Headless anyone?

Always happy to feature my only guitar with its own webpage (as always , thanx to @pima1234 for the opportunity to score this from him , and to Mr. Sankey for keeping it posted for so many years….)

Extraordinary stuff, seriously amazing and wonderful.

What does he mean about 3D printing with metals? I though 3D printing meant depositing fine droplets of plastic-ish stuff, built up into layers.
 
I'm one that usually doesn't let headstock aesthetics bother me, but not having one messes with me. Some get rave reviews, I'm sure there are some great playing models and players seem to find them very comfortable, but the lack of a headstock really tweaks me.

Thanks. Found the Dyna-Mix9 also for the HSS one. Hopefully these stick around for a while until the toy budget recovers from the Mac Studio purchase, as I could see a spot for both the HSS and the HH one in my arsenal....

Same as the ibanez AZ. It's a smart switching (every position sits in the mix differently) and I'm glad in the latest run they are going for stainless steel frets

Ibanez guitars are mostly a mystery to me. Only ever owned one, an '80s HH Roadstar? (I think that was the model name) that disappeared the night Jimmy Eat World opened for us at the Sail Inn in Tempe back in the '90s, just before they hit big. Probably got nicked by someone in the crowd, or possibly mixed in with their stuff by accident. I also tried a lawsuit Ibanez Explorer in '84 or so. It played wonderfully, but, sadly, decided to get the boat-anchor Elite Strat instead....

Don’t like the look or does it throw you off visually when playing?
Here’s a quick headstock to make you feel better

i had this made by keith bennion in liverpool some time around 1999/2000. it's crazy light and resonant. i've played it pretty much every day. i had him make me another one with an internal GK kit and a sustainiac. that was a great guitar too, but the body was thicker to accommodate the electronics and it wasn't quite as resonant. i sold that one some years ago. i recently purchased a legator headless 8 string (no pics yet), but i don't know if i'll stick with it, i think i prefer baritones.

Here is my last remaining Forshage Orion. I've been able to own 5 over the years, each one was excellent. This is the custom one I worked on with Chris years ago. Solid ash body, amazing neck, Throbak Peter Greens w/ BK Irish Tour single, J Custom trem, nice switching options. Comes in a little over 7 lbs. Just a great guitar. I have it up on Reverb, but won't be sad to keep it if it doesn't sell.

And yes, I am well aware that the unusual shape is a turn-off for many people. I promise that, if you are a neck-up player, the position is worth it. Kleins are rare item now, and Chris is still building these, and doing some absolutely incredible work. He puts up videos on YT of most of his builds.
