A semi-hollow body electric 21-string guitar. Imagine a seven string jazz guitar with added chikari and twelve sympathetic strings. It is designed by Wes Lambe and was conceived by guitarist Jay Manley.
There is a long lineage of sympathetic string guitars and sitar-esque guitars. This will hopefully be something fantastic and unique to add to the family. It is also a fruition of my dream to create a guitar better suited to perform Hindustani classical and light music without being strictly a slide guitar and retaining much of the standard tuning. Main strings are e b g d a e a and chikari will typically be a and e or d (Sa, Pa and Ma). It also can be tuned to all twelve keys or any altered tunings.
