Man, the red elvises are some crazy dudes. The big red triangle guitar (bass?) is quite impressive.

Where'd you get these wacky things Rod? The fish one kind of has the edge design of Taku Sakashta, but doesn't look like his handy work. He builds a very nice archtop.
Sakashta Version-R

No photoshop here, I don't have it.

Bunnybass is where I found all this stuff. Warrning though, that there are some more risky instruments on the site (nothing XXX but close). There is about 200 different instruments there. Take a look.

Geoff, that big red triangle is a balalaika. Got to love those Russian instruments.

Geoff, that is a bass balalaika. Very cool stuff. It is a Russian folk instrument. I know there are at least two different sizes that are played, and there might be even more. Ever see a bass mandolin? That is a cool instrument.JBreault38855.4434027778

Rod, I like that whale guitar, too. And I actually like that Ovation, despite its being even more kitsch than a sunburst (yeah, that was a little jab in the ribs of you sunburst lovers ).

Pretty wild what people will feel compelled to build...

Wild stuff! The 12 string- why? i can see a harp guitar having wings like that, but what's the use on that guitar? oh well...
Hey- the Red Elvises are cool, I have seen them twice here in Grand Rapids. they are crazy!
