Recently there have been a few musicians down my folk club with unusual instruments with sympathetic strings and I liked the ethereal sound and wondered if I could make an equivalent type guitar and after a few different googles found Fred Carlsons site and wondered if anyone here had built one or anything similar, as I thought it may/or not make an interesting future project.

I've never heard of anyone other than Fred doing this. Studying his instruments, as well as sitars, would be where I'd start.
