Weird guitar of the day that someone somewhere probably loves but I don't personally to be honest

JerkMoans

Reminds me of the top end weapons in Skyrim

DiscoStu

It's like a pretzel had sex with a curly-wurly.

Looks like the fly I swatted earlier.

Somewhere in the back of my head I have the idea that Roland said that bar was a system to stop any dead points on the neck ( important in terms of even triggering of synth notes I guess). I have no idea if it actually makes any difference in that regard ( or even how that would work, come to think of it).

Correct. However, my G-303 and G-808 controllers tracked far better than any of my G-707’s ever did, so that was a load of b*ll*cks.

The guitar above looks like the kind of thing a tw*tty 13-year-old metalhead would draw on the cover of their maths exercise book with more enthusiasm than ability. Hideous and impractical.

Correct in every respect.

Is it something I’d pay money for to play for my own satisfaction? Absolutely not.

If I was still in a working rock covers band would I snap it up[1], strap it to my sad, slightly overweight, late-50s frame and at least try to gig it? Damn Right I would!!!

I like to see people trying stuff out however out there and more artful than practical etc, but can't the image of out my head now, if you stood it on end it looks like a wood creature waving his arms, with a big ol' nutsack ... : )

Well it has to be at least b, if not c.

@JerkMoans - glad it wasn’t just me thinking of video game weapons, although it looks to me like something one of the Covenant would drop in Halo.

Either way it’s a funny looking guitar to make us think of these things.
