That wouldn't be any better than a Sheraton?

Indeed but a chambered Jet like a Pro Jet or Duo Jet might be good, or one of the Anniversary junior hollow Gretches, whatever they're called. 

The anniversary Jr's aren't cheap or any of the professional series Jr's for that matter.
But the streamliner Jr's are decent n cheap

No Streamliner Juniors for us lefties unfortunately, not Coupe Casino/339's either.  I think that thinline teles may be the only cheap, small semi-hollow option for lefties.

Is this thread really happening, or have I moved into a parallel universe...?

Thing I love about this is even after 30 years, someone felt the need to make a guitar for Sigue Sigue Sputnik...

Voxman

This one - to cut down on your energy expenditure it even has a short neck and only 4 strings so that you don't strain yourself.

I wouldn't know whether to sit on it, heat food up on it or try and have sex with it. Very confusing

A Danelectro. Compact, very light and quite loud unplugged.

Ravenous

Option 1: Bo Diddley guitar.

Option 2: cheap Steinberger copy (I have a Hohner G3T which can be played like this.)

Option 3: put it flat on your lap and play Jeff Healey style. (Warning - don't watch him for too long, he's somewhat intimidating)

Option 4: Buy a cheap Kantele (only half joking, as I sort of fancy one.)

Sassafras

These are great for playing in bed just after you've had your morning cup of coffee.
Tiny, built in amp and they sound quite good.

Possibly the most niche guitar enquiry thread ever

Sporky

From experience, don't try to do all three at the same time.

sweepy

Strandberg, ideal for horizontal playing

 I guess maybe a thin line tele might be good.

That would be my suggestion, but I've got one as my No.1 guitar so I'm slightly biased.

Wow great ideas here - all these quirky little guitars could be more useful than I realised.

Nice original suggestions here!  Maybe these quirky designs are more useful than I gave them credit for....
