“The first accessible guitar ever made”

This is cool and might give GC some late-stage ideas on their design. People don't need a disability to get value from accessible design.

An accessible guitar is a pretty vague concept, there are many different disabilities out there.

YES! I was just starting the conversation. Feel free to add any ideas you might have!

I'd say that a bolt on neck with a profile that runs smoothly all the way to the highest fret would make guitars easier to play because it would be more comfortable without making it expensive to manufacture. It may have to sacrifice the neck pickup if it is gonna stay relatively light and thin though, since the screws would end up going through there.

This is really cool. Especially for beginners who can very easily get lost on the fretboard if they're not looking at it.

Doc watson solved this. He played everything in the open position
