With 52 strings: 3 different harps!
Lover neck is like a 6 string exept from the low E bass is
replaced by a 4 string bundle tuned in E & B.
These strings has a "buzz saddle" to produce the sitar like sound.
This neck is also scalloped - to get a sitar & veena feeling.
Middle neck is a 8 stringed guitar -
like a normal guitar with a B & F# bass string added.
Upper neck is a fretless soprano guitar tuned in A.
The unique guitar is created by worldfamous
canadian luthier Linda Manzer and we designed it together
during two years.
All my guitars are Manzers and they are divine intruments!
