Thankfully in this time of financial fears and global glumness someone has a sense of humour, or maybe they don’t and they are really serious? I’m not sure but the guitar pictured left is called the ‘Anubis’. Anubis according to the ever useful Wikipedia was a jackal-headed human who was often shown attending to the mummies of the deceased or sitting atop a tomb protecting it. In fact, during embalming, the “head embalmer” wore an Anubis costume. Although Anubis wasn’t usually depicted with such a long neck!
This guitar is actually part of a series, other Egyptian figures include Apophis, Bast, Horus and Osiris whose lovely golden Bigsby tremelo falls in quite an unfortunate place!
The guitar has an African Mahongany body and a Maple neck with one of the craziest headstock designs I’ve ever seen. Also the Ebony fingerboard has hand cut abalone inlays and these of course are Pyramid inlays! All the hardware is Gold of course and the guitar is hand painted, signed and dated.
