It is a Baritone Guitar, I liked the sound of those and thought I would make one. Having looked at the pictures, them high voltage things are pointing at a tender area, better be careful I think.

I think I'll wait for the Commando Combat, if you don't mind. Can you build a 750? And give it a Rickenbacker horseshoe exhaust system? I had one of those years ago and it was a great bike!
Very hot looking guitar dude!
I'm waitin'
