konradk -> Guitar Ergonomics (Jan. 26 2010 3:28:53)

Does anyone know of a Luthier that takes into account the following considerations of the Guitar Player when when designing/building a guitar ... Body type .. thin, medium, heavy Shoulder width .. narrow, average, broad Arms .. long, medium short Hand width .. narrow, average, broad Finger length .. short, average, long I'm sure there may also be other things I've forgotten But I believe that if you are going to get a custom made guitar and spend $$$$$$$ it might as well be designed/built for you since if you buy a "standard" guitar and happen to be a midget or a giant you will surely injure yourself trying to rip rasgueos You'll end up having to see therapists and doctors if you insist on playing an instrument that does not match your body type ... But then again, perhaps chronic pain is necessary to evoke duende and explete a perfect jaleo .. :)
