No feathers ruffled here..
What's an EE degree?
Isn't it easier to fit an extra neck on an old guitar, and go for something
like 10 or 12 single strings? Keep it in E, first two strings down an octave
(use a D and an A string) and just use low E strings for the bourdons? You
could use the head of a second guitar for the neck extension. Sounds like an
easier job and, given the availability of cheap guitars, not an expensive
one either. Gives you more time to practice the instrument.
Any path to the lute is good one.

Oi.
Folks, please forgive me, and let this subject drop, now? I had no
intention
of stubbing toes, firing up rwars, or causing people to point fingers.
It is now obvious to me that I did not make the case for what I want to do
clearly enough. It is also clear that, this request has no chance of
bearing
fruit.
I'm sorry.
