Lab Guitar
I’m very proud of this kind of Harp-guitar. It was a long way through experiments and mistakes to follow the feelings, ideas and inspiration of the guitar wizard-composer Pino Forastiere. We first modified an old 6 strings guitar adding 4 basses, then 6 trebles, marimba and others toys like that. Then before it would blow up I build the definitive project adding one more bass and two more trebles. You can appriciate its voice in the best hands the LAB guitar could ever fall
