Seems pretty cool and interesting.

Only available in United Arab Eminates & Kuwait currently though

Post by: shobet on July 02, 2011, 06:42:28 PM: It sounded Arabic to me. A very cool and interesting idea and guitar. I'm not sure my brain could cope with that I have enough problems with 12 notes.

It will probably end up in the hands in of some of Ibanez' virtuosos. What will come of it, no idea. Maybe some down-tuned death arab-metal?

Far as I know Steve Vai is already using a microtonal guitar at times. I think he has one with 16 notes per octave or so...not sure anymore.

I really see some interresting blues applications for that.

Post by: WezV on July 02, 2011, 11:28:41 PM: yeah, not a new idea is it

did vai not have a 17 fret per octave guitar at one point or am i remembering things wrong???

extra frets can be added to any guitar and the 1/4 tone idea can be incorporated fairly easy

Post by: Denim n Leather on July 03, 2011, 02:20:14 AM: I don't think it was Vai, it was Ronnie Le Tekro from TNT. And yes, the guitar has 34 frets. I wouldnt' be surprised to find that Vai has played one, also. He's nuts lol.

As long as it's not down-tuned death-to-arab metal, we should be fine :D

Post by: HTH AMPS on July 07, 2011, 06:44:15 PM: I've definitely read stuff with Vai where he mentioned micro-tonal scales, so I assume he had a guitar made to play that stuff on. Or maybe he used that fretless JEM he used on the Sex & Religion album's opening track.
