Wow, Kule guitar! Except for part of the body shape; well, mostly the bout, and the… uh - toes… it reminds me a little of my Gibson Corvus (1983 Corvus III), with the three single coil pickups, etc. I love just about any guitar with an animal related name: Fender Jaguar, Gretsch White Penguin, Gibson Firebird - the list is not so short, really.

FYI - bass guitars USED to always have only four strings. Since the 1990s, though, it’s become quite common for them to have five, six, or even more strings. One of my co-workers has a 7 string bass. A bit excessive, IMO. Electric guitars are often made in 7 string versions these days also. Personally, I think four is plenty for bass, and six for guitar.

Man, I’d love to strum that bigfoot! LOL!

Thanks guys for pointing out the stupidity of my query
It is really a beautiful instrument, the maker is a true craftsman.

Is it a guitar, or a bass?

Imagine having Bigfoot as an unlockable character of ‘Guitar Hero IV’. Sweet!

It is a guitar. Bass has 4 strings. Guitar has 6 as I’m sure you know but just overlooked looking at the strings. Anyway, how awesome is that! Are those available for purchase do you know Loren? I would love to have that. Though I’m not any good. Still would be KOOL!

The guitar appears to have been made by a guy named George Marlin. After a quick Google search, seems he is an independent guitar maker/designer.

That is what we would call a six string, a bass has four or five strings, depending on what type of music you play. In other words it is a guitar. Does anybody know what company made the guitar?

I can’t resist. I bet you can make some good Toe Jams with that one! Get it? Toe Jam? LOL
That is quite the instrument. I actually just bought a new guitar myself. Pretty cool. Music and Cryptozoology, two of my favorite passions.
