Looks a) unplayable and b) like a fake photo (not very well faked). Anfd If it's meant to be a joke, it isn't funny...

At first glance - I thought I was seeing a BASS RESONATOR. That would be something !

I like volume control knob location, a second arm length's away from the first to the strings.
Could maybe reach around and do volume swells with your foot.

Also, if you thought dropping a pick into the soundhole of an acoustic guitar was annoying...

I clicked on the link. The guy wrote something like if if doesn’t find a new home the parts will be removed an it will go into the fireplace.

Sounds about right…

Spider or Biscuit? If it's a spider in that size my wife won't come into the same room - hence my interest.

The chap who is a regular contributor to another forum is genuine, if he has an idea he executes it, where as most of us just mull it over. Lets not forget Chitty Bang Bang came out of an English windmill (I have been there as well) so eccentric guitars are not unusal as tom jones once sang....
