Update from KOZM Guitars
I've been working on a couple of super-ergonomic guitars for a client.
Here's a look at what's been going on. Here's how the guitar is intended to be held. I'm actually making two different versions - mainly to examine the effect of sound-hole geometery on acoustics. This is the "K1". This one is the K3. Here's a look at the internal, integral bracing in the back. The inside of the K1 front The inside of the K3 front A look at the actual K1, freshly machined, with lots of sanding to come. Maple front, mahogany back, EIR binding. And here's the K3 With any luck, I hope to have them both completely finished and singing in 2 to 3 weeks. Stay tuned. Thanks for taking a look! Jeff KOZMguitars |

That looks like it would be so easy to sit and play! Hope you'll update when done, and maybe post some sound clips.
By the way, I am really liking the red AW6-3 on your site!! Looks like it would very comfortable to play. Beautiful designs!!

It's like an Adrian Legg style guitar. The closed leg position would kind of weird, but, I could imagine plenty of folks with different physical circumstances that would benefit from that body style.

Very cool designs--especially like the K3 design. Looking forward to seeing them finished and your impressions of the differences. Just curious--did you use SketchUp to create the drawings and 3D models?

VisualCAM for the tool paths. Elbow grease for the sanding. |

Amazing designs! I'm already picturing an all-maple K1

I'm seriously liking the electrics...the red AW6 is calling, but then again adding a Mutated Tele would be awesome...
How about a BackBender with split coils and a Piezo? That would be fun! Hey Jeff, any chance of an AGF special sale?!!
