Relatively Unknown Guitars You Play(ed)

I've bought and sold over hundred guitars over the years and thought I'd share a strange one.
Anyone else have something, "weird?"
Not just a copy of, but something that spoke to you - You gotta try me.
I love hollow bodies. This a heavily chambered.
So when I saw this, I bought it.
The switches are on/off for the pups with the one tone and volume.
The pups ended up being too trebly for me, but they looked intriguing.

JU-187

By the time of the Battle of Britain, the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka had proved very vulnerable to enemy fighters and needed a replacement; after the rejection of the Ju 87F proposal, a new dive bomber was designed under the designation Ju 187.

The projected aircraft kept some of the features of the earlier Ju 87, such as the inverted gull wing and two-man crew. It would have added retractable landing gear, the nose of the aircraft would have been elongated for a better view for the pilot, as well as improved armour and armament. Most notably, the Ju 187 incorporated a rotating vertical tail. When rotated down, the tail would give the air gunner, armed with a rear turret, an unobstructed field of fire. It is not known how the aircraft would have handled with the tail rotated.

Scan Lines?

I have a countercade MKII and noticed an option for scan lines.
Why would you want scan lines on an lcd screen?
Is it just nostalgia? Or does it actually look better?

Special features of the F-107A included an engine air intake above the cockpit, an all-moving vertical fin, and a system (called a Variable Area Inlet Duct) that automatically controlled the amount of air fed to the jet engine.

Do You Look for the Tiny Eggs?

A lot of the maps have little easter eggs in the form of posters on the wall or storefronts signs.
On Canal there is a Supermarket, but the U was destroyed. Welcome to Spermarket.

Or my favorite place to shop.
Anyone need me to pick something up for them?

Allow me to explain.
What I'd like to do is use the Player 2 joystick with Player 1 buttons.
How do left handed people play when everything right hand oriented?

I have limited dexterity in my right hand so I'd like to use the joystick with the limited hand.
Right hand joystick and left hand on buttons.

I could swap wiring harnesses on the joysticks but I was wondering if there was a software mod.
Thanks in advance.
