And what about cases?

I reckon I could manage the first two in Photoshop but the third!!!! As for the accordion, I bet that would burn for ages!

rekon you'd remember those shadows inbetween the necks of the instruments?

With those long necks you could find every note on a single string! With proper tuning of that 8-neck Guitar you could play 3 chords in 8 keys without a capo! Ain't technology wunnerful?

Where do you get strings for those things?

I wonder if Calton makes a case for those?

In answer to your original quesiton, I would post these under the c-bomb group: Citterns, Bouzoukis (Zouks), Octaves, Dolas, Mandocellos, Digeridoos, Mouth Harps, Bedpanjos, Quadruple Octave Mandolins, and Bass from Space.

:disbelief: You really should have posted it in the octopusses (octopi??) forum.

Actually, those guitars only have a 25" scale length, they've just got reeeeeally skinny necks.

That's exactly why I don't use wall mount hangers for my instruments! They stretch the neck out a little too much for me!

Has anyone actually attempted to play some of these? I know the longnecks are probably impossible, but the multi-necked ones?

Do the anti-capo brigade still say they should never be used?
Darren Bailey

Forget the reach, think of the strength in your fingers! To play those things you could type from the other side of the room.

These look like something Rick Nielsen from cheap trick would have made for him.

A good argument for not using rubber necks...

I am not a gambling man, but I would wager these are all created with a photo, a computer and some photo manipulation software.

They aren't photoshopped; they appear to be part of an art exhibit of some kind (you can see in the multi-guitar photo that they have plaques on the wall wherever these instruments are). They all appear functional, which makes me wonder if anyone has attempted to play them.

Along with Bozzio's drum tech...

Ker cHing. I left the plaques there as a clue it was tempting to post this one instead.
