Although this is actually pretty amazing stuff, it is rather a harp than a
guitar.
Yes I know, I am being a prig here, but I really was a bit disappointed when I
first read about this thing: A news article header invited me to "click here"
to read about a nano-guitar, and then there were no frets, just strings - my
amazement was kinda spoiled.
Must be scientific freedom or artistic license to call this one a guitar, I
don't know.
