I just found this on Youtube and thought you may like to see it too. The guitar was made by Andy Manson.

I think one look at Andy's site will explain. It is his life, his passion.

I've seen and heard the Mermaid.
It is just stunning. You would not ask why if you had too. You might as well ask why the Mona Lisa or Michaelangelo's David.
It is literally a work of art.
Cheers

That is astounding. I can barely look at it, though, for thinking how fragile it must be.
