Erik's "Third Bridge" Bass VI / Baritone Guitar

Whoah! Who would do something like this to an unsuspecting Jazzmaster body? 

Erik explains: 

About a year ago you showed my 'plank guitar' on your blog. I have been building some more strange guitars and here are some pictures of the last project. It is a so-called third bridge guitar with baritone neck and Bass VI strings. Those were the only strings I could find with sufficient length. With a circular saw I cut the body in two pieces, add some wood and glued it all together. The extra wood was necessary to get enough length. There's a slight nod in the body to get enough tension on the strings. In the end I have to say: it plays and sound a lot better than I had previously thought! 

Greetings, Erik

Thanks Erik! I'm sure the Guitarz readership would love to hear how it sounds. Do you have any sound clips?
