I admit I love crazy instruments. I would guess that keeping this one in tune would be....Interesting. It's a fairly common practice, especially on skinny-neck electrics, to use the neck for a "whammy" of sorts; with the caveat that you can always break the neck off...
Love the creativity. I'm curious why people go for patents on such strange items. It's not likely to be a commercial enterprise worthy of the expense. Maybe just for personal satisfaction, but it seems an expensive way to go about it.
It is always enjoyable to see people being creative and crafty too, but certainly not my cup of tea. It seems to me, it is going to get old very quick. You can't use a wha all the time. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
Sure is different looking. Seems like it would be very hard to play. Think I'd rather just have a whammy bar? Looks like very nice craftsmanship and creative designs.

Unusual improvisation on an unusual instrument. I find it interesting. Fire up the band and let her rip!
I think it would be a cool alternative instrument to whip out for a couple of songs.
