DESCRIPTION:
Here we have a stunning copper-finished SD-22.

Sinuous Guitars was not interested in designing and building another knock-off guitar; they felt the world didn't need any more of those. Instead, they approached this with a process that Charles Eames help develop 50 years ago in the furniture industry and, in the end, they feel they have a guitar that has a very sculptural form with a comforting feel and performs like something defined as an "instrument" should perform. The true difference is in how the guitar body conforms to your body. It gets rid of that feeling of playing a plank of wood and feels very natural. Some guitar manufacturers try solving this by cutting out the backs of guitars for comfort, but you can only cut so deep because it is a flat board. The process Sinuous uses allows the bending of the solid wood body into a shape that hugs your body and also rolls away where you do not want it to hit you, all while keeping the guitar thin and without unwanted weight. And the process is repeatable at an affordable price.

The design process for Sinuous Guitars comprises a blend of computer meets handcrafted, manufactured meets old school, utilitarian meets high design. Through ergonomics Sinuous strives feel to create an intimate relationship between the player and the instrument; creating something special and truly authentic is their continual goal.

[Guitar Heel]

I like that quite a bit.

 

[jelloman]

Less objectionable than most of the D.A.G. offerings...

 

[Mark Wein]

I think its kinda neat for what it is. I wonder what it sounds like though.

 

[Coralkong]

Nifty.

 

[Gorgon90]

Intrigued by the engineering approach and it isn't abhorrent. I'd certainly try it.

 

[IamSeaDevil]

Does it smell like a copper penny?

 

[Chad]

pass

 

[baimun]

I'd give it a whirl.

 

[Tig]

I like the copper body.

 

[PunkKitty]

Meh

 

[Tweedledee]

I like this one. The body shape strikes a nice balance between new and classic and the contours look quite comfortable. The finish isn't my favorite, but not too bad. I like the simplicity of the design. And the price actually isn't all that bad compared to most of these types of offerings.

 

[bsman]

Sort of reminds me of the Yamaha RGX A2 (something I still kick myself for not getting when they were getting blown out). I like the curves!

 

[CBHScott]

I like that a lot, and would be interested in trying one.

Much props for the ad copy as well - explains the design motivation without sounding like they're curing every deadly disease on the planet.

 

[grover]

Looks quite elegant to me... Gotta ask... does it play heavy metal? :trollface:

 

[Modern Saint]

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I'd rock the shit outta that.

 

[Denverdave]

I like the looks and the pricing. It is one of those guitars you would definitely need to play a bit before you make up your mind to buy it though. The different body contours won't work for everyone.

 

[Stratguy]

I would definitely pick that up and play it. The going home with me part would all depend on the feel and tone.

 

[GilmourD]

I'm kinda bored by the color scheme...
