I was rummaging through some old Popular Mechanics magazines and came across this.

     Let me give everybody advanced warning! I don't really know who the builder is, but have a really good guess. I just thought it was interesting!

     The makers "says" the pipes give the guitar interesting resonances especially when soloing. I don't know about that.

    Obviously, it's taking a long time to catch on if this was made in 1960. Oh! And they say the guitar can FLY! Billy T39018.0094328704

It looks like it could be hooked up to an air compresser and then function
as a pipe organ. It's a very cool guitar, and I'd love to play some of the
beautys shown in the background!

I'll guess Harvey Thomas

Did it come from Hesh's shop? Looks like something the alien might have helped on.

The guitar was made in Bavaria so that pretty much means Hofner. I ahve not been able to find any info on it other than that. It's kind of bizarre looking!
