Pretty shape too, and so well thought out. Maybe the designer is an engineer who made this for himself???

well, seems like the cockpit of a MIG, so I think that's not archimedes which is wrote on the fretboard, it's aeroflot with greek letters.

I really like to change sounds of a guitar by switching but this thing is more than strange. perhaps the bunch of switches is the remote control of the vw beetle that produces all the energy which you need for using the other features?

Looks like a cross between Alembic and Alzheimer's.

. . . the guy put stuff on the guitar while completely forgetting that he'd already put it on the day before . . .

the "Look at all the colors" switch is too close to the "Walls are closing in on me" switch. It should be next to the "It all makes sense to me now" switch.

I hate poor design.

Jeff,
Now's your chance to correct the faulty design. Just build the corrected model and all will do well.I especially love the Prozac Dispenser switch. :D

we'll move that switch next to the "Voice of a good friend to talk me down"(VGF) switch.
