Found through the amusing, great and unfortunately tortuous (for me - as I do find things I want to buy so bad here) http://musicthing.blogspot.com/ - the most unplayable looking guitars ever. In particular, and the one that showed up on Music Thing - the Skeletar.

You'd just get tangled in the thing. And that's not even getting into how damned stupid it is!
I mean, they look like they're very well built, and designed, but... Ugh.

On The Ladykillers on DVD they have a mini-documentary of Danny Ferrington. He made the instruments for the movie, and he's made lots of custom guitars for all sorts of folks. It was petty cool. Here's some stuff he did with Kramer, but if you watch the DVD they show his shop, and some of the crazy stuff he has done.

That's actually buried in the S-link - though a different picture.

The Folk Legend is a thing of beauty forever, even if you would have scars on your upper thighs from playing it.

Wow. I've become a... Oh wait, I already was*.

Indeed, it was the Gundam Guitar, which I had come across somewhere a few months back, which had my brother sending me the link to Music Thing. He knows my love of all things music afterall.

The most disturbing of which being an affliction cattle get from eating  hogweed or some such.

if i had a million dollars or somesuch i would build a shop in the backyard and all kinds of tools so i could spend all day making (or thinking about making) useless shit that would never ina bajillion years be .000001% as cool as the stuff that guy made.

apparently the skelatar actually works.  that is the coolest.  i would not want to play a skeleton guitar, if i were a guitar player, but to be able to create one, out of wood and stuff, and have it work, such that you can make it sound xylophone-esque,
that may be the pinacle of crafting.

Yea. That is true. I mean like I say, they do look to be very well built and designed. I've known a couple of people in my time who could make guitars, and I've always thought it would be pretty awesome to be able to. Then I could Hendrix my guitars at the end of a set, and as long as I don't break the neck or head, just patch it too. That said, I could never have the heart to smash up my Les Paul.

Apparently PRS is located right in this area because several people I've talked to in bands have gone there to make their own guitars.
