Some good pics & info here:

Trying to get my head around how this works - how string height can stay constant along a neck that presumably has a degree of curvature. It's making my head hurt!

Engineering aside - I would be fascinated to try one.

If the Neck could be twisted about an axis that was (notionally) a string at a reasonable height above the 'board along its length... That might work, but well done to them for crafting it to that degree of accuracy!

Thought I'd join the conversation, gents - It's the real deal. Here is a custom design Jerome Little did for Xavier Padilla - [url="http://buildingtheergonomicguitar.com/2006/10/xavier-padillas-custom-electric-bass.html"]Padilla Custom Torzal Bass Guitar[/url].

You can see Padilla playing it here with the Gipsy Kings: [url="http://buildingtheergonomicguitar.com/2007/05/padilla-solos-on-his-little-guitar-works-torzal-bass-guitar.html"]Padilla bass solo[/url].
