I was leafing through the latest Guitar World, and came across an ad for the Hunter Cutter which has to be the strangest guitar I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s just my guitar indoctrination talking, but the thing is a train wreck. The creator claims that the stainless steel wings help with sustain, but they’re screwed on, thus limiting any resonance transfer from the body. The tremolo is also unconventional, as it physically attaches to your arm. Apparently the thing is heavy as well, as evidenced by the obvious exertion in the face of its sweat soaked creator. He has several other models on the site as well, including a nine string plank of wood and a three necked rotating monstrosity. You have to give the guy credit though, at least he’s trying. Maybe he just needs more power tools.

The HTML on his site is also quite a larf, as most of it is a nest of images, font tags and unending links. He has some guitar slides for sale (with wood liners to snugly fit your fingers) but you can’t buy them, because of an unclosed anchor tag that turns the form into a link.
I think the site would make a HTML validator catch fire.

All of this can be yours for $2500 –only double the price of a lightly used PRS.
I’m remimded of the Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car for his brother’s company:

Herb Powell: “What does this monstrosity cost?”
Engineer: “$80,000″
Herb Powell: “I’m ruined!!”

It’s all yours for the taking –if you can figure out how to submit the PayPal form.
