Will this guitar design catch on?

[mcnach]

That's an 'interesting' guitar design...

I reckon it would have in the hair-metal late  eighties.

When someone at a guitar factory indulges too much on mind altering substances...

[Cato]

I quite fancy one of these

Ultimate retro styling.

It’s how the early left-handers  were made !

[fleabag]

A big NO from me

[leftybassman392]

Someone seems to have too much time on their hands.

Or maybe it's art: a meditation upon the angst left handed players have to go through when buying a new instrument perhaps...?

The reverse V or as I like to call it "An abomination in the sight of the Lord."

[Skybone]

The pointy bits will catch on something.

At least with the V they reshaped what would have been the neck pocket. That bare pocket looks shite.

I think the only option would be to put another neck in there.

Well it's not as if it hasn't been done before...

But this one would be more straighter, so even betterer.

I suppose if you got the scale lengths right you'd basically have something along the lines of a Chapman stick.

I've seen this design before in an old guitar mag.  It was an article on a bloke from Dewsbury (I think) that called himself the upside down man.  Apparently he "discovered" that if he played a left handed guitar using his right handed technique he stumbled across some mystical scales.  The above design was his attempt at a completely upside down guitar. Apparently he released a few albums.

I didn't buy the album, and I won't be buying the guitar either.

When it comes to ambidextrous guitars, Otway did it first and best..!

And John the drummer is down here...

[Nibody]

with enough petrol and a couple of nicely aimed matches I'm sure it will catch on just fine....

[Dan Dare]

Photoshop's a lot of fun, isn't it?
