it is made friendly for guitarists, that is for sure. remember that it uses
regular electric guitar strings and the instrumen is fretted. but it would be
hard to play fast picked lines, or bent notes. this is a unique instrument that
you need to adapt yourself. but a great investment especially for soundtrack
work. he is selling a lot to major film composers in LA at the moment.
also the instrument does not have switches for pickups but volume controls.
that way you can blend guitar like sound with the cello character. with the tone
control you can get very low frequencies too which is very impressive.
best.

If you ve never played cello,is it just as
difficult or is it made friendly for guitarrists? id like to also see more
examples of plain guitar playing with it.
