I know there are more beautiful sounding guitars, but the history on this one is wonderful to know, and amazing to hear.

Has a lute quality but with better sustain.
Nice & bright, with great clarity.
Pretty impressive.

But it looks like it has 4 strings. I wish they gave us a good look at the instrument. Song was delightful though. K&R

from the video, it appears to be a 10 string although to my musician's ear, it sounds like only 5 strings. if you listen to it with laptop speakers,don't do dat, use headphones or at least buds.had no idea the dude made guitars!

but only has 9 on it. I wonder what the string notes are.... and what kind of scale it's in. It's a short neck too. Only goes up one octave.
