I'm amazed that anyone would need to be talked out of making that purchase.

I was thinking if you used an open tuning on the guitar side the clever and skilled player may be able to accompany himself/herself on slide whilst playing bass. Add a kick drum with top mounted high hat on your back with ropes attached to your ankles for predal controls and you'd all set for an afternoon of busking outside the mall!

Stupid concept. Unless you are a wealthy collector and can afford to buy instruments purely because they're unique, I would avoid this as I can see no practical use with this for a working musician. Huge waste of money.

Ahhh... you guys are no fun at all. But it's working. My gas has temporarily redistributed itself to a dano I want to use my MF 20% off coupon on. May pull the trigger tomorrow. On the Dano, not this. If this were cheaper I'd be more apt to give it a go.

I especially like though that it has a great bridge. You can't beat that.

Hey, if you like it, go for it.
Your opinion on what suits you is the one that matters most!

If this has been mentioned, my apologies, but...

I'm guessing there will be no relief in the neck, unless it is shaved into the fretboard and permanent. I see a truss rod hole, but what for? It must be for support only. You couldn't change relief on one side without altering the relief on the other.

So I'm guessing (again) that there is no changing the relief and you're stuck with the relief they carved into the fretboard(s). Or that they did not carve into the fretboard.

Scary.
