Headless guitar luthier?

[rustyair]

Hello,

Are there any headless guitar luthiers other than forsage, canton and rick toone?
I'm looking for a klein shape looking guitar which is better for my back.

Thanks,

I don't think they could still make instruments if they had no head...

What's wrong with the choices you listed?

Dr Strandberg makes beautiful instruments. And the fact that he created his own hardware so you can get pretty much any scale.

The legend of the headless guitar luthier -he goes running around at night throwing flaming busted Gibson headstocks at people.

Saul Koll has been known to do one on occasion.

Luthier. I'm looking for a luthier who could build me a 7 string klein shape hollowbody.

I don't think any of them will have problems with that build.

These 2 guys know a bit about 7&8 strings

Chris Stambaugh built me a great guitar and at one point we talked about him making me a Klein style headless guitar and he was open to the idea and said he had made headless basses before. He is a great luthier with reasonable prices but that means he has a long wait. Anywhere from 6 months to a year.

Carvin is building a headless guitar but it is not Klein style. Still cool looking though.

To the OP:

The guys you mention in your first post are the first choices for 7-string Klein influenced guitars.
There are other headless builders which favor their own models and are less open to custom builds.
