My friend John is playing a concert at UCI this Saturday night that might be of interest to guitarists out there. It’s all on Russian seven-string guitars, which are unique and not heard much here. He and his partner Oleg are doing this together.

The guy on the left rocks, automatically, because his guitar has two necks.

Yeah. That actually looks like a seven string version of a harp guitar. Holy crap.
