And there was me thinking that a guitar had six strings and made a sound lol.

Me also. Would just add the 12 string. Then that dragon shows up with seven strings on it.

In the bad for playing category.

I think ZZ Top used "fuzzy" guitars for awhile. I think they would just make my forearm itch.

Not as disruptive as i would have guessed having the strings in a little groove where they are compressing down the fuzz.

How about Kirk Hammett's ESP wave-caster? It's hollow with some blue liquid inside. It's featured at about the 2:35min mark on this youtube video.

That is pretty nice

Man, watching that video just makes me drool. Imagine having that many guitars, and a guy who spends all days polishing them

That is nice, but I still prefer his ESP M-II with the Boris Karloff mummy graphic on it. He's mentioned in interviews that this is his favorite as well.

I wish he and the rest of the band would finish their latest album so they can start touring in the States again. =]

that is so cool man i want one of those blue liquid guitar, i can't believe they have specific guitars just to smash

 

[Jeremi]

All of his guitars are pretty cool. Love the Spider and the Ouija. James Hetfield have pretty cool guitars as well. I love the Ken Lawrence Explorer

Here's a link to the ESP Kirk Hammet signature series...EMG pickups and Floyd Rose bridges on every one (except the 202 for some reason)...

Nice. Although I'd be afraid I'd trip and impale myself on it.

I always thought cigar box guitars were interesting. -

Mainly popular during the Great Depression when few people were able to afford real instruments. If you had a cigar box, a broom handle and some bailing wire you could generally come up with something to play.

There still seems to be some interest in them. -

It seems that some never forgot their days of playing a cigar box guitar.

That escapes the world of "cigar box guitar" and enters the world of "awesome".


This stupid looking thing was built for Mark Kendall of Great White. -

"You're gonna need a bigger boat." durr...


Van Halen logo guitar. -

I think there's a guitar in there somewhere.


I really don't need to say anything about this. -

If you can't come up with a cigar box then there is always the Diddley Bow.

That looks a bit easier to build. I'm guessing with one string I won't be doing anything terribly complicated.

I know that one really does look like one of those desktop "wave machines" but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was a lava lamp.

These are my favorites. I can't play, but I do love the artwork involved.

This is a bass that a guy in a Trans Am group I belong to did. Not as much work involved, but it was a work of love. He chose the colors to match his car and had the pick guard made to match his dash bezel. He even used radio knobs out of the same kind of car for it.
