After all, the bass guitar is not just a regular guitar that lacks strings.

That’s in fact the biggest problem, White House-based Medley had to overcome, as well. “Building this guitar turned out to be the easy part,” Keith explains on his site. “The hard part has been learning to play it. Through two years of bittersweet struggle between myself and these 27 strings, I determined it would not defeat me but would play the music I heard in my heart.” But why would anyone need a 27-string guitar, when most guitarist seem to do very well with just 12, or even 6?
