The latest Fylde newsletter has details of this unusual jobbie - three different basic scale lengths plus individually capo-able string pairs for partial capo functionality - don't think I'd ever figure this one out! www.fyldeguitars.com/custom_guitars/nordic.htmlKeith |

Doesn't appeal to me ... though I might be tempted if they did one with fan frets and a re-entrant tunnelled sixth course!

It may have some practical uses but it looks like it's had a horrible accident  |

Just saw this thread (thanks fretnot  ) and it looks utterly bizarre, but as with most Fyldes, beautifully made  |

The Headstock is crazy but I think it look s like a really useful instrument... having a big range with a low bass and high treble notes in easy reach sounds amazing... the screw type single string capos would save retuning and breaking strings when using different drones.
