Adjustable bass sting from bass to baritone to standard scale lengths. Use this unique set up of the 7th string for slide, extension of open tunings, or as a drone string. Andrew has been working with Jeff for some time now, not only on this guitar, but doing other odds and ends as well. The 7th string on this guitar has evolved from looking into and researching harp guitars. The idea for the 7th string was influenced by Jeff's own vintage Gibson harp guitar.

The scale length can be changed easily and quickly bcecause the 7th string floats and does not interfere with the frets causing intonation problems. As far as we can tell, this is the only guitar of it's kind in the world.
