Hi folks,

I just stumbled over that electric guitar design project. A client asked to have an electric guitar being built with bass strings and normal guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-h-e). He tried this with a couple of Steinbergers, but eventually broke every neck... When I heard about the project, I thought: impossible. This guy made it possible! I have played the guitar myself. Very interesting concept. Probably NOT for the average player, though. LOL
Enjoy,
Holger
