42-String Guitar

Let me introduce to you the Pikasso, a 42-sting guitar that was borne out of a challenge to make a guitar with “as many strings as possible.” The guitar has four necks and two sound holes. The body is tapered so that the side closest to the player is thinner than the side that rests on the players knee, thus leaning the top back towards the player for a more aerial view.
Created by luthier Linda Manzer for guitarist Pat Metheny, the instrument took 2 years to build. It weighs 6.7 kg or 14 3/4 lbs.
