- The Danelecto Bellzouki 12 String Guitar From 1965
guitarz.blogspot.com: This Danelectro Bellzouki was the brainchild of Vincent Bell, a session guitarist in the 1960s. Apparently when asked to play bouzouki for a gig he tuned one up 12 string style and faked his way through the show. This lead him...
- Carvin Allan Holdsworth Signature Hh2
guitarz.blogspot.com: I knew Allan Holdsworth's face years before I'd ever heard him play a note. Way back in 1985 he was predominantly featured in my Ibanez catalogue of guitars. In fact, I think i played one of his Ibanez signature models...

- Double-sided Electric Guitar/bass...
guitarz.blogspot.com: Apologies for the poor quality of the photographs of this particular instrument; unfortunately the eBay seller didn't provide any better pictures. However, this is such a crazy instrument, I thought you'd like to see it anyway....

Specimen Electric 10 String Tiple
guitarz.blogspot.com:
The first time I'd ever heard of a tiple was years ago when a guitar repairman friend of mine showed me a box full of wooden shards and pieces that at one point was a turn of the century Martin Tiple. It had always been in my periphery as an instrument I'd like to try. With two sets of triple course strings and two sets of double course strings it has a bizarre outsider appeal.
I recently acquired a K. Yasuma Martin Tiple copy in a trade deal and have yet to play it. It requires a little work to get going and I just don't have the time these days for my own projects. I'll feature it here someday.
To the Specimen Electric Tiple above. I came across this while doing a little googling and think it would be great to try. I'd heard of Specimen before, mostly from Guitarz, but knew very little about them. This tiple is nice in that it maintains a lot of the acoustic aesthetic, but is an electric.
You may want to check out their guitars as well.
Very nice Specimen indeed.
