That is arguably the single daftest thing I have ever seen on eBay.

I wouldn't hesitate to place a bid, except that it doesn't come with a case.

[cocco]

MEGA lol, that is awesome, and pointless at the same time, I like these qualities

[Bassassin]

Mad as a badger. What's it for?

(More medication please nurse)

[spacecowboy]

Wasn't this made for Pat Metheny?

[RhysP]

It looks like it was designed by Picasso.
I can sort of see where he's coming from with the top six bass strings - it's like the old harp guitars.
The bottom set of strings is anyone's guess.....

Oh I don't know ... I've met several people who could find a use for THAT.

From Wikipedia

'Metheny plays a custom-made Pikasso I created by Canadian luthier Linda Manzer on "Into the Dream" and on the albums Quartet, Imaginary Day, Jim Hall & Pat Metheny, Trio->Live, and the Speaking of Now Live and Imaginary Day DVDs. Metheny has also used the guitar in his guest appearances on other artist's albums.

Manzer has also made many acoustic guitars for Metheny, including a mini guitar, an acoustic sitar guitar, and also the baritone guitar, which Metheny used for the recording of One Quiet Night. His latest use of the Pikasso is found on the album Metheny Mehldau Quartet, his second collaboration with pianist Brad Mehldau and his trio sidemen Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard; the Pikasso is featured on Metheny's impressionistic composition "The Sound of Water."'

So your reference to Picasso was more accurate than you thought. It does sound remarkable but I am not wholly convinced of its versatility/practical applications.

[Happy Jack]

It's probably good enough for jazz.

I'm loving the questions on that item:


Q: Hi Paul, do you have any other modelled body parts that might be available soon? Kind regards L
A: How funny is that, not


Q: Hi Paul, Does the hand smell of anything - does it have a rubbery odour at all?
A: I don't know. It's all wrapped up to go. What difference does that make to either using it in a trick or as a display magic collection. Weird question.


Q: Hi Paul, are the fingers fairly solid, or bendy? I would prefer if they were at least semi-solid and didn't bend under slight pressure, thanks
A: I think that semi solid is the perfect description


Q: Has it been used a lot..? and is it easily cleaned..?
A: It was used in rehearsal, and then on one show. Cleaned? All I know is that it had a mark on it and I used plain water on a clean cloth to wash it off. It has been stored in a sealed box.
