See something strange in this guitar? Yeah, the body is reversed. Or maybe it’s the neck which is reversed? Anyway, this doesn’t seem like a comfortable guitar to play, at least if you want to get to the higher notes in the fretboard. You can get one for $459 online.
2.– Gun guitar
Play and kill at the same time with the Gun guitar. Someone from Gizmodo saw this in a Japanese Yamaha store, where there must be lots of weird guitars, have a look at the bass in the left. The price is about $700, not bad if only you could shoot with it.
3.– Pikasso
Pat Metheny is one of the most famous jazz guitar players and winner of lots of Grammys. The Pikasso guitar was built for him by luthier Linda Manzer in 1984 and it has 42 strings.


6.– Toilet seat guitar

This toilet seat guitar includes all the accessories for making it look very real, like the turd and the toilet paper. Makes me wonder, does it sound like sh*t?
7.– Harp Guitar

For some people it’s difficult enough to play the guitar, leave alone if it is combined with a harp. This is a combination of two instruments in one, and there are thousands of models, with different number of strings and configuration.
8.– Satan angel guitar
I have no additional info about this guitar, but the picture is weird enough to be included here. Recommended for death-metal and satanic bands, I suppose.
9.– Naked lady guitar
Wanna be really provocative? Then you have to play with this guitar or the next one, whichever fits you most. Both are guaranteed to scandalize your public and, of course, their mothers. Have a look where the jack is connected.
10.– Wangcaster
If you need to show your virility on stage the Wangcaster is your guitar. Picture says it all, so no more comments. Well, the pubic-hair pickguard is nice to have too.

Google, like all big companies, spends quite a bit on maintaining a team of underfed, sharply dressed, legal rottweilers to fight off its detractors and rivals. Some of the writs run to hundreds of pages of typewritten legalise gobbledygook and some come handwritten - or really badly scrawled - on a few pages.
The winner of the weirdest and funniest Google lawsuit goes to Dylan Stephen Jayne [heads-up to Parker for the correction], who is suing Google because – wait for it –when you take his social security numbers, flip them upside down and jumble them about they spell out something that looks like ‘Google’. This in turn is proof that Google violated his civil liberties by using his social security number to come up with the name for its company.
And Dylan wants his cut. For just $5 billion in damages, he’ll let them off. Hell, his writ even throws in a bit about the War on Terror. $5 billion is a bargain Google – take the deal, you don’t stand a chance. Go Dylan Go.
