What tuning and string gauge you use on hte sympathectic strings?

[HIMAT11]

@LuccaTotti

This version of this instrument with sympathetic strings on the guitar doesn't exist.

For the last version I use 0.9 or 0.10 gauge.

please can you write the guitar scale of this marvelous session

[HIMAT11]

@beefheartwitch For the sympatetic strings...I don't remember, but there is some notes for the C Lydian scale and the C Major scale, I think. It's was a test so I played without thinking...;o) Thanks a lot for your interest.

@dudewheresmylespaul

I think the cost was 60 € for the guitar 15 years ago , and the sitar bridge was 15 $ on e bay India, 60$ for the 18 tuning machines, a wood leaf to repair the head (5 $), a dremel to work on the fretboard, 30 $ for the es 335 tailpiece, the extra resonator was from my parent's garden and 18 strings.....some liters of coffee and some kilos of tobacco ;o))
