    Default I'm at a loss figuring out where to post this... Check it out.

    NMC, but thought some folk here would be interested to see.

    With those long necks you could find every note on a single string! With proper tuning of that 8-neck Guitar you could play 3 chords in 8 keys without a capo! Ain't technology wunnerful?

    You really should have posted it in the octopusses (octopi??) forum.

    Actually, those guitars only have a 25" scale length, they've just got reeeeeally skinny necks.
    If I call my guitar my "axe," does that mean my mandolin is my hatchet?

    That's exactly why I don't use wall mount hangers for my instruments! They stretch the neck out a little too much for me!

    Has anyone actually attempted to play some of these? I know the longnecks are probably impossible, but the multi-necked ones?

    Do the anti-capo brigade still say they should never be used?

    Forget the reach, think of the strength in your fingers! To play those things you could type from the other side of the room.

    These look like something Rick Nielsen from cheap trick would have made for him.

    A good argument for not using rubber necks...
