I don't get it.....I mean it's a beautiful work of art but I don't get it.

Wish there was a video available of it being played.

I included several things gratis because I have no idea of when I'll ever make anything like it again and I wanted them on the guitar. Even if I included those in my price to my client, I still lost money hand over fist. I'd have to double the price to make it worth my while. It's completely custom and requires a custom price above and beyond a guitar with me changing the appointments and carving a custom neck, scale length or fan-fret.

The custom case was $5K, the anodized aluminum tailpiece for the sitar was close to $3K (apparently), I can't begin to imagine what the final price might have been, but it sounds like a labor of love and passion and I'm sure the client is happy.

Here is the original Linda Manzer double neck guitar that inspired this one.

In my humble opinion, those are about the ugliest guitars I've ever seen. lol.

Thanks for the video RobertW. Jazz festival.......thaaaaat explains a lot!! But even with the video I still don't get it.

I'm with CTGull and TonyKgull on this one. Even though that Linda Manzer design serves the user's (Pat Metheny?) purpose, it is plain old ugly. Looked like bass strings for the low E & A strings on the 6 string portion of that Frankenguitar when they did a close up of the left hand.
