[motojosh]

For a guitar costing just south of $100,000, you'd think they'd include shipping...

Ugh. That makes my eyes hurt. My condolences to whoever has to play that.

String changes would be interesting!

[jaymarsch]

I’m still trying to get 6 strings to sound good. I’ll leave this masterpiece to a better player with a bigger bank account. I would love to hear it being played though.
Best,

Pat Metheny signature model.

I might be able to play a harp guitar if I worked at it but I could never play that thing.

[Wade Hampton]

I just imagine myself on a festival stage trying to play that instrument and the sun keeps going in and out of the clouds….

Case included?

[frankmcr]

Kind of amazing, though.

the result of a luthier with too much time on their hands - - -
and maybe from sniffing too much glue

I kinda think by the time you had one set of strings tuned, the others would be out again.

The story is that Pat Metheny asked Linda Manzer to build him a guitar with as many strings as possible, and this is what she came up with.

[Benjo]

Surprised Michael Hedges didn't get one too, seems like his kind of thing

[Racerbob]

Seems like an instrument only one person in the world could or would want to play.

[Jobe]

I really like this instrument but I wish it had more strings. Maybe 11 more.
