"Hey mister, can we have our Ballback?"
Here's a screenshot from A Hard Day's Night. The four Beatles are making faces through a train door window. Their heads are stacked in a vertical line.

I think it's more like a modern 12-string guitar.

It does have frets, and it is a production model.
Jayemar Guitars Alma Archtop Model
New in 2021, the first hollow body Jayemar guitar! While reminiscent of classic mid-century jazz boxes, this model stretches the Alma shape to a 15 inch modern take on the archtop.

Maybe. I dunno about the F-hole placement, either.

Rick Turner designed that.

Here's what Croz thought of the guitar:
Here's David Crosby onstage with the guitar sometime in the 1970s. He's smiling at somebody to his left and giving them a thumbs up.

Bingham Millennium Falcon
Here's a picture of an older man sitting down and holding a guitar in his hands upside down, so the body is facing away from him. The man's name is Roger Bingham, and he built this guitar out of a Millennium Falcon model kit. It has two single-coil pickups and a Strat-style neck. He's also built guitars out of a Y-Wing and a B-Wing.

Let's not even talk about what EVH did to his Destroyer.
Eddie Van Halen's Ibanez Destroyer. He cut a big chunk out of the body behind the bridge, among other things. He said the guitar didn't sound right after he did that. I wonder why...

Guild did the whole "cut holes in your Explorer" thing first (and better).

Guild X100 Bladerunner
This is a picture of ten Guild X-100 Bladerunners laid out on a roughly rectangle shape. They're different colors: One white/black Four white/red Two black One black/yellow One burgundy One hot pink These guitars are yet another variation of the Explorer shape, but they have large triangles cut out of the body. (For any of the guitars that I've listed two colors on, the second color is inside the triangles.) They have one humbucker and a Floyd Rose.

It's not every day that a famous guitarist gets a company to make a new version of a guitar he used to have as a kid. The old version was weirder, though.

Guyatone LG50
Here's a picture of Richie Starkey playing a Guyatone LG50 electric guitar live at a concert in 1960. He was the drummer for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, but he played a little guitar as well, mostly A, D, and E. I dunno what happened to him after that, but I hope he's doing OK. The LG50 looks like a shrunken Les Paul with a Fender-ish neck. It's got two gold foil single-coil pickups and a harp tailpiece.

Needs more acrylic.

Teisco Spectrum 5 Acrylic
The Teisco Spectrum 5 has a bunch of neat features: split pickups, multiple switches for different tones, and a 4+2 split headstock. This specific one is also made out of acrylic instead of wood. Only 100 were made.
