I didn't notice that. This one is now effectively a baritone drifter as the hard tail string anchor is now functioning as the bridge, giving a longer scale length. Thus the lines on the fretboard no longer indicate positions of notes in the western 12 note system. Perhaps this is the first of a whole expanded line of mutant drifting instruments: solid body guitar, semi-hollow body guitar, 12 string guitar, baritone guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo.
