Denizen Maxwell. Thanks
to its highly carved back and aerodynamically
styled horns, this Maxwell electric guitar hurled
by a spear thrower would turn through the air
like a flying auger, twisting and writhing until
it met its target. The body is fully chambered
and resonant, but qualifies as a semi-solid-body.
The headstock is adorned with a picture of an
octopus struggling in a breaking wave, engraved
into thick tortoise-shell celluloid.
