6/13/11- My guitar

6/7/11- Antoher Strange Guitar

Yep, that's a foot guitar. While clearly easier to play than that acoustic guitar I posted about the other day, this still has a strange appearance.

6/4/11- Gibson Firebird X

About a month ago, Gibson released it's revolutionary Gibson Firebird X guitar. Due to the fact that it's almost $6,000, I haven't been able to test it out for myself. But judging by the looks of it, I am assuming that it's great. What's so revolutionary about it is the effects that have been built in. It features many of the standard effects that you would get by using effect pedals (echo, reverb, distortion, etc.) and puts it all into one instrument. It also features a built-in tuner, but Gibson had already released that feature on it's Robot guitar series. However, it must be a really cool thing to have the ability to use many effects all in one. The downside to this is the price. You can probably buy each one of the effects this guitar has on its own and you would still have spent less than what you would have spent to buy this instrument. Nevertheless, this is an amazing design with many useful features and if you can afford it, it looks like it's worth a try.

6/3/11- Strange Looking Acoustic

I first got into musical instruments around 2007 or so. During the past four years or so, I have seen pictures of some really unique instruments. Until about five minutes ago, I have never seen an instrument that looks like this:

This acoustic guitar has three necks: the standard six string and two small twelve strings. I can't tell what the thing on the back is, but judging by the bridge that is seen on a nylon string acoustic guitar, it may just be another neck. The picture is not very big, so it's difficult to tell the details of the twelve string necks. Honestly, I have no idea how someone would play a guitar like this. It looks extremely difficult to play and it looks like it would be hard to play it cleanly without accidentally hitting another string belonging to a different neck. I wouldn't say it would be impossible, but difficult? Yes.
