After being deeply impressed by Pat Metheny's Pikasso-guitar made by Linda Manzer, Claudio Fritschi of Switzerland decided to gather up some of his "classical guitar wrecks" he had around the house.

The wrecks (pieces of wood and guitar parts) combined with a little skill, fantasy, a bit of know-how and information from books, led him to build these creations.

The one with the red background was the first experiment. It has 38 strings on 4 sections; the original guitar section with nylon strings, a mandolin section, a harp section with 12 strings in a pentatonic minor tuning on the end of the body and a second harp section with 12 strings in a pentatonic major tuning, crossing under the mandolin and the guitar section over the soundhole.

All additional parts are in beech wood. The pickup for the guitar section is a piezo by shadow, all other sections where picked up with built in transducers also by shadow.

The second work, the one with the blue background has 34 strings on 4 sections; the original guitar section with nylon strings, a short bass section, a harp section with 12 strings in a pentatonic minor tuning on the end of the body and second harp section with 12 strings in a pentatonic major tuning crossing under the bass and the guitar section over the soundhole.
