Here's something that might be of interest to anyone who's ever wanted to delve into the world of harp guitars, or instruments with sympathetic and/or plucked strings allowing potential for a whole bunch of unusual tunings. This Maestro Harp Guitar with six sub-bass strings and nine additional treble strings is currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $550. (You're unlikely to find a harp guitar cheaper).
No doubt it's made in China, Indonesia or Vietnam, but hopefully it's not as disastrous an instrument as some of the incompetently built and largely unplayable oddities produced under the Tennessee brandname.
