Would you like to have a skeletar? You could play it secretly in your closet. No one would ever have to know.
Some of the exotics in this collection are actually quite pretty.
From the description on this one:
It's interesting that because so much mass of the guitar's body is carved away (a bare bones guitar), the entire instrument is LIVE. Touching the neck is like tapping pole pieces on the pickup. Running your fingernail over the ribs makes a sound like a xylophone. Excellent sustain. The jack is located at the end of the tailbone, and while some guitars have coil tap, this one has a spinal tap.
Some guitarists rub barbecue sauce into the strings. Doing that for this one might be a little offputting.
Thinking better of it, if this were someone's guitar that they'd purchased, doing that might add to the fun.
I'll leave the who's and the why's of the skeletar to you readers (and players).
UPDATE:
What this thing is, I have no idea.
what this is....a cluster something or other comes to mind
best guess is it's a six string acoustic with several sets of sympathetic strings. usually that extra stuff is called a harp guitar add-on.
you'd either tune them to open chords or something harmonious for when the vibrations happen.
maybe the top neck is a mandolin type thing, maybe not.
it ain't as pretty as the one abe wechter made for john mclaughlin
but i'm pretty sure they eat acid at manzer geetars.
