I like the looks of this one for some reason. It's interesting looking

I have no idea how one plays a 17 string guitar, but I'd be willing to play with it for a month to see if I can figure it out. It might be sturdy enough to let you reach below it and hold your full hand over the frets.

If anyone can figure it out, I'm one of those who probably could make it work.

The one you like reminds me of a 50s/early 60s Rickenbacker, though the exact model name escapes me.

And those specialty tools are not something I'm familiar with. Looking at them, I can kinda figure out what they're there for, but they're foreign to me. I strongly suspect my mechanics know how they work - and they probably have that tool in the shop. Or they'll have it if I have a timing issue in some of the more modern cars.

I, on the other hand, have never seen it before.

See? I don't know everything. I'm even willing to admit it when I don't know something!

The only reason I know about it is cause of the car I have.

THIS ONE IS COOL TOO

That too is a copy of another guitar, I think from the same company. They're pretty much all copies of other guitars, as that's what they do in China. Seldom do you see something truly original (in guitars) from any of these Asian countries.

It's not that they can't - it's that they want them to be able to sell. These are what sells. All those Asian countries have a huge history of crafting fine stringed instruments. So, they could easily make something new - and once in a blue moon they will.

They're generally good value from the cost - so I'm given to believe. My IYV Les Paul is really good for the price. In fact, it's exceptionally good for the price.

We're kinda in a guitar heyday, where you can get some pretty good instruments for not a whole lot of money.
