Creepy guitar made from the body of a teenage girl

The Teenar was a 1986 art project by Lou Reimuller (yes, that's him in the middle picture). It's made from a vintage shop window dummy. Previous creepy, slightly NSFW guitars here and here. .. (Thanks to Boing Boing, and whoever sent this to me yesterday - I deleted your post because I saw 'Teenar' in the subject line and thought it was spam...)

    I think I'll stick with my vintage Wangcaster for now.

    Teenar needs a Kaos pad you know where!

    Amazing, this was in Richmond? I've been living here for 20+ years and have never seen that guy or guitar...

    I'm just wondering... where exactly do you shove in your 1/4" jack? I think that space for the Kaos pad may already be populated.

    Anyway, doesn't it seem to be a recurring theme that guys who make these "Gee-Whiz" axes are never actually gigging? I remember deciding I wanted to play guitars, not make them.

    Nifty idea.

    Ah that's pretty sinister to say the least! Kind of Jake & Dinos Chapman-esque....

    The jack is on the back, on the left, above the waist of the pants. Look at the last picture on the page, which shows the guitar from the back.

    I wonder if this alters one's fingering technique.

    And I guess the 'G' spot is in a different place now.

    Very confusing!

    One of the sites says Lou the Teenar luthier is aka Sunset Lou.

    If I'm not mistaken, I saw him perform as half of a very bent folk duo, Sunset Lou and the Fabulous Datura. This was back pre-Teenar tho', circa 1984, at the Prism Coffeehouse in Charlottesville VA.

    It all kinda hazy now, but it's mostly the material and not any odd instrumentation that I remember. One song had the chorus "I guess they're human anyway . . ."

    If it's the same Sunset Lou, holy smoke.
