#53, Alexa. 24.75" scale mash-up of various instruments. 6 strings and scale length like a guitar, doubled string courses like mandolin family instruments, Gsus4 open tuning like an Irish bouzouki but tuned up 5 semitones to Csus4 like a tenor instrument and re-entrant tuning like a ukulele... I'm calling a Mantenorzoukukeitar. lol

Thanks Doug and AGP!
Yup, I'll get a video after I learn this tuning.
And that not a carrying handle AGP... clearly it's an arm rest. lol

Interesting tuning! Please post a video so we can hear it. Cool build to go with it Korrigan!

"Yep! Karl", definitely a bit of a "Monster Mash" build, but there's a heck of a lot of nice things to say about it, the standout of course is the Headstock, my only worry is, is the Carry Handle strong enough for this "Beast"  ;-D
