My buddy went to Japan a while back and sent me this picture taken in a Japanese music store. It got me thinking about the wide range of body styles way beyond the norm that exist-- and hence this guitar blog post of the craziest, most amazing and most hilarious guitar shapes...
It is well known that a number of guitarists are closet nerds (Led Zep and Lord of the Rings anyone?) It is not surprising that fantasy shapes abound, from Yngwie's astonishing custom (below) to many dragon-esge motifs. Also seen are macabre and hellish themes..
Some shapes are just too cheesy to be believed:
And others are downright violent:
BC Rich guitars, popularized by Slayer's Kerry King have been synonymous with thrash and are known as much for their wild shapes as their tone.
The speed player Michael Angelo Batio is known for popularizing multineck guitars
But 5 necks?! Now that's just crazy....!
I couldn't resist throwing in what have to be the manliest guitars of all time, including the legendary Wangcaster!

The sword is the most epic. That's for sure. Especially since it has a hard shell case molded for it.
