Is this Pat Metheny's Picasso guitar?? Amazing work! @tomy A lot of the strings are drones so they sound when the soundboard vibrates.

@mgbaron, yeah, this is my version of that guitar. I didn't know it was Pat Metheny's guitar!..It's rear to see a harp and drone string guitar combined. That's why I knew I had to model one:) John Mclaughlin played guitars similar to this one as well. I just seen John with Chick Corea in concert :D

I've seen Chick before. He is quite the entertainer! At the show I went to he had the audience doing a sing a long :). Also, I got to go backstage after the show! I would love to see John Mclaughlin someday. Off topic, but since I know that you are into Jazz now, have you listened to any Kurt Rosenwinkel? He is my favorite guitarist, bar none.

great stuff!, I just had to google him and, check out some youtube videos. Really good stuff. I've never heard of him! I got to show this to a friend of mine who's been a jazz guitarist for about forty years now, he'll definitely love this! Anyway, I'm Also a really big jazz fusion fan. A Really great jazz fusion guitarist was Shawn Lane (R.I.P.). Check out this video of him demonstrating some diminished scale exercises http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Skk9Q0Qd_k

Actually, now that I look closely I think Pat's is a little different.

Boy, was I confused - I clicked on sandman14's link and then mgbaron's right after that since my connection is slow. The video and audio made no sense at all - turns out I was watching one video and hearing the other - LOL!

@mgbaron It's is different, it doesn't have the extra headstock at the top of the body. Again, I didn't mean it to look like that guitar. Also, mine is a more jumbo style the Pat's.
