Well, now that I look closer... They pulled it off okay, but why would you attempt at all? Just play a chapman stick or something. Does anybody know how this thing is tuned?

Has anyone seen this one?
I thought I post it before anyone starts a new thread. I don't know what it is but that Tennessee Carrier and this 2-stringer always seem to 'appear' at the same time here on TB.
One question to the OP: why does the TN make you mad?

At least you didn't give up on what you believe or anything!
How dare people push boundaries? HOW DARE THEY?!?! I was offended when they started micing vocalists, I was offended when the electric replaced the upright, I was offended when they invented active electronics, I was horrified and appalled by the invention of effect pedals, but THIS, no no, THIS is WAY OVER THE LINE. We have obviously achieved perfection and should STOP ALL ATTEMPTS TO IMPROVE OR INNOVATE IMMEDIATELY.
The only thought that has bugged me about is restringing, and the cost, and with what, and the time.

Tuned like a 17th c. Italian theorbo, i.e., any way you want...
They had something similar to this at a local music store.

As the kind of guy who feels that 5 strings is too many, i am deeply offended by this monstrosity:scowl:
Why?
How do you even begin to grip the neck? Or is it a tap only kind of thing?

Or a giant *****.
I got so mad when I saw this.
I mean, why would you do that? >:O
Getting mad at the picture is like getting mad at your spelling. It exists, and despite how it infuriates, it's not going away.
Maybe it's so you can slice your hard boiled eggs at the gig...?
*smirk* "Tennessee"? Two thoughts come to mind:
1) Maybe it's borne of the classic redneck concept (and there are PLENTY in backwoods TN; used to live there; tell me I'm wrong, I dare you!) that if 4 are good and 6 are better, then how cool would FIFTEEN be?
2) Could you imagine the looks you'd get if you pulled this out of the gig bag at a session on Music Row? They would a) burn your union card and b) string you up by your sweetmeats right then and there! (And maybe not even in that order...)
OR, if you even got to the recording part.... "Hey Ed, I think your D string is out." "Really? Which one?"
