Currently listed for sale on eBay with a starting price of $8,000, here's a Vline sword guitar, built by avant garde luthier Vincent Berton in the early 1980s. Unlike the previous example we looked at on this blog, this example is not quite so literal in the sword analogy, and even has something of what we might call a "body".
Sources are still undecided as to how many guitars Berton actually made, with numbers varying from "two dozen" to 100 depending on who you choose to believe.
