Thanks to Travis, Reid, Circuit Master, Andrew, Make and vvork for letting me know about the bonkers art of Yoshihiko Satoh. His 12-neck stratocaster is functional, and he's also made a pair of clock-like 12-neck circular guitars. See also: Pat Metheney's Pikasso - 4 necks, 42 strings. And guitar superdork, obviously.

With 72 strings, who needs frets? Hook up a keyboard, and we got us here a fine clavinet!
These clock-like 12 necks are great. Just tune each neck to an open chord, mount the guitar so that it can rotate, set up a fixed pick and spin the guitar around. Automatic chord progression!
Oh and find a way to attach a cable to a spinning guitar without getting all twisted up. Go wireless perhaps?
A couple of (too much) months ago , i accidentally came along this website . I got to tell you , crazy , but pretty useful , i like it , very experimentally :) You know , you can even detune every single "neck" ;)
(Joke) When you brake a string , just take the next arm (especially easy with the clock-like-12-neck) :D
Anyway , good luck & succes with these creations :)
