WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO KEYBOARDS
and drums, no musical instrument has
inspired muscle-car-esque worship like the
guitar. And that was
before
Greg Opatik of
Sinuous Guitars got his hands on one. To
create his latest opus, the Kendall College–
educated designer and lifelong guitar player
added a delicate front-to-back twist that
gives the body of the instrument a line as
curvaceous as ribbon candy. Even better,
ergonomically speaking, the guitar wraps
itself around the hip of whoever wields it
onstage—like a particularly musical snake.
