Topic: Guitjo


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  ACOUSTIC EIDOLON & Thomas Loefke
Joe plays an instrument he invented: the double-neck guitjo, a custom acoustic guitar with two necks, built exclusively for him.
Acoustic Eidolon's recordings are a rich blend of both artists' musical influences and have been described as pure musical poetry.
The bell-like quality of Joe's unique double-neck guitjo provides a lovely counterpoint to Hannah's elegantly inspired cello.

Most of these use the body of a banjo, often with a resonator, and the neck of the other instrument.
Examples include the guitar banjo, 'banjitar' or guitjo, the banjo mandolin and the banjo ukulele or banjolele.
Instruments using the five-string banjo neck on a wooden body (for example, that of a bouzouki or resonator guitar) have also been made, though these are not so common.

The double-neck guitjo has a total of 14 strings, and is designed so that Joe can play both necks simultaneously.
The guitjo neck has only high-pitched, treble strings, and sounds much like a harp or hammer dulcimer.
