I like the classical violin and its beautiful shape, but I also like evolution and modernism in the world around me. One of the great things about the creations of electric violin makers is their total lack of conventions. Whereas the electric guitar world is dominated by shapes designed a few decades ago, which many guitar makers seem to copy again and again, the electric violin makers of this world at least try to be original. Is it the classic imago of the violin that pushes violinists seeking for an alternative towards the more drastic avant-garde shape? Or are the violin makers more eager to experiment and create something original than the electric guitar makers of this world? It seems that the only true limits that luthiers making electric violins are bound to, are the physical requirements of the violin player: a shoulder rest, some positional reference for the left hand, the conventional distances of strings and fingerboard. Nice!
