Ok, I’ll get it started.. It had storage for beer & cigarettes in the legs, you could sew up a new pair of long pants for Fred Justice while you played, it had partial coverage to prevent anyone from looking up your skirt, it didn’t move around on the floor much, it used 80W90 for lubrication......

The man in the picture is Jay Harlin one of the 5 Harlin bros. The guitar is a predecessor to the Multi-kord. There is one similar to this one or maybe this one on display at Arthurs Music store in Indy

Pedals were set at an angle so you could use both feet and a cane.

The pedals were slightly askew so you get more tension notes in the key of C demolished

Wonder if it has a Cast Iron frame under that cover, No pedal rods pulling down on center of cabinet. Maybe first guitar with no cabinet drop.

Can be used in your exercise program as a hurdle, a weight bench or a weight. Can be used as a barricade in the Walmart Parking lot to protect your car.

An excellent trot line weight when fishing for whales or a good weight to take you to Davey Jones’ locker when you find out you gave $6000 for something you can’t play.

I’m having a lot of fun with this but thank you for posting it Mr Krumel. It was very interesting. I wish I could see how all the mechanicals worked.

this must be what the "saw horse" morphed into. Multi Kord evidently was made there in Ind.

I can only imagine the wonderful tones they produced, looking at that picture. I want to play in a band like that! Mr. Green
