No, I'm not going to talk about the real ancient beings (I couldn't care less anyway). It's about guitar. Heard of Depapepe? If you haven't, here's one of their Live shows.
Well, why dinosaur? The guitar of the guy on the left in the video (his name is Miura Takuya aka Depa) is named as Dinosaurs Special. I think it is a customised jumbo guitar by Yamaha just for him. This is his Yamaha Dinosaurs Special.
Now we know why it is named as Dinosaurs Special. The 'special' feature in this guitar is at its cutaway.
Part of the cutaway is further curved in so that it gives him an easier upper frets access. Now, come to think of it... Most acoustic guitars only have 20 frets. His comes with an extra 2 frets at his first 3 strings. If you watch his playing carefully in the video above, you will realise why this feature is important for him!
