A six string banjo tuned like a guitar...
The sound from it is immense, But it was £600 :-(

I have (somewhere) a Framus 12 string banjo. Takes a week to restring and tune, weighs a ton and is truly horrible!

was the first line of George Formby's little known 1924 hit "Eeeeee..by 'eck, y'wanker..."
The chorus ran: "Turned out nice again....E=MC2"

I'm an ugly motherfucker
and a truly awful singer
I ply my trade in blackpool docks
singer for my supper
or sucking sailers cocks
Eee by 'eck you wanker
go and fuck yourself
I'm a cheeky northern bastard
and i live on a small shelf*
*ran out of rhymes there, sorry
and it doesn't scan that well either

Brought tears to my eyes...Formby often claimed to run out of rhymes. He has since been exposed as an opium fiend.
I think the song featured in the 1927 black and white talkie "Wahey, Mrs Brown - Time for Frottage" ?
You'll remember the wanking scene.
