So I’ve been dabbling around with my new harp guitar . I thought at the beginning I’d return it why ? Ugh can’t remember exactly but adjusting to its size was one thing . Having those bass strings arching out with that arm made it difficult to see the fret board of the reg guitar .
I guess just being so used to seeing and playing regular guitars that having this what seems as a huge arm blocking things is taking some adjusting to . Lol
Now that’s the least of it . Lol playing bass guitar is easily achievable at least playing bass as a guitarist would . Lol
So trying to tune the bass strings to the tunings I use is rather challenging so far with only mild success. Lol of course my tunings have not been my normal run or the best and they are a tad off of normal , like me ! Lmao
Now the wood of this guitar is rather interesting. It’s Silkwood though I can’t pin it down exactly to what it is . Never heard or seen it in use either as far as guitars go . They say it’s Rosewood like tonally . So it’s an all rosewood guitar . Lol
Now the more I play it the more I like its sound/tone etc . Makes me curious to what their 6 string OM’s sound like ?
Anyway I’m gunna keep messing with it and when those pesky bass string’s finally make sense then I’m sure I’ll be most pleased and hope some of you will like the results as well . Lol
Now finding strings for this thing at least the bass string side has been a bit limited . I found a harp guitar string site but it doesn’t work at all on mobile so I I have to remember to try the pc when I get it fired up if I don’t forget . Lol
Ok so that’s it more or less thought I’d just share and now I’ll finish my beer that’s now warm because this took an hour to type ! Yaaaay Ray speak auto correct! Lmao
