They certainly broke the mould when they came up with that one.

What does that big bar (which looks like one of my kitchen cupboard handles ) do?

From the bumf that came with it: "Finger bar rest. Extra long, for new comfort when playing."

Clearly, long is the new comfort

That's not what Mel says.

I was thinking that it was sprung loaded with the pups like some crazy whammy so you could wobble them for a tremolo effect.

It's for drying your socks, I think.

Ahhh right. It's so obvious once it's been pointed out.

On reflection, I think you were close to it first time... it's a towel rail

Those pickups look delicious

Nice one, I'd love to have something of this sort in future.

I had one of these when I was a teenager - at least, the 4-string version. Wish I still had it - if this were a 4 it would be mine.
