How about this one... for if you can't decide whether you want a 6-string or 12-string... for want to play bass now, but 4-string or 5-string???

That thing must weigh a ton!

The Beast six neck guitar is made by Hutchins Guitars... I just saw this picture of Gary Hutchins and Norman Cook (aka Fat Boy Slim) with The Beast. Hutchins are a relatively new guitar company so I guess they must have made it as a publicity stunt. Surely no-one could actually play it? You'd need arms like an Oran Utang!

"The Hutchins concept is to simply look back at those classic designs of the 50's and 60's and recreate their elegance with cutting edge 21st century technology and to bring you a fabulous work of art that has a purpose. Each Hutchins product, is a piece of art that not only looks fabulous, it sounds
fabulous as well.

Looks like one of Rick Neilson's Hamers. He plays 'em .

Wow, looks pretty cool in action - does he play all 6 necks? It must be crippling to play!


Edit: 5 necks. Just noticed he has "only" 5 necks, not 6 as in the original photos

Wow..

Those guitars are quiet weird But I would say It's interesting!

How would they manage to play those guitars?

Wow! To play guitar on that kind of design or structure can be a very much complicated one. I just hoped that you would be able to really get things done in this end to play it, or it is better to just have this one as a design. Wow is the only word that I can say here!

Yeah, that is a bit complicated guitar to play with. First thing that comes to mind is that's heavy and you can't just stand the whole gig playing it. Secondly, it requires focus when playing since you have six fretboard or necks, you need to quickly change pace correctly. So the people who could play this guitar is really amazing for me.
