This guy gives a whole new meaning to 'timeless'...and 'shapeless'...

He's not harmless if you're a tree...or a guitar player who likes trees...

Let's not talk about car design, or I'm liable to start going off the rails...

Didn't think so...

There were a number of those flip-over acoustics at NAMM. They are not meant as serious instruments, though. And their value as demos is debatable, too.

Aha.... that one looks kind of familiar, and just too funny!

Isn't that one of the "Emperor's" creations?

Nope. It is an answer to the automatic bass we saw a couple of weeks ago.

The Emperor is working on a "Burning Cross" 12-string, I hear, but it keeps setting his armpits on fire...
