I have a Vita Guitar that has 6 strings. Very few people have heard of this. Does anyone out there know of any recordings made with this type of guitar? - François (webmaster) - 2009-09-07
Queenmom, the six stringer Vita is H1250. Check this model number on this site (or type Vita in search box). - Toadmon - 2011-02-16
