I do a lot of studio work by filesharing from my homestudio - mainly guitars, bass, percussion, beatboxing & vocal tracks. so if you want me to record tracks as a studio musician on your production just send me a mail.

"The Manzer Medusa Guitar" Once seen - never forgotten!

Is created by world-famous canadian luthier Linda Manzer. It is inspired by the Pikasso guitar that she made for Pat Metheny and its designed by

Henrik Andersen and LindaManzer. The guitar took two years to develop and it was presented for the first time at the newport guitar festival 2010 in Miami.

It is the most advanced acoustic guitar ever made and it has 52 strings and 3 necks.

The lower neck is like a indian sitar or veena with scalloped fretboard and 4 chikore-strings with a buzz-saddle. The neck in the middle is a 8

stringed guitar. Like a normal guitar + 2 lover bass strings in B and F#. The midle neck is also "fanfretted" to get a better intonation. The upper neck is a fretless soprano guitar

The guitar also contains 3 different harps.

Below you can see some pictures from the construction of the guitar. There is a great story to this: After meeting Linda in Toronto in 2008, talking about this project, Henrik went back to Europe touring with his group, thinking about the design of the guitar. So to start the process he makes a cartoon and send it to Linda without any letter or explanation. A week after Henrik receives a E-mail from Linda just saying "Are you sure?" and Henrik just replies "Yes!".

The cartoon turned out to be the actual blueprint for the real guitar.
