One-off 7-string acoustic with massive 23"-wide lower body bout
guitarz.blogspot.com:
Here's what the eBay seller describes as a
7-String Non Archtop Acoustic Guitar, as if to suggest that archtop 7-string acoustics are reasonably commonplace. It is apparently a one-off luthier-built instrument, its most astonishing feature being that the lower boust is a mammoth 23" in width, which is longer than the scale length of certain classic guitars. The seller claims that the guitar fits comfortably on the lap; I'd imagine that with a body width like that the bass response would be fantastic.
Item is located in Hamden, Connecticut, United States, and is currently being offered for sale on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $375.

1960s Teisco Electric Banjitar Which Allegedly Sounds Better Than A Strat
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's an oddity from 1960s Japan that I find curiously appealing for some reason that I cannot fathom. It's a Teisco electric banjitar. That's right, a solidbody electric 6-string banjo. With a whammy bar! Actually,...
