Default Harp Guitars

Finger come on.
You are correct in thinking that a few extra strings are OK, but are they necessary?
If you look at the first African Guitar/lute/ gourd backed thing/sort of instrument and listern to one being played ( look it up) you will if you are a musician be stunned by the tone and skill needed to play these when GOD was a boy.
So, Finger, always embrace a acoustic instrument, listen to everything you can and when you have done that you will be able to make a useful judgement
In the meantime just play, get better and your life will cjnage

On the other side of things a nice bassy drone note ringing in the background would give a song that nice full sound hmmmmmmmmm.
