Epic.

 

[Demeyes]

That's one of the most ridiculous instruments I've ever seen! I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like to play. I'm surprised that it was made in 03 and I've never seen it before.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt....videos?

 

[BrainArt]

That thing looks like a beast to play.

 

[Trespass]

Fretless touchstyle?

Bohdi Bear

[MaKo´s Tethan]

[TheAceOfSpades1]

Very interesting idea, the thing looks like it weighs a ton though!

 

[thesimo]

completely pointless...

[Prydogga]

^ Serious?

That's like: "why get an 8 string, just get a bass" mentality...

 

[thesimo]

its really quite different.

[ixlramp]

'U' can pick.

 

[guitareben]

:O :O :O :O. Wow..... But isn't that basically just a chapman stick? Still, it is mega awesome

 

[BenEllerGuitars]

goooood god! that is a beast. but i can't help but wonder, where is the revolutionary, mind bending music that requires anyone to play such an instrument?

It's a touchstyle instrument no need to pick.

You arent supposed to pick any of the strings, hence why its called a tap guitar.

Edit: Ninja'd by Adam haha.

when you say "completely pointless" be sure to specify that you mean "completely pointless for YOU"
