So I just recently stumbled upon Eastwood and Eko guitars and I am 100% hooked. Ive come to realize I get quite the boner for weird tumor bodied guitars and am hoping you kind folks can point me in the direction of other unique shaped guitars (that are still in production). Any ideas? Please and thanks.
Btw here are links to Eastwood and Eko in case you dont know about them:

Tiesco
Airline
Kawai
Eko
Harmony
Silvertone
Galanti
Regal
Used to be a site called myrareguitars that had loads of info on vintage oddball guitars, but last I looked it had turned into a storefront for Eastwood.
EDIT: Looks like the old info is still there to some extent:

I like the look of the Galanti guitars, but I only found one on ebay. Seems like Eko and Eastwood are about all thats left.

Man, if you're in the Ukraine, I'd be hunting around for some of these old weirdo Eastern Block beauties like this Musima Elektrina:

This is what I was going to suggest. There have to be so many weird-ass guitars in your area.

It's a bass, but what the hell. Always one of my favorites.

It's an Ovation Magnum II.
All the cool weirdo guitars are either no longer in production or crazy expensive. Well, it seems like a lot of 'em are.

I saw some on Ebay, but not with the sliders, some have a different bodyshape..
