Basically, it's a Warr guitar . . . but not.

Not really, think of it as a double neck with no space between the necks!

no flats?

And no, the neck is not too wide. It's actually very comfortable; it's thinner than most bass necks. I really wouldn't recommend anyone with very short fingers trying to play it, though. It is a little bit of a stretch across to the bass side.
Um, yeah, "thinner than most bass necks?" What the heck has he been playing, a Conklin?

LOL!
But a stick has the same neck along all the body...
The lack of bass frets above the 14th fret seems pretty limiting IMO...

When you think about it, it's actually a very logical design.
Ugly as sin, however.

Logical... im not so sure. I mean i think it would look good on paper. But i mean... how are you going to get to the low E? I mean really.... are you going to be able to play anything on there. You may be able to hit the root note... not much more. At least thats what id think.

Course it's logical.
And per your points, depends on how good-a player you are.

Looks a little like my Bunker Touch Guitar:
And naturally, I haven't learned to play it!
BTW, there is a US patent for a guitar similar to the one previously referred to. I'll see whether I can find it when I get a chance.
