No practical use for it but it would look great on the wall.

I have no use for it whatsoever, but that's awesome.

+1.

Really like it, other than I wouldn't know what to do with it. Those tuners are the schiznit.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Officially the only Duesenberg that I've liked.

Looks cool. Definitely a niche instrument.

Not my cuppa.

 

[jaxn slim]

That's pretty neat.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Interesting, but like every other Duesenberg I've seen, I'm sure it's insanely expensive, so I'll pass - especially since it's would be a bit of a novelty instrument for me.

 

[IamSeaDevil]

It's the love child of a Duesenburg and an Autoharp

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Very cool.
