What a fascinating instrument! I had to see if there were any videos, and of course there was.

A cool guitar and it has a lot of volume. The guy in the video is extremely annoying though.

What a unique and cool guitar and a steal at $29,500. Yes Phil X is a true knucklehead. Wish we could hear what a good Hawaiian player could do with it.

A monkey could have done a better, more appropriate demo of that historic instrument!

Now I know why I don't use a hollow chrome slide on my acoustic steels. (Or black nail polish on my fingernails.)

Here's the guitar itself on the Fretted Americana website.

I think they're asking too much ($29,500 USD) but then again where can you find another one?
