This guitar is the one that started me down my current design path. I really get a kick out of the banjo tuners (he has played full tunes by flipping the tuners and rarely touching the fingerboard):
Basically a headstock-based Trilogy but with only two settings per string. The fine tuners from a child's guitar are also an interesting addition. If you watch the later videos (there's more out there), it seems he had the guitar made about an inch or two too short -- He now puts a little pillow under the guitar.

The Forshage guitars shown on Building the Ergonomic Guitar Blog are also something else, and the Rick Canton "prototypes" are also very interesting. That said, I wish Tim Diebert was still making guitars, I'd love to have something like that 7-string Baritone T4-s he made.
