The [[harp guitar]] is a guitar with added strings which are "floating", and are only played as open strings. As with extended-range guitars, these additional strings may be lower or higher in pitch than the standard strings. Unlike extended-range instruments, the extra strings on harp guitars may only be played as open strings, or employed as sympathetic resonators for the other strings., because they do not pass over a fingerboard, and cannot be "stopped" or fretted.<ref>Miner, G.; [A ''harp guitar'' is] "a guitar, in any of its accepted forms, with any number of additional 'floating' unstopped strings that can accommodate individual plucking ... The word ''harp'' is a specific reference to the unstopped open strings, and is ''not'' specifically a reference to the tone, pitch range, volume, silhouette similarity, construction, floor-standing ability, nor any other alleged "harp-like" properties.
