Do I need one? No
Is it anywhere close to my price range? No
If it was would I buy it? No
Are the purists gonna want one? No
Are the kids gonna want one? No

Is it a cool idea of something I've never seen before? Yes
If I knew someone with one would I be jealous? Yes
Could this inspire the future owner to cut a record differently than they otherwise would have? Yes, but it's probably going to a collector.

Does the thought of changing its string's deter.me from wanting it? Yes.

Cool idea though.

hard pass.

 

[GuitarStv]

I kinda want to play with it for a few hours. But no real desire to own it.

I can't really tell what I am looking at here...

Sure you can. An Explorer with 2 sets of Steinberger tuners and a T-bird pickup.

 

[eclecticsynergy]

Novel idea, definitely a good example of outside-the-box thinking.
Not something I'd want, but I can see how it could be kinda cool to have available.

I somehow doubt it stays in tune on both sides....

Look again. There are 12 strings on it.

What's the point of the pickup behind the tail piece?

To charge more money.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Well, I'd just have put a pup on the headstock between the tuners for pretty much the same sweet tonal effect and called it a day..

 

[Seashore]

I would dig trying this. The idea makes sense to me. I guess it would come down to how well I could integrate the harp strings into everything else I play, it would be easy for this to just be a gimmick but it's got potential to be more.

The finish is hideous and it's way overpriced. It would be overpriced at half that. But, fun idea.

They're separate strings with separate tuners, not the same as whatever weird high notes you wind up with behind the nut.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

It's an interesting idea, but I doubt that third pickup chuggs.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

You won't know for sure unless you buy it for just $6,499 :bigthumb:

Ah, I missed that. Makes more sense...I guess? I'd like to hear someone who knows how to use it play it-if there IS anyone who knows how to play it?

I didn't see another set of strings either. That still doesn't explain the post bridge pickup. I vote chipper.

Seriously, Dave - I thought you were smarter than that.
Or maybe you need new glasses.
