This guitar has a standard neck. It is shorter than a standard guitar neck because the body is different, so no really high notes. Instead of a box with a hole in it, the body is a parabolic dish with the strings across it. The dish amplifies and broadcasts the sweet sounds. Point dish at listener.

"Your guitar looks like a parabolic."
"Yeah? Well your clarinet looks like a knob." |

How is the bridge supported ? On an acoustic guitar, it is fixed just below the sound hole ... |
|
| |
I think out of necessity the bridge would be at the bottom edge of the dish. With a guitar the site for strumming / manipulating the strings should not matter, and if with this guitar the strumming occurs several inches higher than the bridge, so be it. |

I here assert that conventional guitars waste sound emitted from the string along its length, as really only sounds over the sound hole get captured. The dish guitar uses sound from the entire string across the width of the dish. |
|
| |
I should mention that the dish is made with exotic hardwood veneers salvaged from recycled 19th century furniture. |

I here assert that that is complete bollox. |

I assert that [bung] may have a point. I also assert
that he may not. I assert that I am unable to decide
at this point in time. |

Assertiveness training, [MB]? |

I was going to have assertiveness training, but they wouldn't let me. |

I'm sorry to tell you that you're completely wrong. As a simple example, if you pluck exactly halfway along the string, then no even harmonics will be excited, since they would have a node at the centre. It ends up sounding more like a square/triangle wave. |

As compared to those really cool triangle waves ... |
