Hey Mike, I'd be scared to put fast fret on that thing!
By the way, what is the scale "length" on that Wang Twang ?

That'd be a good axe to play on the "Dong" show, excuse me Gong Show.

Thank you for sharing, Mike. I'm sure Larry Flynt or Al Goldstein would approve.

Ah - so somebody finally turned the metaphor into a reality. I'd be afraid to do too many 12-fret octave jumps on that thing - who knows what might happen. In the "afterglow", does it just turn into a travel guitar?

The "case" is probably made from very thin latex. Image

I just learned the guitar is for sale. The builder is asking $500 for it.

I gotta admit, I'm tempted.

Mike, he could get a lot more than $500 for it, if he would paint the keyhead red. Image

Probably not a good idea to use it as a slide guitar. Image
