Famine 5 String Bass
This guitars design is a fun exercise in relatively complex geometry. The fretboards compound radius is matched by the top of the guitar so that the saddles can then be machined at the exact radius which the fretboard projects to at the bridge position. The back is radiused in the same direction, but a much larger radius. The result is a very naturally ergonomic design that is also inherently lightweight.
