This guitar has a round neck and fretboard, strings encompassing the entire neck. Below there is a body, which serves as a lever allowing the player to twist the neck to new positions. This brings new strings in front of the pickup. A central rod passes through the string strings to the top and provides
a place to rest the hands. The motion of the string body is limited by the thumb of the fingering hand resting on a series of spaced pads mounted to the string tube. A small latch or cam action could assist when the player fingers upper octave or bridge cords.

" A central rod passes through the string strings to the top " ...not cruelly mocking what is probably a typo, but it makes me think of the Ting Tings. |

Can you do an illustration in any manner? I can vaguely imagine this...I probably can't play it, but... |

How do the new strings get from behind the pickup to in front of the pickup? |

Now you've done it. Last night I dreamed I had been invited to tour with a mariachi band, but when we got to the site of our first gig, an upscale restaurant/hotel, it seems I'd forgotten my guitar. |

They gave me a standup bass built as you describe in your idea. I played with it for a while, then told them it was very interesting, but in order to be effective I was going to need a guitar. |

They brought me one that had freshly grown strings on it, still covered by the horny sheaths. I had to borrow scissors from the kitchen and trim them down to get a clear tone from it. It produced really nice low tones. |
