This goes to show you that it's true- A fool and his money are soon parted! What IDIOT would ever have this custom made by anyone? I bet the Gibson Factory guys were laughing their arses off while making this one!

Did you notice the 3 octave fretboard? Yup- 36 frets! What would you play the 28th or so fret up with- your fingernail? The frets would be so close together, you couldn't possibly fret the note cleanly. You'd have to put your picking hand over the pickup (neck position) to play it! I'm sorry if it seems like I'm getting all worked up over this, but I'm sorry- this monstrosity must be DESTROYED for the good of all Mankind!

The pictures don't look fake to me, they just look photoshopped and artificial in the name of being more attractive.

Re: Check out this 7 string explorer on ebay!!

im sorry but that is the worst guitar ever!! even if you could fret 32nd cleanly, imagine how bad it would sound, weev all got slides and put them up to where 32nd might be!
buy a whammy pedal and save a few grand!

It's real, I've seen pics of those guitars a few times. They're on Ed Roman's web site, and I've seen them elsewhere.
