I did not know until just now that science fiction writer John Scalzi owned the original of these rare guitars

I regret to inform you that no one will ever accuse me of buying musical instruments carefully

Fun fact: There are six Hutchins "Beast" guitars in the world: 2 red, 4 blue. I own the original, which is described and shown in this video, and which I purchased at auction in 2021. The second red one was put up for auction last year but did not sell.
