Knutsen Harp Hawaiian Guitar
This harp-Hawaiian (the bass arm attachment and strings were
removed) has the fanciest Knutsen pick guard I've ever seen - pearl and abalone
with wood or celluloid.
At right is the guitar as it appears in the liner notes of Chris' latest album,
Slide on In, an all slide CD.
The CD is available from Chris's web
site.
