Perhaps I overstated my case

Yes, Stuart Box was basically inspired by Stanley Jordan, and made his guitars as double wide guitars.

He’s a class act. Very interesting read here (if you’ve got some time(

Thanks for that, Glenn

Also don't know much about Santucci, but since it was tuned like a guitar and a bass, like Bunker's instrument, I doesn't seem connected either.

"He’s a class act."

Indeed, Stuart writes:

"Emmett and his instruments should be recognised as the original and innovator of this concept of multi string touchstyle instrument and it wasnt until much later that I realized this."

Substitute whatever you like for "touchstyle".
