Millimetric MG6

That's the thing with design: one pushes the envelope to move things forward, sometimes to the detriment of usability.

I wonder if it's not the case with this MG6 by Millimetric:

This was the first model issued by this canadian company.

"This was inspired buy the work of Travis Bean and Obstructures translated to wood. 
Made to be ambidextrous, left handed players can have a guitar that looks right. This guitar was made seeking efficiency in sound and playing. The tone lies in the neck construction and pickups as well as in the use of maple. The MG6 sound is similar to the guitars in the 90's Chicago noise rock scene, such as Shellac, Jesus lizard, etc. This guitar will provide you sustain, large frequency response and the punch and clarity you need."

I get it, but this would be more suitable to shovel snow than playing riffs, no?

 

Nevertheless, the idea of a double-cut for ambidextrous playability makes a lot of sense.

Hell, Jimi Hendrix sometimes played a Gibson SG for that exact reason.

The Travis Bean influence is evident in the headstock:

So, as much as I appreciate the ingenious design, I wouldn't fork out the required 2.700 USD to get one.
