SKU: GS1870624 Harp Guitar - Italian spruce top - Sycamore back and sides - Cutaway - Seven sub basses - Ebony binding with black/white/black purfling - Cool Mackintosh inspired design - This is the fourth Kathy Wingert Harp Guitar. I was greatly inspired by my experience building my first two instruments and wanted to try my hand at playing one. Stephen Bennett offered the best advice saying to just play and don't think too much about the subs. I'm still too unfamiliar to have much success just ignoring all those beautiful extra strings, but I'm having a lot of fun arranging very simple melodies with basses, simple exercises to get acquainted with the spacing, and finding ways to adapt what I already know to the beautiful instrument. The amazing design (trust me, pictures don't do it justice) was a continuation of our fascination with the work of Margaret McDonald and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Jimmi drew up the design and created the overlays for the harp head and headstock. I did the inlay in the spruce of the harp arm itself, and Jimmi created and cut the rose for the harp arm soundhole.
