crunchee Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm guessing that's either an electric Zither or a cheese grater. I was gonna say 'washboard', but electricity and water don't mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Because they can? Because they want to stretch the definition of guitar? Honestly some of those people should have just learned to play keyboards. More notes. More polyphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I once read a science fiction (or horror) sorta story where a guy at a stud ranch had two dicks and fucked old women in both holes at the same time. I recall the description of electric blue sparks flying. I bet the guitar was built for that dude. I'll send a dollar to the first person who recognizes the story and names the author.

Willie G. Moseley Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There are, er, downsized versions like the Warr guitar that players like Trey Gun can manipulate pretty well. He's been in King Crimson and last I heard was with a Peter Gabriel tribute band called the Security Project (coupla decent live albums). Couple of decades ago Gibson some kind of Explorer-shaped, zither-like thing for "Maestro" Alex Gregory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshoowah Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 It's as if someone saw the Gibson Style U harp guitar in Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight" video, but they were watching on a tiny CRT, and thought it had a solid full-width neck instead of floating harp strings... Beyond the initial curiosity and oddity, I completely fail to see this thing's raison d'être. The other thing I don't understand is why that guy needed a 17-string guitar for the video if the instrument wasn't necessary for the recording. But whatever. I'm delighted to say I don't understand "influencer" and social media celebrity culture, anyway, and hope I never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
