Most Abstract Body Shapes Available Headless

 Solid Neck Through Body PB1 Bass

This guitar is actually Headless !!!
The headstock is there for purely decorative phallic purposes.

Ed Roman first got the idea to offer Abstract as a headless model with the birth of the Floyd Rose Speedloader. In fact the first headless Abstract was a solid one piece neck through small travel guitar. Loosely based on the Steinberger GL or paddle model.

This awesome guitar was requested by one of the most important  influential guitarists of the 20th century. I cannot mention names because he is always under contract with some major company who control what he plays publicly. In any case he was adamant that the guitar be made from one solid piece of Korina wood, The guitar had to have an oil finish, No paint to choke any of the tone.

He requested a Steinberger Trans Tremolo with 2 solidly mounted pickups that we had spent several years developing with one of his sound technicians.  I am pretty confident that if we did this guitar for him today he would probably request a Speedloader instead of a Trans Trem but back in 1999 the Trans Trem was the only high quality game in town.

Some models don't look good as headless,  Either aesthetically or because the body is too big.  We are toying with the idea right now of a screw on headstock that could be replaced by other shapes.

Headless Guitars offer amazing portability & stability. The fact that the neck is shorter adds to the strength characteristics of the guitar, I have never seen a headless guitar break a neck. This also is a good thing for a travel guitar. There are probably 25 companies out there that have offered a headless instrument. We pride ourselves in carrying all of the ones that are worth carrying today.
