My sister made one out of PVC pipe and bees wax. Sounded pretty fucking good. Maybe something to think about/google.

LOL! Well, first off, I'd get it in solid black or something a bit more restrained.
But harp guitars have been around a while:
Wanting one made out of carbon fiber takes the risk-factor and maintenance-factor out of owning a large, expensive instrument. And carbon fiber, when done right, is insanely resonant, so I think it'd work well for a harp guitar.

I don't know.. from what I've been told by a guy I play with that has been building and repairing acoustics for over 30 years those things are actually built pretty damn good.

I wish the dude from Solmania would sell his guitars. Or take custom orders.

i've been intrigued by harpguitars for ages, ever since the Guitar Player article in the 70s, but never had the opportunity to play one.

I have so many already, I should not write want lists of any kind...
Electronic Uilleann Pipes (or a full set of accoustic ones):
A Gibson Style U:
A Paetzold subcontrabass recorder:
A Langley Pregnaphone in G (contrabass ocarina):
Fine Resophonics Triplate meccano:
An 8 string frying pan lap steel:
A five octave solid body Mbira:
and the list goes on and on...

Yes, yes, and yes to all three of these.
That big ass Mbira would be sick, too.

Apparently my town, Farmington Missouri, has only of the only American manufacturers these in the country. Redundant sentence there? But still, it's some hick town in the middle of nowhere and this guy is making these and all kinds of weird ass steel drum things out of his garage/factory thing. The high school here even has their own set of like 20 steel drums from him.
