Well, this is a bit art-deco.

Hmm. Like that...a bit

Hmmm... ply body, like 🙃

That looks as if it might be really quite uncomfortable to play.  It's interesting to look at, but I suspect I'd get bored quickly.

It'll be a right bugger to clean when it gets dusty

Just a couple of toothpicks should do the job.

I hope it has lots of embedded LEDs and a sound/light system.

I was thinking the same.  Cotton buds and dental floss, too.

What a rubbish listing!

In amongst the folky, supposedly-funny comments, you'd think he'd have found the room to mention what the controls do, what the string-spacing and scale length are, how much the bass weighs, little things like that.

As it is, he doesn't even claim that what he's selling actually works, or would be capable of working with the addition of a neck + tuners and a set of strings.

For some reason, the phrase "10-foot bargepole" keeps springing to mind.

And if you scroll down the pics a bit, guess what's there? Only with a neck...

Page seems to have last been updated in 2016, so guessing the idea didn't really take off. Cool enough art-piece, I suppose.

If I had wall space to hang things on, I'd have it as a wall-hanger.
