Compilation of Unusual Transforming Guitars from Around the World (11–20)
Turbulence
Most electric guitars have 21 to 24 frets, with even the high end around 27, but this Gary Kramer Turbulence has a whopping 36 frets, right up to the bridge pickup! It was also sold under the name Delta Wing F-1.
The body has a distinctive, unconventional shape, likely designed to make the high register easier to play.
Axe
This isn’t a guitar but a bass—the axe-shaped Axe Bass favored by Gene Simmons of KISS.
When you think of KISS, many people probably picture this instrument, right? Its look and performance feel like the very essence of a rock show.
Cloud Guitar
As for the uniquely shaped guitars Prince favored, the Cloud Guitar is also well-known.
Its distinctive design evokes the image of a cloud.
SUGIZO of LUNA SEA also used a guitar with a similar design for a time.
Distortocaster
This is the Bender Distortocaster, a shocking-looking guitar whose name riffs on the Fender Stratocaster.
It looks as if the Stratocaster itself—and even space-time around it—has been bent out of shape.
Not only the body, but the headstock and neck are curved as far as playability allows, reflecting the designer’s attention to detail.
G-707
This guitar has the body and head connected by a stabilizer.
You can play it as an electric guitar, but strictly speaking it’s a “guitar-shaped synth controller” that lets you connect a synthesizer and output the synth sound along with the guitar sound.
