Well, five weekends ago, I started work on my third touch/tap instrument, Prototype 3. I stringed it up this week, and recorded a few short clips:

Sorry for any and all mistakes. I'm still getting used to it, the uncrossed tuning, new string spacing, new ergonomics, etc. The recording system was humble. The output was fed into a little Ross mixer, into a cheap Zoom effects pedal for a little reverb, and then directly into a computer for recording.
It has 8 strings (just consider me inspired by Brenda and Fredrik). It has a 4ths/5ths tuning, and passive DiMarzio pickups, and a 32" scale. Thanks to Traktor for the strings.
No pictures yet, my creations are still pretty crude, and not pretty enough to present to the world yet. I need to play Prototype 3 for 4-6 months, and decide what changes to make in P4....which I am hoping is the model that I can reveal publically.
