What a hideous beast . . . just for fun I might pitch it off the Talahatchie bridge! |

I would use a 3/4" brass pipe,about 11" in length with the threads cut off on both ends.
Didn't Eddie Alkire build a 20 stringer?

Nah! you wouldn't need a bar at all- tune it to a chromatic scale and play it as a HARP.

I think you'd need a very well-stocked bar to even consider playing it!! The more you drink the better it sounds is my guess. |

Just when you think you've seen everything, this comes along. I think it is simply a triple neck ( laid out flat. It would take awhile to get used to, but certainly not an impossibility. Remember those early National double necks that were on the same level before they raised the far neck ? All this guy did was to space all the necks adjacent to each other IMHO. |

I have half a mind to bid on this guy. Fortunately the other half of my mind says "no way".

I have a picture somewhere that has a Gibson EH-150 built similar way, if I remember correctly it's 7+6... It's in Guitar Player magazine, I'll dig it from my "archives"...
