@TheMusicEclectic I don't know if I have any room saying this since I have no experience in business planning, but perhaps you could show the design to the creators of "The Stick" and see if they could endorse or pay for your idea?
60 hours? That's like worth almost 3 days of work. It's still a lot. That would be like 60 days with 1 hour of work each day or 30 days of 2 hours each day. 20 days with 3 hours and 12 if you worked 5 hours on it per day. So... it's still very time consuming. That was a job well done.
heres the secret of writing a full length musical piece. Make lots of short pieces and when you have a bunch put them togheter as u see fit, use a sledge hammer and crazyglue if you must.

I like how the two pickups are sent through the L and R channels for that cool stereo effect.

Is it easy enough to get a course in "luthiery" as it is something i would love to do.

It must be living hell to change the strings and tune it.

The tone is fine, but most of all I'd say that it looks good. Do think about producing/selling more of them!

It has 12 strings in two courses. Each course is tuned to guitar intervals and are an octave apart. Thank you.

I'm glad you found the nomenclature I use to describe touch-guitar tunings convenient. Congratulations on you build!

Are you interested in producing them for sale ? I am quite interested.

I hope to one day I will sell a more refined version - but I need to evolve the design. There are a lot of little design refinements that are needed.
With my life being as busy as it is, it will probably be two years or more before I build another one.
Thank you for the inquiry.

@TheMusicEclectic
what are these little things that need refinement, the guitar sure looks and sounds perfect... :-s...

I am guessing that you are an experienced luthier,but if you weren`t,how hard is to design an build your own stringed instrument?
JohnnyGTar 2 years ago
I spent more time in designing and planning than in making it. The actual making of the instrument took about 60 hours.

This instrument looks like an ancient discovery... and it seems to be shorter than a modern Stick. Good work!

You have built an amazing instrument. I love the sound and original design.

Cool design and look for the instrument.

It sounds like it should be an intro to something (I can relate because I'm the king of writing 1/3 of a song) so I encourage you to take it further!
