Does anyone have any pics of those Egyptian-themed monstrosities? And that "SOLD" (riiiiight!) white and gold Minarik?

Which raises the question, "Just because it is possible to do something, does it really need to be done?"

I would imagine that finding the correct string length for one of those guitars would cause quite a problem in a last minute quest to purchase new strings. All the info on his web site seems to be quite inovative but I doubt if the guitar world is ready for the "new look" or this model. I like his continuously adjustable neck idea but I'm not a fan(no pun intended) of the string anchoring technique he has come up with. It ruins the look of the instrument IMHO.

He has had a good deal of success, it seems. The odd look, backed by the rationale, seems to have attracted a number of customers.
I heard one at NAMM and there was nothing "different" that I could detect.
