.

I do think those in-progress ones look pretty good though, so maybe it's just the finish.

gene wanted more ass than a strandberg can deliver. the "strandberg that put on 20 pounds" comment works, if you're talking about tone. we're talking ergo erg with the boomph of a killer les paul.

i started playing ergo guitars in 1984 (steinberger gl2t from styvesant music on 48th street). i started playing 7 string guitar in 1990. i started playing guitar in 1970. i went back to vintage style guitars in 1992, with a quick delap detour in 1999. gene's guitar is the first ergo that i've seen that gives me the confidence that i won't be trading down in low end fundamental response.

i will continue to update this thread, progress permitting.

Wow, very nice!

Interesting bridge. How does it feel to play whilst resting your palm on the bridge? Seems like it might hurt.

Sick. Dude that'd be sick if you could walk to a beach and unlock/find your new axe after defeating a boss or some .... haha.

not a fan of the chode horns, but wow the build sure is beautiful. beatiful woods, beautiful colors. rarely see neck binding on a fan fret so thats awesome. also curious bout those bartolini pickups.

Good grief!
Would you just look at that binding!

 

[Slunk Dragon]

Whenever I see that binding on any guitar, it always looks like garbage.

This time, I just have no words... It's impeccable!

 

[Atomic Kemper]

I'd like one

I can't even say how wowed I am by these builds. Lately I've been longing for an ergonomic les paul killer, which has seemed like an oxymoron for a good long time. I'd love to try a 6 stringer like this in drop C.
