Here is a good example of why background checks should be required for some folks wanting to buy power tools.

In West Virginia, we call that Cornhole.

I think it looks like a mutant rabbit.

It's by no means self-evident that any power tools were used on that project ...

That guitar caused an angry mob to attack a guitar shop.

I can't decide if this one preceded, or came after the one above.

I'm sorry, but that's the most hideous thing I have ever seen and I wouldn't be caught playing it. Assuming someone could actually hold it and play it... It doesn't have the utility that a harp guitar has. I hope I'm not hurting anybodies' feelings... (Maybe it sounds good - it better, because it sure don't look good -too harsh?)

Of course they do. Send them a tracing and wait 7-10 weeks. Getting it through customs could be a bich tho.

Kinda takes the air out of the discussion about whether tuner A adds more weight to the guitar vs tuner B.

But the player does get stereo!

Visual beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thus far, I stand with sdsollod: How does it sound?

I mean, heck...the average harp guitar isn't the prettiest girl at the ball, either, but they can sound really nice. How does this thing sound?

I think it's quite unique. Who are we to make fun of anyone else's work? Here is his website.

Well, I wasn't really poking fun at that one, though I did comment. My opening post was the odd one in my opinion. But you are right. I'm sure harp guitars did (and still do) evoke odd reactions. The one that started this thread has weird anthropological ramifications.
