For the guitarist who has (almost) everything...

Rick Metz's Les Paul chair

This isn't really related specifically to jazz or St. Louis - I just thought it was kind of cool.

Rick Metz, a furniture designer in Cincinnati, Ohio, is custom-building chairs that resemble electric guitars. The photo shows one that's based on the design of a Gibson Les Paul, but he's made others, too.At $375, it's an expensive chair, but it would make a nice addition to a studio or music room. Just imagine the recursive possibilities of playing guitar while sitting in a chair shaped like a guitar....
