From what I understand you have to "qualify" to Buy a guitar. Just check out his website. He also was in the brass instruments business and touts his horns as the second coming of Louie Armstrong

Taken from his monstrosity of a website:
"HOW TO ORDER A ZACHARY GUITAR
You must QUALIFY first. That's Right ... QUALIFY.
Anyone can buy a Zachary Guitar, however you need to follow the procedure to qualify. Its very simple actually. You need to send me a video of yourself playing the guitar. Just a simple video of you sitting in a chair playing. Sound quality is of no concern. I will then forward this video to the Z Committee - the inner circle - (a group of dedicated Z guitar owners), who will decide whether or not a Z guitar is right for you or if you even need a Zachary Guitar.
Your playing ability and technique is not the most important consideration and not the deciding factor. Its a combination of many factors. I do however want to be sure that you will be able to actually use a Zachary guitar. No reason for you to buy a Zachary guitar if you cannot use or appreciate one. That will not make either one of us happy.
If you have a problem with this or know in your heart that you don't qualify for a Zachary guitar, then just go to your local guitar boutique and they will be more than happy to take your credit card. All they want is your money. Just like any prostitute, they will get down on their knees, perform their service without any emotion towards you. A totally impersonal and shallow transaction based on mutual self interest. ... I will offer you a lot more and in exchange I am interested in knowing what's in your soul."

Sometimes, and this is one, life is stranger than fiction.
Now, I must have sads cause I know in my heart that I cannot qualify for a Zachary guitar. sAd emoji .....

Hi,
Oh! Oh! I think he has just the instrument for you!
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
Well, it's still limited by having 4 strings, so he should have added a couple more. And then, it's still limited by being tuned so low, so he should really tune it up an octave higher.. then he might have something interesting!

I couldn't even get to the two minute mark to find out what's so special about it. What a complete and utter wanker!
Looks crap.....sounds worse. Other than that it seems alright.

Please TB, please, let's nominate someone to properly troll this guy.
I just don't think he has seen a guy put bass strings on a guitar before. or Kala bass, or wes Borland's 4 string guitar. I feel like he's doing it wrong as well. Just makes me wanna keep scrolling. I also feel like he's trolling for exposure. and I think he got it.

I actually ordered a guitar from him years ago. He was kinda friendly - until I sent the deposit. Then he went full Jekyll and Hyde on me. Now instead of what I wanted it was what he was going to build for me and I was going to like it. Cancelled and got at least some of the deposit back. He actually has some interesting ideas, but can't help but letting his ego get in the way.
I'm pretty mediocre, and don't play plectrum....I can send a demo and see if I "qualify". Can we start a go-fund-me if I make it past the inner circle?
If I actually get one, I will continue trolling with YouTube vids mocking him...You have my guarantee.
