What The ...?!?

I took 2 Screenshots. It's certainly an EBMM, but what's the story behind it? Looks pretty Unique and Interesting.

I believe I recall BP telling us about this guitar/sitar in the past. But I can't seem to find any reference in search results.

What kind of Floyd Rose is that btw?
It looks pretty big compared to the Floyds EBMM usually come with.
I kinda like the Binding, the shape not so much...
They should do a PDN with Stainless True Temperament Frets :D

Some sort of JP 7 variant with a harpsichord attached...????

--Stu Hamm... definitely a monster player with his own thing going on. I've got his first 3 solo albums = highly recommended!

I remember when this was built. I had forgotten about it, and it's the first time I've seen it.. Look at the guitar part and imagine a Music Man jem.. Wow!!!! Jamie

This took dudley almost three years Thanks for the ugly comment. It is really an amazing instrument it is a fully functional electric sitar and the engineering was amongst the most difficult we have ever tackled...all those strings are sympathetic and there are some details that we really dont talk about but he has total control of every string

Dudley is amazing! It's not ugly, it's just different.
Does the Top Sitar Part come off? Can you share some better Pics BP?
