    Not Only Is This Odd, It Looks Bizarrely Un-Playable

    Found this while researching another topic. This "guitar" probably weighs as much as a refrigerator, and is equally attractive.

    LINK: Guitar Bass

    Portland luthier David Minnieweather created the Guitar Bass for John Woolley from a design that John had sketched out on paper. Neck-through body, 9 piece flamed maple and purple heart neck. The core body wood is african white wood, with a mouth-watering flamed tasmanian black wood top and back. The bass fretboard is palisander, the guitar fretboard is ebony. The bass scale length is 34 inches, and the guitar scale lenth is 25 1/2 inches. The bass side has 14 frets, and the guitar side has 22 frets.

      Interesting.... To play the bass half, you'd have to play it Sarzo style (overhand) . I kinda dig the body shape.
      Still ,by far, a better looking instrument than this moron's "creation"...
      Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

              I vaguely recall seeing a Youtube clip of some hopelessly talent-free goober butchering a SRV tune with that very guitar.

                  Serious shit. As crazy as they are, you can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship and detail someone put into crafting these things. Many many hours of labor. You really have to love woodworking to create like that.

                      It's the name that killed me, 'Romeo Rose'.

                      Bet his real name is something like Bertie Smudger.

                          Close, it's Larry Busby. This guy deserves a thread of his own, as it
                          seems he has something of a reputation. Check these out:

                              That guy, Busby is a troll in the lowest form. He was banned from a few Rhoads forums for being a piece of shit.
                              He is an inbred, mouthbreather from West Virginia.....
