Donny,

Everyone knows a Gipson Fes Maul when they see one. wassamadderwidyou? I think Fran has one.

Tom

Donny...interesting. It's obviously a home made contraption...fretless...looks like two pipes for the neck and three strings. Bottom one is
probably a bass string of some kind. Can't tell about the pick-up(s) but sounds like it might be a piezo of some kind.

there are a bunch of odd-balls from minor manufacturers, like the one I just bought (UGH), but this is a little rougher than that.

Don't think I'll get one!


Russ

Thanx Russ, the body looks familiar though Hmmmmm? odd ball piece for sure....I guess there's all kinds eh?

The body (the corner I can see at least) reminds me of the top of some type of antique wooden chair!!!!!!

Well he is effective!

Probably a solid body guitar blank available from a lot of sources sawed to the shape.

It's a variation of a cigar box guitar from the depression era.

The one in the video is a Lowebow Cigar box model.

Jerry.......awesome heads up....WOW!!
very unique!!

Russ maybe you should add one to the collection.....what do they cost? Are they collectable?

Interesting, but don't think I'll get one. Recently ordered a Ministar from the posting on NAMM oddities. It is an unplayable piece of crap!

Have found out that several avant guard blues folks are using this one and I can see why.

Take my word for it...avoid, or carefully check out any instrument from Codel Enterprises. The instruments are unplayable.
