       This one is so cool!

       It's electric again, but it's so, "out there", I think you guys would like seeing it!

Is that supposed to be a sitar type guitar with twelve sympathetic strings? Very interesting...no idea who built it but he/she is certainly innovative.

Tuning that thing would be a lot of work.

I remembered seeing something like it on the NAMM Oddities site, which
ended up linking me over to http://www.pick-uptheworld.com/LBG.htm
along the way somehow.

Congratulations - Jocafa Got it!

It's called a light Body! The guy supposedly built it from a breakfast nook which was before that a redwood table!

I has three positions for the 12 sympathetic strings through the neck to dampen or free them to sympothize!

Here's a link to better pix David Enke - Light Body

Here's a link to a MP3 Light Body MP3

Outstanding work in my book!
I wouldn't want to tune it!
