This is the oldest sample of Hebrew text with European musical notation. It's an autograph manuscript of Obadiah the Proselyte, a Norman-Italian priest who converted to Judaism in 1102.

Weird Guitar of the Day @weirdguita.rs · 04/10/2026
Chevrier Harpo-lyre
This harpo-lyre was probably built by French luthier André Augustin Chevrier around 1830. It's got a round body and has three necks. If you look at the guitar with the necks pointing up and the body pointing down like it is in this picture, the left neck has seven strings and is tuned chromatically (A-B flat-B-c-d flat-d-e flat). The middle neck has six strings and is tuned like a normal guitar. The right neck has eight strings and is tuned diatonically (c'-d'-e'-f'-g'-a'-b'-c2). Each neck has its own small soundhole, the bridge is one long mustache-shaped piece, and the headstock is one of the wildest things I've ever seen. It comes out of the center neck and branches off into two curves. Each curve terminates where it meets the neck on that side. (Imagine a large, curved capital M, and you've got the idea.) Most of the tuners for the right and left necks are on top of the headstock curve, but each of those necks also has a tuner on each side of the headstock right above the nut. If I had to number the tuners like I normally do when I talk about a Les Paul's 3/3 headstock or whatever, this one would be a 1/5/1-3/3-1/6/1.

This was really high speed craziness through most of it, like the most ridiculous anime at a frantic pace. I enjoyed myself a lot, although the plot wrap-up is necessarily less insane than when new things are discovered. A movie that might have been about a gay couple in another timeline. Scary too.

Ibanez 2674, 2675, and 2676
The Ibanez 2674, 2675, and 2676 are all fancy Les Paul copies from the 1970s. I didn't know which one I wanted to post, so I picked all three. They all have the same basic Les Paul setup, with a single-cutaway body, two humbuckers, a volume knob and a tone knob for each pickup, and a 3-way switch. They also have what appears to be a coil tap switch. The most striking thing about each one is the fancy inlay work that covers the body. It's the same for each guitar, with a large flower behind the bridge and flowering vines that start at the knobs and follow the contour of the body all the way to the pickup switch.

This is the 2674. It's black and has two uncovered pickups. A vine inlay  runs all the way to the fretboard and onto the carved 3/3 headstock.This is the 2675. It's got a sunburst finish, one covered humbucker to go with the uncovered one, a fancy pickguard with a curl at the end, intricate fretboard inlays, and a 3/3 headstock shaped like one you'd see on a mandolin.This is the 2676. It's red and has gold hardware, two covered pickups, block inlays, and a 3/3 headstock that's closer to what you'd see on later Ibanez guitars.
