OK, I went into this skeptically but that was about the coolest video I've seen in a long time. I'll embed it below.

I could make so many statements about what makes this thing so great but the video speaks for itself:

Just when I thought I was getting pretty good on the guitar, along comes a guy that can make a shovel sound better than me.

Er, that's not a shovel, it's a spade - let's call a spade a spade.


edit: I'm wrong it is a long blade shovel. Doesn't matter, but similar style to Seasick Steve's 3 string -

In this one instance, I will agree that the headstock strap attachment makes the most sense.

I believe it's a painted carbon fiber handle.
