Sometimes 24 hours in a day is just not enough for everything that we need to do in life. People are constantly looking for ways to do things simultaneously to save precious time.

Here is a great example of how to play the guitar as well as play with your pet at the same time.

Looking at this guitar really makes me laugh. This has got to be the most ridiculous guitar design I have ever seen. This is just comedy!

Must be fun to whip this out during a concert and just have everyone stare in confusion.

The most amazing thing I have ever seen!

The video is called “Resonant Chamber” and it was made by Animusic.com. They produce animated videos of different figures creating musical sounds.

I personally like this one just because this “thing” is very cool. I thought the animation is really great.

The way the fingers moved and plucked the strings were kind of creepy but awesome at the same time.

For all the Lego geeks out there, here’s something that might tickle your fancy-a Lego guitar.

I don’t know if this can actually be played or if the neck can withstand the pressure but it is nice to look at.

The good thing about this guitar is if you get bored with the design you know you can stick a few blocks in there to change it up a bit.


Here is a fully functioning Fender Bass Guitar Hero (PS2) guitar made of LEGO created by the same guy who made the LEGO Gibson Explorer controller.

From luthier Lou Reimuller, comes Teenar, the teen girl guitar!

I know this guitar came out a while back but I just had the urge to post about it again.

Both a companion and an instrument, you will never be lonely again when you have Teenar.

This amazing guitar is actually a vintage mannequin turned into an electric guitar.

The only catch is that if you are with Teenar you know that there are strings attached - PUN!

I can’t imagine how much time this guy spent editing all the clips to create this masterpiece. Too bad he can never do all three guitars live… or can he..

Behold! The ultimate guitar: the Pikasso.

The Pikasso has 42-stings, 4 necks, and 2 sound holes.

I get so confused just by looking at it. I don’t know where to start. Should I play the top neck? the rear?

This thing must be a pain to tune. Expect to spend a few hours restringing this beast.

There are millions of guitars in the world and looking for the “perfect one” is tough. I see musicians stop by the Guitar Center or their local guitar shop literally a hundred times before they finally found the One. Testing out guitar after guitar, going through the different models and brands hoping to find the one that truly connects with them.

What about those people who are still on a quest? If you still haven’t found your guitar, there’s one more coming your way: The Wangcaster!!

Why get a boring old telecaster when you can get the Wangcaster! The name is already a winner. If you want to put on a good show - this is the guitar for all the people who need attention. You can’t go wrong with this.

Seriously this guitar will blow your mind - no pun intended!

Have you ever wanted a guitar that can handle everything? Spanish Guitar? Classical?

The people from MIT has developed the Chameleon guitar for that specific purpose. The guitar can be made into whatever guitar you want by changing the soundboards.

The interchangeable soundboards each have electronics and sensors that pickup vibration. They are also made of different type of woods and bracing to create different tones. The electronics are also manipulated by a computer to produce different sounds effects based on size and shape of the guitar. The guitar can mimic any guitar sound or even other instruments.

Check out the video:

The talented Jamal from the acapella band Naturally 7 imitating a guitar sound.

Amazing vocal power! Apparently every member of the band can imitate different musical instruments.

This is a guitar that you don’t have to keep in tune and no need for replacing strings.

I’m sure that Police Academy guy will smile when he sees this.

It would have sounded way better if he used an imaginary Marshall amp instead of that invisible made in china junk.
