Making Harp Guitars

Making a harp guitar takes around 50% more time to make. Some harp guitar take twice as long to make than a normal guitar due to the complexity and arrangement of the extra strings. With the 'One Arm' style harp guitar the extra acoustic chamber adds on an extra amount of time and materials. In fact there is enough material in the arm section to make a superb mandolin. If you combine the cost of the hand made guitar and a hand made mandolin you might being to understand why these kind of guitars cost more than your average hand made guitar. The other indearing cost is in obtaining the materials for the 'One Arm' style harp guitar. Your average Luthier supplier doesn't carry these kind of sizes and so the wood has to be especially cut.
