12 strings is one thing, but how about microtonal? That's instead of adding strings, you add frets!

That's the first time I've heard microtonal work in a rock setting. Pretty good!

I see your added frets, and raise "add frets on the fly using Lego":

A bit spotty, but alright; meanwhile the Italian instrument makers said guitar-harp? Hold our expressos, this'll take some discipline:

Why frets? Orchestral strings don’t use frets.
