Thanks JB! Now that you mention it, continuing this series here with a polarizing one just cuz it's such a weirdo (probably the biggest oddball in the collection), but it's actually one of my absolute favorites and one hell of an ergonomic instrument.

This is a B-Way Mercury model - mahogany body, killer flame top, dark roasted maple neck and fretboard, Hipshot hardware, and a pair of Q pickups P90s.

Very attractive. Looks functional but nice. seems ergo for some reason although I cant say why. Except the rev headstock. Cool or not it is the opposite of ergonomic to me.
It is incredibly ergonomic, actually that was the whole point behind the creation of the guitar according to the designer who I had a really great chat with over on TGP :). It's the most ergonomic guitar I own that still has a headstock (the Kiesel Vaders are more ergonomic, but of course them being headless is a huge part of that), and one of the best sounding.

There were only a couple made, the designer still has one (a plainer version currently for sale), I have one, and Walter Becker from Steely Dan had one.

I can't say that I would've paid the $3500 new price, but then again I wouldn't shell out that much for any guitar. For the ridiculous price I paid though, it is a stunning instrument.

[mention]nomadh[/mention] here's a quick clip of it...this is old so unfortunately it was just recorded with my cell before I got all my recording equipment, so ignore the quality and turn your volume up since it's quiet.
