that's photo shopped the pickup is where the bridge should be and the two middle strings disappear over the bridge pickup. the bridge has a stop bar and no saddles.

 

[Jusatele]

I am trying to tell from the pics if it has a body attached to the back of the shovel, or is that a shadow

 

[hachikid]

that's a photoshop

Could be, now that I look at the pic of the guy playing, it looks askew... :toothy11:

Cool concept tho..

 

[Dan025]

I am reminded of the Jokercaster thread.  That was fun.

That's cool.  Having seen some hallmark guitars in the flesh (and in photos) I always though they were cool in kinda an old-fogey way.  That is, your granddad's idea about what would be cool for the young kids to have. 

Still think it's cool though.

 

[Neo Fender]

All of the "strings" are the same gauge... :icon_scratch:

Is it real?  looks kinda airbrushed...

Yip it's real...

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Yeah, that doesn't look airbrushed or photoshopped at all.  :icon_jokercolor:

LOL! Oh, that's too much fun!

The shovel guitar shows you how much body and neck wood mean, and the tractor shows you how much sentience a drummer needs <grin>

I kid, of course, Dollars to donuts that was either an ash or hickory neck on that shovel, and Neil Peart is certainly sentient.

He has a better tone than most metal guitarists I've heard.
