Guitjo (double-neck)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A double-necked guitjo is a guitar-like, fretted, stringed, musical instrument that has two necks attached to a single body, generally with 14-strings, seven strings on each neck. It is strung more like a banjo rather than a traditional guitar. Both necks may be played simultaneously producing a sound that has elements of both guitar and harp. [1],[2]
The double-necked guitjo was developed in the late-twentieth century.[3] Guitjos are made and repaired by luthiers.
