Holey moley, Aitch...you've hit the Mother Lode! Just a couple of questions/observations concerning the first perpetrator in your lineup:

1) There's a decided lack of electronics/controls, from what I'm able to make out. Does this, coupled with the 'f' holes, mean that this is an acoustic guitar?

2) Nice placement on the upper strap button...so convenient and ergonomic.

3) The fret spacing on that third octave looks a little tight...a bit of a challenge for even the most accomplished player. Good thing the lower cutaway provides ample access, though...

4) Beautifully asymmetrical cutout below the bridge...makes my heart 'sore'...

That baby must have taken a lot of care and diligence to produce...well, maybe just diligence...

The knobs on the mermaid aren't located correctly.

Strap this puppy on, and grow a couple of extra hands.

It slices, it dices, it's a bed, it's a chair, it grows hair...

That Pat Metheny special has already been sliced, diced ad slept and sat upon in another recent thread...

Geez.... Just catching up on my "essential" reading after a long busy day and saw the monstrosities Aitch posted on the previous page, and nearly split my side laughing.... But I hope those pictures don't give me bad dreams! LOL...

Aitch - My wife walked by yesterday while I was looking at that first pic and she said it looked like I'd smashed a big bug on my Mac screen.

Gerry: Be careful. You know where that 'nasty Australian' stuff will take this thread!
