Bizarre & Amazing Musical Instruments You Never Knew Existed

The Pikasso Guitar

This one may look like something for many-limbed aliens to play, but it is in fact, a fairly popular form of the guitar that was created by Linda Manzer. She is also the creator of many other types of guitar such as the harp guitar, the flat top guitar, the sitar guitar – around 50 guitar prototypes in all!
