I just love the first question asked to the seller:

"Is there a discount available for this guitar as it will only be possible to play 66.6% of notes normally available on a 6 string guitar? Thanks."

What a smart ass!

that is so funny. I love the Frequently asked questions.
Is there a discount because it can only play 66.6% of the notes one could play on a 6 string guitar?

Haha, wow this makes me want to buy this strange, rare guitar. I wonder if the big strange nobs keep it in tune better?

"The size and shape of this guitar is interesting too, as it seems much larger and heavier than regular electric guitars."

Will someone actually buy it? It doesn't seem half bad, and the pickguard/body color combo really looks nice.

That's very funny. Thanks for sharing. Still, we shouldn't really mock....... should we?
