Dresden 13-string guitar

[Boepyne]

That really is a beautiful instrument both in looks and sound.

[moneyquickeasy]

That thing is ugly

[mobman47]

Please tell me you have a CD with some of those songs recorded :O

[TheScurvyNinja]

very very awesome. I would love to learn to play lute music :P

[filiusluciferi]

One word: WANT.

[center77]

Looks and sounds beautiful. How did you know how thick to make the top and or braces ? I am assuming you would need a little more wood for 13 strings.

[michaeljking]

open string heaven.....

[JOHNORULES69]

wow that looks strange lol very interesting

[wildwestpoint]

why not play a harp?

[avery000]

@wildwestpoint they do have harp guitars

[Guitareben]

@wildwestpoint Because then he wouldn't be playing a guitar?

[wildwestpoint]

i thought a 10 string guitar is too much! now i see a 13 string!! why not play a harp?

[ImpendentSorrowHeart]

Your neck needs fooooood.. Because the other strings would be useless.

[ClassicalGuitar1111]

Fascinating.

It sounds very good.

[NuMetalGrunge]

are the bottom strings just for resonance? i want one with a full fretboard

[JMichaelThames]

@NuMetalGrunge Go to my website click contact and I'll send you photos of one with the fingerboard spanning all 13 strings.

[gnortznitz]

That is a lot of guitar.

[JACKOFMAPLEJANDY]

@Pwnersupreme how fast though? you dont need to sweep to be a good guitarist btw..

[JACKOFMAPLEJANDY]

@Pwnersupreme hahahahahahahahahahaha i love how much people on youtube lie

[spheremaster90]

I'd like to see somebody attempt (and most likely fail) sweeping on that thing!

[schecterman123]

@spheremaster90 probably not that hard tbh. Tune so you could roll the sweep over the 12th fret harmonic on the bottom 5 strings then tune standard E from there and adapt the sweep acording to the major/minor inversion of the first 5 notes

[center77]

Those low notes are nice. Beautiful instrument, great sound.

[classicalmannick101]

awesome guitar - what is its feasible range?

[JYZProductions]

would love to have the tabs for what he played

[llibmahargtube]

Thank you, Michael, for this very informative and interesting video about your beautiful instrument. Your video is very well thought out. I like the fact that you paid attention to backgrounds, something most folks don't think about. --Bill :~)

[Mod74]

This is a very well thought out instrument, I wish I had more disposable income right now because I'd order one of these in a second! Hopefully, in a couple of years, please don't stop building them!

[Peace1violence0]

I love it!!! the guy claims he made this guitar to play a certain type of music.... who's he kidding... everybody knows he made the guitar to have the one with the most strings! :)

[Tritono9]

ok and when you have most strings what do you have? more options, more notes to play certain type of music. morte notes = more fun, more sounds, more options!!!, more music

[patrickhufschmid]

dear mister Thames, congratulations on your amazing creation, this is absolutely incredible!!!!

[trevormorgan100]

wow! beautiful instrument!

[opidacul]

looks like Gilbert tuners. coooollll guitarrrrrrrrrr

[MrGrandProductions]

Marvelous friend Tashi, I love seeing a master at the top of his game!

[classicalseth]

Michael I love this video. I really do want one of these one day. I think this one may even sound better than the one at Akron....congrats!

[yannisab76]

Excellent video and i simply LOVE the guitar.

[RobynannV]

amazing video and playing!!!!

[ZigJuanZag]

i would like to try it, never hear it in some other style like flamenco or any other style

[kc0dxf]

Very nice video Michael.  It is a fascinating instrument and obviously very well thought out. I wonder if any modern composers could become interested in writing for it?
