This is the first piece I wrote for this custom instrument built by Dunable Guitars.

It is a custom Yeti VI (inspired by the Fender Bass VI). It is a 30.75” scale length, designed to sound like a bass by feel like a guitar. It is tuned like a guitar, but an octave lower. This instrument also has quarter-tone frets up through the first octave of the neck.
