9 String guitars

[Roobubba]

i have been considering a 9 - but strung doublecourse like a 12 string on the GBE strings. its been done before by a few companies and works well.  it may be the way agile are going ???

A multiscale fan fret baritone 9 string perhaps?

I'm happy with my guitar. I'm happy with my guitar. I'm happy with my guitar

(PS Fernando, I play the viola so I noticed the omission!) :)

Don't like Teles, don't like Sir McCartney, plays a fanned fret guitar, is scientist and play viola....

Veredict: you're the weirdest man ever :lol:  :D

roo - a 9 string for you have a massively wide neck and not be practical  - although there are some basses and tap guitars made that way.   

I do like the idea of 9/10 strings which give you a nice amount of double course 12 string action but still allow for the bashing out of power chords and low string fun

I just need to sort out the bridge saddles to see if a 9-string fanned fret baritone is possible

here is a 10 string bc rich

a 10 string schecter hellcat

 a 9 string first act

and vox

 and an teisco/top twenty 8 string sold by woolworths

Ahh mustiane used to play one of those BC rich 10 strings in the very early metallica/magadeth days.

It doesn't sound like it though but he is adamant he did.

I presume he must have removed the higher strings to make it a standard 6

I've played a couple custom nine string acoustics that were double strung on the g, b and e. I'd like a bash of an electric like that, I think I could make use of it cause I do a lot of grindy horrible riffs with higher strings open as drones.

I'd not be confident enough to ever have one built to test that theory, mind  :lol:

borrow a 12 and take 3 strings off!

[Transcend]

thats a great idea wez especially as there are cheaper 12 string electrics out there such as epiphone,vintage & agile

so it wouldnt be too costly just to try it to see if it works for you

Err, obviously that occured to me. Obviously.

That First Act one sounds utterly badass if the current High On Fire album is anything to go by. I think they made some for the guys in Mastodon as well.

I'd like one of those 9 string bad boys for those Mastodon/High on Fire moments.
