8 string guitar

[Tubbs]

I have been on the internet countless times to try and find one, but to no avail! I mean, I have seen them, but they are all insane amounts of money (2000+$) does anybody have an idea? I've already looked up custom sites like Conklin and L.G.M., but like I said,they are over 2000$. I have been so used to 7 string guitars by now that I am bored with them. I'm not saying I'm a virtuoso on the axe, but I am saying I could definitely handle 1 (or even 2) more strings! Pbbbbbtttttttt.

 

[Tubbs]

Hmm? Im I all alone? Oh no, I'm scared! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! (falls on floor and goes into a coma) (telepathing thoughts) I'll be back later to see if anyone knows!

 

[Tubbs]

Seriously, will my thread ever be posted on? I hope so because I plan on getting an 8 string relatively soon. Please answer!

Meshuggah use to play 8-strings guitars. They are made by Fredrik Nevborn. You can order it from his website http://www.nevbornguitars.com/
I love them

8 string guitars exist? I did see a picture of one in the 2006 GW buyer's guide, but I didn't think anybody actually made them.

 

[Horus]

And also, what's "Pbbbbbtttttttt" supposed to mean?

lol. Thats how a fat kid like me ends their sentences! And yes, 8 string guitars exist, as do 9 stringers, too. check out the names I mentioned above! And also, I forgot about Nevborn, yeah they have some wild looking ones. Still, they are over 2000$! (I wish I was rich)

 

[Horus]

Wow, you really like to emphasise the whole fat thing don't you? But your sig really is pretty funny.

 

[Horus]

This deserves a fucking WOW.

For some reason, I get the feeling that I wouldn't be able to figure that guitar out.

[Kenneth R.]

the Conklin ones are badass.

the 8 string guitars have an extra high string in adition to the low b, not an even lower string.

 

[Horus]

Wouldn't a high A break from being too thin? It would be like .04 guage. That would snap on contact with the pick.

And so, Michael Angelo Batio was born unto this mortal coil, to breathe life into mankind, and to forge paradise from nothingness. And the tool he used to create this primordial utopia of mankind, was his ever powerful, ever majestic Quad Guitar. HAHAHAHAHAHA
