Hi Don,

Will you be at Healdsburg? It would be great to meet up.

Wow that's amazing. So you have to avoid those harp strings while picking on the regular six strings don't you? I'm afraid that my arm is too short to do so, and I like to pick near the soundhole, it must look weird.

Looking great so far, Eric and Don!
Similiar to Duane Noble's version.
If you haven't seen his black HG, go to his website and take a look.......
Man that HG had me spending many a night trying to figure out how to finance it.. wow

If my memory serves I saw that at Healdsburg 2009. I still remember it well.

Trevor M · #41 04-12-2011, 01:21 PM

I checked the website and my photos from Healdsburg, its the same one. I can't post the photo because photobucket is under maintenance.

Eric,

Here are two links for you from harp guitar.net. As you scroll down, the first one contains photographs of current production harp guitars being made by some of the finest luthiers. The second link is of older harp guitars pre-1970s. Maybe something there will give you and your builder some ideas.
