Comment by Jon Pruett on May 25, 2010 at 3:46pm: Wow - that's a beauty!

Comment by Michael Clark on May 23, 2010 at 1:46pm: Well, here it is. Not a traditional-looking harp guitar, but a harp guitar nonetheless (a guitar, in any of its acceptable forms, with any number of unstopped strings). The one-string neck is tuned to a low D. The inverted neck has 3 Ds, tuned in octaves. The 3-string neck is DAD. I opted to build it this way so I could stop strings on two different necks, the one-string with a slide and the 3-string with frets. The other three strings are just drones or random strings I can pluck along the way. Might stick a piezo in there someday, but the jar lid makes it pretty twangy and surprisingly loud for playing around on the couch. Sounds cool as hell. I also wanna say - GREAT, GREAT builds everyone. We should all be proud. This doubleneck thing was a blast. Hope you guys like it:
