Ultra Zone Guitar


Invented by Steve Vai, the “Ultra Zone” guitar was built in 2001 by Alistair Hay of Emerald Guitars in Ireland. Finished in Triflash paint, the reptile-like paint job turns from gold to green to red (depending on how the light hits it).

The Glass Harmonica- non electric and operated by a foot power has a sublime sound. Oh yeah, and invented by Ben Franklin

Everytime we picked a booger we'd flip it on this one winduh. Every night we'd contribute, 2, 3, 4 boogers. We had to use a putty knife, man, to get them damn things off the winduh. There was some goober ones that weren't even hard...

The largest drum kit in the world.

Maybe not extraordinary, but I thought Jack White's homemade guitar was pretty cool.

Holy crap, I'd hate to tune that beast!

I can't see well, does it have tuning pegs on the left hand side?
Worst things to tune are small string instruments like violin and ukelele, and direct-peg tuning, like on old violins, harps, pianos, zithers... On guitars and basses you have a worm wheel that allows for fine tuning. When you use the peg directly, the smallest movements on the peg can result in the pitch changing by more than a semitone.


I'm a huge fan of hangs:
