Not sure if I should expect music or toast to come out of it.

The original version, yes. Definite elements of steam punk, which I can only guess is intentional.Vince wrote:It's very Buck Rogers innit?Danger Mouse wrote:Or if it should only be played on a rocket-powered air ship.Single coil wrote:Not sure if I should expect music or toast to come out of it.

Yes, someone else pointed that out. It looks a bit wide between the A and D strings, but it looks better in some of the other photos.
It's odd that such a major point went unnoticed until the pics hit the net, I wonder if it isn't something to do with the shot.
But If it's some old Japanese heap of junk then perhaps the strings really are out and always have been.
A friend also pointed out that it looks like they put a blank guitar neck on a bass body and drilled the four holes.
