The Model I1 Electric Guitar
made to be played
We sought out to make a unique object, but also a fine playable musical instrument. Feedback from dozens of real players was put into the design.
Above all the instrument is balanced – the weight sits between the strap points and the neck doesn’t want to fall over like with other “stick” guitars.
Each guitar includes:
– 22 fret neck on a full 25.5″ scale
– Dual-action truss rod
– 42 mm locking nut
– Bridge tuner with integrated winder tool
– Dual humbucker pickups
– Pickup selector (bridge-neck-both)
– Tone control
– Volume control
– Strap buttons
The highly modular design is easily customizable for a fully stripped-down look.
The component dimensions on the I1 are not arbitrary.
Every part fills a specific purpose usually filled, well or badly, by a solid guitar body.
Players of any style should appreciate the shapes, seated or standing, without a lot of extra weight to move around.
Another advantage of the thin-and-light body design is that the air pockets and thin members bring the instrument back to semi-hollow-body levels of tone and control.
