Don't laugh, it sold so unexpectedly well at the time, they did another, larger run. And due to the wood wings going into the neck direction it probably would sound better as a bass too. Of course the look is self-defeating unless you are either Rick Nielsen or play with Devo.

How about a "twisted" V - upper trad and lower reverse...?

Is a reverse V going to be an option?   Bwahahaha!

But.....but.....that would be a "Y".

Cool as hell. Straight from a "The Jetsons" cartoon. I really think it is a cool shape, why did no one think of it earlier?

It would balance good too, due to that long-horn-eye-poking-thingie.

And you can play it both ways, it always will look cool! Now how many other basses can do that?

Both ways? You mean upright and horizontal?

All it needs is an end pin.

You know better than to make posts like that around here, Dave. Especially the "end pin" part.

Coming from behind to pin the end I do like how the neck bows gently forward. Nothing to leave unplugged though.
