11.– Electric harp guitar

Didn’t have enough with the acoustic harp guitar? The electric harp guitar is equipped with a headless 6–string neck and a Steinberger Trans-Trem. Opera-rock anybody?
12.– Heat Hawk

This guitar could only be made in Japan. It includes an internal amp and speakers, and makes sounds when you pull the trigger. It gets my vote for the ugliest design I have ever seen.
13.– Guitar & bass (now here’s something i’d really love to Own)

If you can’t stand your bassist any more you have to get this guitar and kick him out of the group. But you will need long fingers to be able to play it comfortably. If only you had two more hands…
14.– Nano guitar

In the opposite of the the last one, you will need a really small hand to be able to play this, as it’s only 10 micrometers long. So small you can’t even use a pick and have to play it with a laser light. Of course, you can’t also hear how it sounds, but it’s a great piece of engineering.
15.– Skatar

The first combination of a guitar, a bass and a transport. Get on stage, play the damn thing and be the first to leave on your skate. Just take care of not stepping on the strings.
16.– Scary Guitar

Another guitar for which I have no info, but won its place here if only for the oddly shaped head.17.– Ibanez Tripleneck
You can’t do an article about strange guitars without showing some owned by Steve Vai. When we thought that the double-neck used by Jimmy Page was almost too much, we find the triple-neck. One twelve-string neck, one regular 6–string and a fretless one configure this singular guitar. It must hurt to carry it for a while. Steve wanted to use it on Sex and Religion tour but it was too expensive to carry it, because of its fragility.
18.– Ibanez Heart Tripleneck
The last guitar wasn’t weird enough, so pushing it a little further, this has a heart-shaped body. Designed also by Steve Vai, it was replaced by the last one because this was too difficult to play and doesn’t really make much sense.
This is so strange I almost can’t describe it. The character of the sound of the guitar is defined mainly by it’s body and it’s resonant properties. This guitar has no body and uses two cylindrical resonators, which can be changed at any time. The pickups can also be adjusted to get the sound you want.
20.– Guitar Theremin
OK, it’s not really a guitar so it doesn’t count, take it as a bonus for reading up to here. This is played by moving your hand up and down the neck and tapping at the red button, in a theremin-style. No, sorry, it doesn’t shoot lasers and can’t fry your enemies.

Truly weird guitars…
that Heat Hawk guitar is modeled after a weapon in the Gundam Series. Its a Zeon weapon….not sure why it has a trigger though cause its pretty much an Axe……that heats up.
biggest lot of shite!!!!!!!!!! man, some people need to get a fuckin emotional grip on life and start gettin more in touch with thier self. Harming(suicidal)”(killing yourself aint always the right way out!) (remember who you might leave behind!!!!!) terms of life being. remember you are still alive, dont take it for granted!) at the end of the day life is only a whisper away! take care for those that chose to have a fantasic lifestyle live it and for those that dont stop fuckin about and end it!!!!!!! life is life however it ends up!
Wow, those are pretty cool. Who thinks these things up!
These are indeed interesting, but not really attractive. I wonder if anyone has developed a Nerf launcher guitar?
Those are tight
the ibanez heart does make sense, it’s used for double handed tapping. Carrying it around must be a pain in the ass though.
