Up to the point of the end of this video, the neck is an asymmetrical polygon. If I were to deliver guitars with a neck like this, fewer people would be "satisfied customers". Possibly no people, and I'd have had to find a different line of work; probably still be a musician. That's where I thought I was going in my 20's. I now realize I am not emotionally suited to that life. Close one.
