World's Smallest Functional Electric Guitar

In case you sometimes wonder why there are no rock bands with vertically-challenged people...there are a lot of possible reasons. Not that these individuals would somehow lack the needed skills for musical performance, but rather there aren't too much instruments made for the measure. As far as guitars are concerned, things are even worse as once with the downscaling of an instrument severe constructive problems appear rendering that instrument inaccurate and therefore no longer playable with proper results.

Well, it's time everybody could play serious rock as Hammacher Schlemmer has introduced the world's smallest fully functional and precise electric guitar, sporting a 26.5" total length, 6" width and 1.5" depth. Indeed, a guitar smaller than the very neck of any common electric guitar you can buy in shops, and yet retaining the punch and kick, as well as the precision of any Ibanez or Jackson you might already own.

This guitar sports really advanced engineering as its 20.25" scale is set on a body made from injection-molded high-impact polymer composite; this body sports "billions of tiny air bubbles that reproduce the cellular structure of wood, giving the guitar the same resonant properties of hardwoods used in standard-sized guitars without the expansion and contraction associated with wood " as Hammacher specifies.

This amazing jewel runs on a humbucker pickup (and therefore is sworn to rock) while sporting a coil-tap switch. The push-pull volume knob also regulates the tone control and this is why this small-scale beauty is pretty much like any serious heavy metal guitar around. The tuners are non-slip so your axe will stay in tune as you thrash around while the pre-formed strap hooks will let you attach a strap of your own choice. This 20-fret guitar also sports a very attractive design and has a 12" fret radius for convenient playing without any playing style changes needed.

It comes with a special carrying case and sells for just under $800. Rock on!
