Southpa Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I was visiting a music store a few miles away and some guy dropped in to show the owner his new project. He called it the "elephant" bass and it was, indeed, an elephant. Picture the head of an elephant with the trunk being the neck of the guitar. The front was a detailed carving of an elephant's face and he had two removeable tusks that inserted on either side of the pickup. It was all made of maple and looked like a work of art. Next time I drop by there I will inquire about it and maybe see if I can get a picture of the animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Nothing's uglier than the tiger guitar I saw on e-Bay once upon a time, after following a link from some forum or another (not this one, though, I don't think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themikestro Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 The shark shaped guitar was a Jay Tursey (spelling?) guitar. I saw a weird one in a music shop window made from a machinegun, like an assault rifle or something..... god knows how it plays, but certainly different!
