Cautiously...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Ouch, that string action looks painful.
I don't see spike's on the back, so as long as you played finger style, standing up, with your right elbow sort of extended out so you don't get spiked... it should be doable.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

The spikes on your sleeves need to be long enough to keep you safe from the spikes on the bass ;D.

"How would you even play it?"

Painstakingly. Where there is a will, there is a way.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

And only one song with it all the time:

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
