Check this out guys... forget 12-strings, this is a 42-string acoustic guitar played by Pat Metheny!

http://www.guitarstringguide.com/drupal ... ng-picasso

Have Fender custom shop ever done any weird "specials"? I know twin and triple necks were popular in the 80s, and I once saw a 4-neck special... is that as far as it goes, or are there any weirder ones?

Hehe... I make that 72 strings - beats mine by a mile!

Is it for real, or is it a photoshop trick?

It is real, and not even his most interesting work. Take a moment to check out some of his more recent stuff that plays with the conventions of rock music, especially the "Soul Effecter" and "MXR" series. Stompboxes that don't just change your sound, they change your life.

I saw Pat Metheny in concert - The Secret Story Tour. Although he didn't pull out the Picasso he still put on a wonderful and exciting show. If anyone ever get the chance to see him, it is well worth your money. The Secret Story album is a great piece of work too, give it a try...........

I want to see every second neck of this being played at the same time (every neck would get crowded--but every second one should work.)
