Created by Buzz Kimball, it is extremely hard to classify these 'third bridge' guitars, be they 'harmonic' or 'noise' guitars.

The two on the left are closely based on Glenn Branca's specification. The Third guitar moveable 3rd bridges (from Buzz's own original design from the late seventies) and the rightmost is an "electro-drone", which most resembles an electric tromba-marina type sound.
