Has anyone had such a beast made? If so are there pictorial representations?

My lust for "just one more" has been getting to me again lately.

Damn... tried to cancel that first one as I color corrected the fretboard a little. Oh well.

Headstock might be a bit long and fragile, so one might consider a 4+1 tuner config. The in-line five does maintain the claw better, though.

Interesting electronics package. What are you planning? if this was my project, I'd like to see some wood behind the tailpiece. I've sometimes thought about a 5 string dragon wing or possibly an exploiter body shape. Wonder if there's ever been one made.
