Many of us find it less intimidating to start with a kit for our first attempts at making a guitar. There are some excellent kits available, but be aware that even with prepared parts, it's important to pay close attention to the assembly instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWS9-RyZZz4 |

I was curious how that reverse guitar might be braced and, in the process, found that the player in the video actually made the prototype from a guitar kit. He was motivated to try this by pain in his right shoulder. Then luthier Herve Lahoun built a second prototype from scratch for him. I don't know if the one on the video is a prototype or a later one. I also found this photo on Herve Lahoun's instagram page and it looks like it could be the rims of a reverse guitar. Unfortunately, I didn't find any photo of the top bracing. Attachment: Herve Lahoun reverse guitar inside.jpg

While I generally eschew weird just to be weird, that’s kinda cool… |

It sounds like a guitar but it reminds me too much of the dorky upside down Gibson bridges

Seems like there could be some ergonomic advantages. The large bout on the right knee doesn't need a footstool to elevate the knee, nor a support. But the small lower bout doesn't provide a place to rest the right forearm. Reminds me of this post from R M Mottola: https://luthiersforum.com/forum/search.php?keywords=amateurs&terms=all&author=rmmottola&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search |
