Floyd Rose headless Strat-like guitar with (Shock! Horror!) hardtail bridge
guitarz.blogspot.com:
The name
Floyd Rose is synonymous with locking tremolo systems but many people forget that Floyd Rose produce their own series of guitars. This
Floyd Rose headless guitar looks a little like a Strat that's met with an accident; it's no wonder that other Floyd Rose designs with tuning taking place solely at the bridge still have a headstock for aesthetic reasons.
This guitar was said to have been originally priced at $500 (the seller doesn't tell us when) and is currently listed on eBay with a starting price of $175.

Melobaritone Project 2
I started to work on the Doppelcaster but my brain is still busy with the Melobaritone idea... I did put some more thinking on it, and updated the project (I want a new instrument, not just a Melobar copy). First I would do it with an aluminium neck...
