Behold the Electric Lute custom made by luthier Ian Schneller of Specimen Guitar Shop. Played here for the first time by Michiel Niessen who commissioned the instrument. The E-Lute now lives in Holland but you can read more and see tons of photos here: http://www.specimenproducts.com/instru/e_lute.html.

  • Could somebody tell me what the name of this piece is?

    I am looking for it, but I have no idea what to put in the search bar!

  • Here is the info on the piece played.

    Fantasie 6 by Gregorio Huwet of Antwerpe

    (full title: "Composed by the most famous Gregorio Huwet of Antwerpe : Lutenist to the most high and mightie Henericus Iulius, Duke of Brunswicke, &c." Comes from: Robert Dowland Varietie of Lute-lessons, London, 1610.

    I am unaware of a version in modern or guitar notation. You might be somewhat familiar with tablature and figure it out. Please email me if you want the tabulature. Thanks

  • It occurs to me that there's probably an alternate universe where the electric lute is the dominant instrument of modern popular music, and we're all being amazed by a video of the 'Custom Electric Spanish Guitar'...

  • BARD OF THE FUTURE!!

  • bad ass motherfucka

  • Overdrive the amp!!!!!

  • @Actar411 You could restring a piezoelectric oud and tie on gut frets.

  • @AxxBluntforcetrauma It's not clean enough! To each their own.

  • imagine drop C powerchords on that lol

  • As if lutes weren't cool enough...

  • I was playing Fable 3 and listening to Pink Floyd when I shouted "Electric Lute Fuckers!", and then got the idea to make one, but before I got carried away, I YouTubed it, and found this. I'm glad someone else had the idea.

  • Does anyone know how much this cost? This makes me want to play lute even more than I already do. I want one so bad! Also I want an electric Citole and an electric Gittern!
