A: It’s a made-up word, from Greek ‘mega’ meaning large, and ‘guitar’ meaning that stringed instrument we all like so much. It’s a type of ‘big guitar’, the idea being that it’s more than a guitar.
Because there is apparently no agreed-upon generic word on the planet to describe this class of touch-style instrument which has two groups of strings on one fretboard and is played by touch, we made up the word ‘megatar.’
We have patented and and also claim trademark status on the unique shape or our instrument because we don’t want somebody making an instrument that other folks believe is one of ours, because that might not be good. And for similar reasoning we reserve all rights to use our trademark and name which is “Mobius Megatar.”
