A turn-of-the-century Gibson oddity, this Style U harp guitar features a 6-string guitar neck, as well as 12 sub-bass strings. The body has a black finished arched spruce top and natural finished walnut sides and arched back. I needs some work (sold AS-IS, see Details section below), but overall it’s in very good condition.
