[Spudman]

Those were from the Gibson factory in Poland.

 

[Mark]

Those are for outdoor gigs no guitar stand just stab it in the ground OR lawn dart of the musical flavorude:

 

[kerc]

Those are more aerodynamic.

 

[Jimi75]

Oh my god, how tasteless is this?
:nono:

 

[M29]

They went that-a-way!

M29

 

[Bloozcat]

Makes the guitar highly maneuverable with less drag at transonic speeds.....no wait a minute, that's a reverse swept wing jet aircraft....

 

[kerc]

That's for playing blues like Trebla Gnik.

LOL!

The perfect guitar for playing The Cry is Skying....

This guitar was featured as a limited edition back in 1984 and was designed after the Grumman Aircraft Corporation's X-29 aircraft. The new manufactured procedures used to produce this guitar design provided exceptional hand maneuverability, with a light weight structure, along with supersonic amplifier performance.

In reality there really was an X-29 aircraft. Two X-29 Forward Swept Wing aircraft were built as advanced concepts and technology demonstrators. The test program was conducted from 1984 to 1992 and provided an ample supply of engineering information which can be used for the design and development of future aircraft.

X-29 featured forward swept wings planted well in the back of the fuselage, and canards to control pitch and acted as horizontal stabilizers. This new wing design proved exceptional maneuverability, a light structure, and supersonic performance. The test results of this design showed excellent control response at angles of attack up to 45 degrees.

hmmmm kinda looks like a fish

 

[tjcurtin1]

Clearly, for the completely bass ackwards guitarist.....

To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel, "How much more backwards could it be? None. None more backwards."

 

[Spudman]

hmmmm kinda looks like a fish

Huh? Looks nothing like him.

 

[Katastrophe]

The sad thing was, I was on MF today, and they're sold out.

 

[stingx]

Really cheap guitars and guitars as nonsensical as this sadden me because perfectly good trees were killed to make them. I find no amusement here. :reallymad:

 

[pes_laul]

What's nonsensical about it? Guitars are waAAAaay too sensical as it is, too many tele, strat, & leslie clones in the world.

That is Fish, the legend (the bald dude). Ever hear of the band Marillion?
Sigh, my witty repartee is wasted on the youth.:thwap:

I got to see one of the X-29 prototypes when they brought it down to what was then the Grumman Plant nearby. I've got a tie tack of the X-29 that was given to me that day. Cool concept, but it didn't impress enough for a military production prototype to be requested. The Russians even tried a model that was remarkably similar to the X-29, but they dropped it too.

Actually, I'm thisclose to 40 and I thought the same thing that pes did.

Like Kat said. Now you know.

Are you referring to the Sukhoi S-37 Berkut?

Well, if not nonsensical, maybe just plain butt0ugly and ridiculous... bad design. Taking a good design and upending it or turning it inside out doesn't mean you'll end up with anything worthwhile - it's just lazy.

[Spudman]

Progressive. They have been around forever. Fish was their original singer. Steve Hogarth is currently the singer.
