This ain’t no Mandolin, this is the new “Cheese Grater for Mad Musicians”!
Where string cheese sounds as good as it tastes.
Ugh, take it to TMP.
Also works great for slicing sausages, or fingers if the musician is too drunk or stoned to try to play this model.

you know everyone clicked on this link then acted like they knew all along that its a real instrument
How on Earth can anyone play that thing, when all the strings look like they run across each other? It must be hell on your fingers.
Metheney’s Pikasso.
That ain’t no mando either. Mandolin=8 strings. Guitar=6 or 12 strings.
That’s the 42-stringed Pikasso Guitar, technically a kind of harp guitar, created by Linda Manzer. Pat Metheny plays it.
Linda builds awesome guitars – wish I could get one; can’t even get on the waiting list!
Looks like John Paul Jones’s special instrument.
actually Pat Metheny uses that guitar
It’s a 42-string guitar called the Pikasso. Youtube has several (live) videos with Pat Metheny playing it. Just search for pikasso + metheny.
I’ve actually seen that somewhere – it was a list of over the top guitars. Only acoustic on the list- all the others were custom-paint job electrics, or even triple-neck electrics.
And as said before, this isn’t a mando. It’s mostly guitars, and I have no idea what those 13 strings on the side are. Some sort of harp?
That guitar was designed and is played by the famous musician Pat Metheny.

Also pretty to listen to.
That critter is owned by Pat Metheny. It is the Manzer Pikasso II

All the headstocks have 12 strings. Mandolins have either 8 or 10 strings.
Signed, a pedant.
This is actually a “guitar” that pat metheny uses. It’s called the picasso guitar simly because it’s inspiered of a picasso picture.
I remember seeing a man play this on youtube, it was a pretty good performance. Kind of experimental 80′s fooling, but I can’t for the life of me remember the specific video.
It’s called A Pikasso, and it’s very real:

That’s the Pikasso Guitar, custom made for Pat Metheny. Some links:

One more link to a good picture of it:

This is a custom-made version of what is known as a “Harp Guitar”. Obviously, the different fretboards are not meant to be played simultaneously, but alternately. The tuning of the different fretboards acts as a harmonic device that lends amazing overtones. They are incredible sounding. ~B~
It’s a Pikasso 42-string guitar played by jazz musician Pat Metheny.
It was a perfectly decent instrument, until the doctors tried to disassemble it.
Metheny reference WIN. He was awesome before “awesome” came into common usage.
Agreed 110%, sir.
I’m reminded of Diego Stocco’s Experibass
wasnt there something like this done in cg by animusic where it plays itself?
Yep; Resonant Chamber:
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! XD
Swiss Guitarmy Knife
LOL!
they found chuck Norris’s guitar!!
The 6-string guitar neck is a baritone (of which Metheny is also a master), and the Pikasso is a logical extension of the hybrid instruments that cropped up about a hundred years ago (banjitars, banjolins, ukelins, harp guitars, 12-strings, and all kinds of instrumental miscegenations). Of course, if they’d had CGI, nobody would have bothered.
I saw him play it in concert z0MG!!!
… Very beautiful n_n
The Manzer PIkasso! AWESOME!!!
6armed spiderman totally mastered this one
Can I play with- HOLY SH*T!
