I'll name that tune in three!

Interesting. Can't say I'd bring it to a gig in Voodoo though

Thats a cool guitar

feylya · 20-09-2004 3:46pm

I'd say it took a while to carve too!

Karl Hungus · 20-09-2004 6:02pm

Why only one pickup though?

I really would love to play something like that though, could be very cool indeed, especially to see what the hell the fretless 7th string is like. Very interesting indeed man!

In all fairness, where could you put another pickup while maintaining the 25.5" scale length?

Karl Hungus · 20-09-2004 6:16pm

Well, if the body was slightly different... I mean, I'm sure when whoever carved it, they had a pretty good layout. I dunno.

The only way to get another pickup in there is to go to single coils and loose a couple of frets.

It looks like something Uli Roth would play

looks like fun but not the sort of thing that would be of much use to me

ferdi · 21-09-2004 11:05am

interesting but probably sounds crap enough

Is it actually wood ?? The same effect could be gotten from a resin mould and paint it up like wood.

You could get a roadie to hold a pick up in front of the strings while you play

Never mind fretless, that low B (I'm presuming) string looks like it's actually fret-BOARD less!

The neck doesn't seem to extend wide enough to accomodate the extra string. Or at least it looks that way in that photo...

Interesting guitar. Although I'd think I'd feel a bit ridiculous with a monstrous ornate dragon head gaping alongside my crotch. But different strokes for different folks, I guess

Yeah but think of the chicks you'd get

WetDaddy · 23-09-2004 9:53am

True Dr. J, but I think they'd be limited to a serpent girl / gigantism sufferer hybrid...

Mo Mowlam, so.

Altogether now: "Oooooh...!"
