That is too cool. The sympathetic strings built in, plus they have their own capo too..! Brilliant body design and color scheme too.

Awesome! At first I was thinking, God, that thing looks great but it's huge, it soon became apparent why, what a cool idea.

The guitar allows you to dial up/down the drones from zero to full-on. Jeff kindly shared how he tunes the drones and why ....

Quote:
I tune them to intervals of the scale I’m playing on the melody strings. So if the top set are in Open E I tune the sympathetic strings E F# B D G# A. The fundamentals, octave overtones, fifth harmonic and major third of each sympathetic string ring strongly, so from that array of notes you get everything you need.
