Looks cool, but looks heavy almost like you would be holding a tabletop shelf, in which case you could put it on stand and it's already a tabletop

zen riffer was one of those annoying form over function things for me



who the h**l wants to play a keytar like a double bass?

The first one looks really interesting. Real strings, nice. A long time ago I wanted to make a keyboard instrument with a Clavinet/harpsichord action, but with 60 guitar length strings and 10 humbuckers, 60 grover tuning pegs And a big steel slide mechanism over the strings to bend notes. Called it a keytar, but that term seems to belong to those remote MIDI's now.
Here is a somewhat badass one I picked up:

Really nice finish. A sunburst like a Fender and maple neck with a Fender style knurled metal volume knob. Serial #004, probably not many made?

Did make a cool guitar shaped custom Moog 1150 ribbon controller. A little past badass?

is the body really nescessary? i'd love to just strap up the ribbon by itself,

for the even further than steinberger look

a video of the keytar in action

The nerve of these guys totally stealing my idea!



At least they didn't put a theremin and an iron on it or I'd have to sue.

Barf. Those guys still trying to make videos. At least none of them were in the video failing it up. Those girls totally laughed at them.
