77 Awesomely Weird Guitars

Some of them are in the list 4 times!

anyway, I have seen at least 2 warmoths in there!
 
the plane, and the 2 before that.
there is also a queensryche copy in the "miscellaneous" section, while the one in the list is probably an original one.(ESP?)
 
I see Steve Vai's triple neck heart guitar, the triple neck JEM, and the Ultra Zone guitar. :icon_biggrin:
Also, Pat Metheny's Picasso, and Michael Angelo Batio's doubleneck.

Oh God! The Wangcaster is back. :sad:

The guitar boat was cool. :icon_thumright:

Love the Sega Megadrive guitar (or "Sega Genesis" for you foreign dogs). The folding guitar is an actual production model, made in Sweden!

i didn't see a sega guitar but there is a nintendo "NES" guitar shown 3 times..
 
Is that a separate volume control for each "neck"  going to a single output on the 12 neck? ???

With 500K pots, depending on how far the actual value wanders from the rated value, (+/- 20% tolerances are common.) twelve volumes all running parallel is a 41.66K resistance to ground, which would pretty much kill all the treble and output with high impedance pickups.
OTOH, with 1M pots, that would be 83.33K, which is about the same as a passive bass wired with a 250K volume and a 250K blend. Perhaps 1M pots would work, but I would be concerned still with the functionality of the setup.
The taper of the volume sweeps would probably be all to hell as well.

I'm very curious how they managed to wire it up?
That is, provided it's a real guitar.
 
I think it might actually be real. The headstocks have slightly different hues and shadows, the vibrato arms are all at slightly different angles etc... Doesn't stop it from being completely pointless though :icon_thumright:

I noticed that as well.
Could be real.

I hope they have the tremolo springs dampened so they don't make noise when you hit the body.  :sad:
Tapping on the body has got to sound like tripping over a reverb spring tank. :sad:

it could be active, or it could have a kill switch on each neck, or they can be no load pots, at 10 it clicks and opens the circuit.

If indeed it is real, it's got one helluva pickguard.... :dontknow:
