NGD I darn done dun’it . 😂

So yeah I bought it . Couldn’t stand it tormenting me anymore . Lol
Now the thing is what can I do with it ?

I see the strings will need replacing their bronze something or other but the bass strings look old . Action a bit high saddle height not great . But neck angle good .

It has a 1 3/4 nut but string spacing is tighter then my other guitars , neck width is about 1/8 inch narrower then my Blueridge at the 12th fret which I’m tuning the Timberline to and it’s a noticeable difference.

No doubt I will have an adjustment curve with this . My playing position will be a bugger as I put the lower bout on top of my leg . This obviously puts the sub bass strings pretty much in my face and totally blocks the lower neck . Lol

Forming some chords will be a problem . Funny how pro players make it look so easy . Lol

Well long fingers do help , I’m not so lucky in that regard.

Over all it looks well built so we’ll see how it goes .

Wow, congrats! You're brave diving into the world of harp guitars! They sound so cool, but they definitely require a certain technique.

I think that could really suit your music style!! I'd be so confused I'd probably hurt myself...

Maybe you should start off on a harp ukulele.

 

[davismanLV]

I didn't even know that was a thing!!

the master himself. I can see Ray totally digging this type of instrument.

This thing should keep D'addario in business for a while.

Imagine what he could do with foot pedals attached!

Hedges grew up in OK, and I think the teacher pleaded with him to come play for his students. Pretty cool.

I don’t have a ceiling high enough to handle that thing . Lol

Thanks but I have a feeling it will take a bit of time . Figuring out what to tune the bass strings to with tunings might be a challenge. Lol
