Here’s an unusual, beautiful and spectacular piece – a Tony Karol Belair Harp Guitar, combining salvaged Bearclaw Spruce and Cocobolo with a fan fret fingerboard! Harp guitars date to the early years of the 18th century and the first true harp guitar appeared in Paris in 1773, built by Naderman. He called this instrument a ‘Bisex’, meaning double six – six harp strings and six regular strings. Over time that term has taken on a rather different meaning.

The RGD body shape is a double cutaway body with bass side arm bevel. The layered Ash and Nyatoh body has a nice balance of warmth and treble snap and the flamed maple top looks beautiful with cerulean blue burst.
