Choppy Waters? Wasn't he that guitarist who insisted on at least three solos in every song? Last I heard he was doing a five stretch for being in possession of an offensive instrument in a public place.
Of course, with left hand stringing it has become a reverse P with the associated tonal differences due to the E and A poles being nearer the bridge than the D and G poles.
It's certainly unique. I'm betting that it suffers from neck dive somewhat.
Thanks for sharing. Not everyone has the workshop space, tools or skills to make a masterpiece. If it makes the noise you want however, who's going to criticise it?
I'd imagine it's to add triangulation to the structure thereby stiffening it. I wouldn't have thought distortion of the floor structure was a problem though.
