Quadruple-Neck monster requires true guitar hero to play it
This has got to be a first. The Quadruple-Neck Guitar has now exploded on the scene, but the problem now is, who the heck will be able to do it justice? Contrary to the fake, musical-talent-free Guitar Hero paradigm, this ax requires quadruple skill, demanding that you have proficiency in the intricacies of playing a bluegrass band full of real instruments, including a guitar, bass, mandolin and banjo all in one.
One of these beasts was sold on eBay earlier this month for $255, an unusually low price even when combined with its huge $134.98 shipping tariff. Just the novelty value of hoisting one of these mothers onstage would be worth that much. Heck, just re-stringing the thing will cost you a fortune. Outrageous. If you can really play this baby — and I mean all of it — you’re my hero.

Obviously you have never seen Rick Neilsen's (Cheap Trick) quint-neck Hamer guitar that he has played for over 30 years.
Now get off my lawn!

"this is kind of guitar has been around for years. you guys are idiots"
Hurrah! Ignorance of the difference between instruments FTW!
I'd like to see a version with a lute added as well. Pretty whup-ass all the way around. This should make it's way to one of the "Re-stringing contests" the luthiers have...

So they took a vintage Carvin doubleneck, cut it in half, added banjo and mandolin necks in the middle, glued it all up, slapped some paint on it and shipped it out the door. Interesting (at best).
For a real restringing nightmare, I can't imagine anything worse than Pat Metheney's Pickasso.

By zach at 10:55 PM ON 11/26/08
I agree with james...u have to be a guitar no-lifer to ever dream of playing this thing with any measure of skill...its a novelty, not an instrument
By webwillie at 7:07 PM ON 12/02/08
Better have a good back. Whole thing is stupid.
By Peelster1 at 6:35 PM ON 12/08/08
Yea the one on Guitar Hero had 3 necks not 4. Also don't diss Guitar Hero it is a pretty good game. This Guitar is really fake though. Stupidest article EVER!!! Well... maybe not EVER...
By Ste at 1:55 PM ON 12/11/08
1 - Real Guitar Heroes play real guitars.
2 - Man, that thing is ugly
3 - Guitar Hero is nothing like playing a real guitar. Playing real guitar is awesome. Guitar Hero sucks ass.

Woop Yay
By ROFLCOPTER at 8:59 AM ON 12/31/08
Guitar... bass... mandolin... banjo...
Now, the guitar and the bass, I can understand, but last I heard, multi-necked guitars were used in ROCK bands. No one, in their right mind, would EVER use a banjo or a mandolin in rock. Well, the banjo is an exception for the Dropkick Murphys... but they suck. But still, a banjo and a mandolin are totally unnessecary, and four necks only makes the guitar a novelty, as Zach said.

By Shavek at 6:42 AM ON 02/06/09
ROFLCOPTER...have you heard of System of a Down?
they use a mandolin in the song Chop Suey..but seriously who needs a 4 necked guitar?
btw those of you who say guitar hero is lame...you don't criticize people for playing war games and tell them to join the army or who play racing games and tell them to go drive really fast. guitar hero isn't like playing real guitar or for people who can't play guitar. its just for fun. =P
