And, on the subject of ludicrous guitars made by Hamer, Distortion That Rocks (a new guitar gear blog by Vince from Gizmodo) post about the Hamer Virtuoso. Twenty were produced between 1987 and 1991, and it has 36 frets (they normally have 22-24, keyboard players). No word on whether it came with it's own set of custom toothpics for reaching those high notes. One recently appeared on eBay (#7376189183) with a starting bid of $4,650, although the auction was pulled by it's zero-feedback vendor 'because the item was lost or broken'...
