2. I've seen a photo of that before.
I wonder if those two wider unfretted necks are meant to be tuned in sympaty rather than played. :shrug:

The bass strings running across the lower bout are just ludicrous, though.

3. I saw Methaney play it on
Ramsey Lewis's Jazz show. It has a wonderful sound and yes, most of the strings are sympathetic strings designed primaruly to vibrate and not be plucked directly,

This is alink to the designer's website

7. Wasn't Mac JL's drummer?
And what the SHIT is that thing? I would hook it up to a RAT and 7 full Randall stacks and see what comes out.
