The 'Gazuki' is a Guitar body with a bouzouki or bass-mandolin neck.
OCTAVE or UNISON
Having seen Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny and James Fagan playing very expensive versions of the guitar bouzouki, I have spent the last 2 years working on a production model, available without the waiting list!
Everyone who has played it, is hugely impressed.
I have instruments for loan, I can send one on a 2-week trial.
email phil - at - gazuki.co.uk to arrange this.
The tone is very different from the normal bouzouki of course, because of the conventional 'Jumbo' Guitar body
Sound Samples
ADAD Tuning with Octave strings for Bottom A & D
GDAE Tuning with Octave Strings

Steve Hunt plays with Amplifier
The tuning is frequently GDAE - mandolin or fiddle tuning, but it is equally at home in GDAD, ADAE ADAD etc
Design Features:-
The 12th fret is arranged to be well clear of the guitar body, with the cut-away this enables you to play easily above the 12th fret. The neck is hardwood and slim front-back and there is a neck adjustment truss rod.(Allen Key provided)
Stringing:-
The stringing of the G and D pairs can be Unison or Octave and both work well. The instrument comes with the nut notches cut for unison, and it is easy to change this to octave by changing the top G and top D strings, or just the G if you prefer.
I use Unison when accompanying my wife, Harp virtuoso Sarah Deere-Jones. This brings out the Basses and then I change to Octave when playing in sessions.
For unison this is 042wound , 032 wound , 020 wound, 011
For Octave this becomes 020 wound /042, 011/032, 020 wound, 011
Pick-up:-
There is a pick-up with Vol, EQ and 'presence' with a Jack socket spaced away from the Back Strap knob.
It comes with a padded soft gig-bag, when you turn up in a pub, you roll it up and park it under a chair instead of trying to find a space for the hard case!
