Bassimer?

Interesting...   The guy might want to hire a frontman for his demos though.  He looks like he's miserable playing the thing.

Info from the website:
 
The Bassimer? plays like a reverse dulcimer, but on a bass/guitar neck.  The neck has a 30 scale with 4 strings spaced like a bass.  This means that you can reach more frets and still have room to work between strings.  The 1st string is fretless and the 4th and 5th strings are like a 12 string guitar setup.   Another important feature is the built in sustainer on the D2/D3 double coursestrings.   This allows for a Cello/String sound that can be played as a background drone or a lead type melody.
