I can't stop laughing. I almost want to buy this thing just to check out the "exquisite thong". Ebay listing titled: "Electric Harp Left-handed Special Exquisite Thong Guitar Traditional Musical"...

The thong is one thing, but I think you could put someone's eye out with that head stock!

Traditional Issan (NE Thailand) instrument. You see many guys playing them for coin in Bangkok on street corners

It's got me thinking how less complicated my life would be with only three strings...

Kurt will disinherit you for saying things like that!

Quite a few guys here in Thailand spend their days chasing thongs and G-strings...

Thanks, that clears that up nicely! It didn't clarify the thong part though, and says the standard tuning doesn't include a G string. Lucky that an alternate tuning has a G string up the middle.

OMG, and I thought Primus was weird!

I am so confused is it an instrument or a weapon.

Believe me, everything is a weapon.

Is that Zamfir twerking while playing his pan flute?

I think he's doing the Time Warp. "It's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insa-a-a-a-a-ain"

I had to pause and really thing about whether I should click this link. It's fair to say it wasn't what I expected...

Damn, I just came here to make a joke about G strings, but someone’s already had that one

Believe me, everything is a weapon.

In fact, in Thailand especially you always have to check if the girl's are 'packing'
