This instrument is very similar to the last harp guitar John  Sullivan made in 2006. One main difference was that Sullivan  used African Blackwood back and sides. 

This instrument has 21-strings, 7 basses, 6 guitar and 8 super trebles, giving this  instrument 5 full octaves. This harp guitar is based on John Doan's original 20-string  harp guitar that was designed by Jeffrey Elliott and John Sullivan (2007d). Sullivan built  John's instrument in 1986.The tuning depends on the musician but as standard from low  to high it has a range of five octaves...  • Bass strings: E,,, F,,, G,,, A,,, B,,, C,, D,, • Guitar: E,, A,, D, G, B, E • Super Trebles:   e, f, g, a, b, c, d, e "You have really proven what it takes to stay with your craft.  This instrument is the best yet and is up there with the finest  harp guitars I have ever played. Please feel free to quote me on  that!" - John Doan  A wonderful customer called Joseph Conklin wrote a tune called 'Sedgwick' on this harp  guitar. He also released an album called ‘With Friends Like These’ which has a number  of harp guitar tracks on it.
