Tune it to F
Holy macro! This is an astounding piece of Art
I totally love everything about it. Those soundhole shapes, with the more reddish wood beheath, plus the ornaments - pure win.
Definately will like both soundclips and a vid!
Ohh, and I so wish you would've added some pics from the build process..

that is awwwwwesome... I own 2 long necked lutes myself... and always wondered what they'd sound like with pick ups in them... how do you tune yours...
one of mine is a 5 string c#, f#, b, e, e. Longer scale
the other is a 6 with e, a, d,d g,g shorter scale.

That is so gorgeous! 
And Celtic!
I've actually wondered what it would sound like chugging on a lute.
And Celtic!can it does meshuggahs? haha
NICE instrument. Very beautiful, and definitely an exhibition of craftsmanship. I would definitely like to hear how it sounds

^^Very similar to chugging on a classical guitar.
While I absolutely ADORE your craftsmanship here, what is the point of even having a lute in standard guitar tuning and not in high G? Playing a lute is a freaking BLAST. The transcription, however, can be a total bitch.

Thanks for the kudos! I do have every intention of tuning it to lute tuning. I had thought that the shorter scale would require a hard tension set of strings, but discovered on first stringing it up that with the traditional wooden pegs I was not happy with the amount of effort required to get it up to pitch. It will be tuned to high G as soon as I can get some lighter gauge strings. Here's another shot of the back!
This is an amazing piece of work, thank for you for sharing it.

Thanks, glad you like it! My next project is another acoustic/electric , 6 strings, but with extra frets, and a unique concept for the body's construction that I think you all are gonna get a kick out of!

The back is so sleek. Great craftsmanship.
I like the idea of an electric lute and beautiful work on this one but I don't see Lute I see 7 string electric classical guitar with a lute peg box. I thought the extra room in the peg box might be for the double stringing. It might sound like a lute then.
