Have to ask, at what point does it stop being a guitar and become a new instrument?
Personally prefer this

they should make it like a proper 9 string. 2 more low strings and one higher string with multiscale.

It would probably make more sense to just take a 6-string bass guitar.

The springs in that Kahler must be humongous.

However a variety of tunings is possible.

Instead of getting a 9th string it for super low E, it would be easier to drop tune an 8

In the (hopefully) near future, i'm getting a Pendulum 8 (the multiscale one)

Why don't you just buy a 6 string and tune that lower and make the 6th string the lowest string?

It's a costeffectivel progression, you can sack the bassplayer at any moment.  :)

because, you lose the high strings. Some might argue, tuning that low, you just dont use them, but i like the comfort of them being there in case i might need them, than needing them and they're nowhere to be found.
Also, 8 strings just look so much cooler playing that sort of music :D
another thing, most, if not all 8 strings have their tuning pegs already modified, so the strings fit into the low 2 tuners (up to 80)
i have problems fitting a 62 into the low E tuner on my jackson, so i'd have to drill it out.

I understand the benefits of extended range guitars, it was a (failed) spinal tap reference.
