Hi,
 
Another guitar just like all the others? (Just curious!)

No, it's a Variax.

It's a guitar that electronically 'models' many guitars, both electric and acoustic (6 and 12 string) as well as a banjo and sitar. And to boot it can just be a plain old electric guitar.
 
It can also electronically make your guitar play in alternate tuning without actually changing the string tunings.
 
I have one and it's very versatile.

I had the guts of one inside a custom guitar.  I'd love another, especially one with all the acoustic models.  Ok, one of each!

I have a Peavey AT200.  Similar concept using autotune tech.  They're fun, but alt tuneings can mess with your head if you don't have the amp turned up loud enough.

Thanks for the explanation in English ... I looked at it, and thought ... what's the difference?
 
Only weird thing for me, is that the shape has to be the same as anything else ... weird to see an instrument look the same, and supposedly be different ... the idea itself is scary ... let's try a flute in aluminum, instead of steel, and then in iron ... think it will sound good? How about in wood?
 
But electronic, yeah ... I can see it ... but I would have modeled it after a space science rocket by Warner Bros (Chuck Jones is the inspiration!), instead of another tired guitar look. Weird, but those Hofner's and Steinberger's don't sound bad in the hands of many folks ... because of their shape!
