I saw this on Pinterest, don't know anything about it.  Looks weird though.

    I like it. Lovely colour :).

    Absolutely not for me, but it shows there's more to the electric guitar than a Strat or a Les Paul.

    Looks extremely well-made too.

    Looks like a Novax.

    Check out Charlie Hunter for what can be done with a similar design.
    When you hear guitar & bass together- it is just him.

    In fact....

    Either of you guys know what this actually is?

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Good grief!  I have enough trouble playing guitar and bass separately!

    Charlie Hunter also played on 'Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy'.
    Amazing album.

    I was hoping there was some info, quite often at Pinterest after you click a pic to enlarge it you can click it again and go to a website that has some relevance to it but this one just went to an even more enlarged pic.  How many builders out there use the staggered frets/tailpiece design this one has, I'm betting(hoping) there's not many.  That guitar Charlie Hunter is playing is similar in enough ways that I would be surprised if it wasn't the same builder.  He is talented, not my thing but I can appreciate the skill.

    bastard... i have been talking about making a fanned fret 9-string like this for ages... really should pull my finger out.   of course, i won't be goign for the daft pickup options.   but its good to know my idea of using 2 strings per ABM bridge will work ok


    my first thought was also novax but i don't think it is one, clearly strongly influenced by novax anyway

    Had he gone to a pickup maker he could have had split pickups that would do all that those (yurghhh) units do ... but in a nice package. Jeez that's a horrible lashup in the PU department. Like the twisty fanny thing mind ...
