THIS WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL GIFT FOR ANYBODY INTERESTED IN GUITAR DESIGN

This album demonstrates the sounds of Ash Mandrake's innovative tres and bass guitars. There are 8 guitars. Four of them are single concept guitars and there are four more which are hybrid guitars (see below for further details)

Extensive details about the guitars (E.g their tuning) are provided in the track art.

Two of the tracks include a spoken presentation of two of the hybrid guitars. Other than that, all tracks are instrumental.

FURTHER DETAIL:

Ash Mandrake's 12 month lockdown project from March 2020 to March 2021. During lockdown Ash Mandrake conceived and executed the design and production of eight inter-related guitars, which when placed in a circle create a continuous blend of design features as one passes from one to the other. There are four single concept guitars and four hybrids. The original aim of the project was to explore the combination of bass and tres on one neck, but as the project got under way, it took on a shape of its own and became much more.
