Lets get down to basics.

Les Paul created an electric guitar made from a log of wood. A stick of wood with strings and a pickup.

Here we are now today, constantly stating our preferences of the various body shapes and transformations of the guitar that appeal to us on a personal comfort level.

No matter how you look at it the electric guitar is still a narrow stick of wood with strings.

Like this? My bride has one of these.

Then…. My Mother in Law had one of these. Always thought slapping some sort of pickup on this and running it thru pedals and amp would be awesome. Maybe that’s a project???

Haha!

I don’t think I'd ever be capable of playing one of those stick guitars using both hands to tap and fret up and down the fretboard.

I can play a bit of piano with my right hand, but my left hand always goes limp.

I can’t even operate a screw driver with my left hand. Totally blows me away I learned to fret a guitar with my left hand.

Fretting a guitar is easier than turning a screw driver.

With that premise…. I should be playing like EVH.
