Let's post some unusual instruments here for a while. I was surprised to find so many luthiers online that are doing it full time. I didn't think that there were that many people who could afford this stuff.

This one's called the Pikasso, commissioned by Pat Metheny from Linda Manzer Guitars. She does some beautiful work.

There's always the guitar that John McLaughlin used with the original "Shakti"

This one is based on the original Dyer design. One thing is for certain, these guys have some terrible looking websites on average. I don't know why people save full color photos as gifs instead of jpegs. Smile

I guess you need three hands to play the pikasso? Laughing Great designs really. That one of shane sanders looks like a wooden form of day of the tentacle playing a guitar. Thanks for posting these. Creative heads behind these Smile
