Hey Christopherius, you thought you had trouble finding a guitar stand? Hah, imagine trying to find a hard case for one of those.....!

:D :D :D

And you thought a 12 string hard to tune......???

I wonder if they are real or just PhotoShop? Looks impossible to even hold them so they can be used.

However there are very real "harp guitars" out there which have extra sets of bass strings which aren't fretted but are used as very low bass notes by the player when needed.

well all the instruments on that site are supposed to be real. i don't think it was photoshopped. that thing would be a real pain
to tune.

Nice playing by Mckee. I would have been better than him, but so unfortunately, they don't make any left-handed harp guitars.

I think it would be really interesting to learn to play one of those harp guitars.

On the other hand, I have a hard enough time with just six strings... :wink:
