BIGGEST GUITAR IS PLAYED LIKE A BASS FIDDLE
Believed to be the world’s biggest guitar, this six-foot instrument, recently demonstrated in Chicago, combines the resonance of the bass fiddle and the tones of the guitar. The “Bassoguitar,” as the new instrument has been named, is played by slapping and plucking the strings like a bass fiddle.
Since it has only four strings, I’d say it IS a string bass.
It looks like a guitar, but that’s only cosmetic.

Would love to find one of these and take a sledge hammer to it. What an ugly piece of ****!
