8 string guitar

Don't Sitars have 34 fretts?

And wouldn't 34 fretts be measured by halves of notes or something? Or is the neck a 35" scale bass length?

I can only count 31 frets on there.

Same here. The last time I checked, 31 does not equal 34, and my mom's a math teacher, so I know math.

Im not sure about the anatomy of a sitar, but thanks for mentioning it! I plan on getting one because I hear they are VERY difficult to play. A perfect challenge! And I don't mean one of those electric guitars with the sympathetic drone strings, either. (check out the real cheap Rogue one, it's fun to play, but it doesn't sound the same.)

That 31 fretted guitar looks like shit though, the neck looks all warped and out of place.

18 string basses are cool. I did a google search one day and just kept upping the strings until i found this at 18.....

there was another type which had a closeup but i can't find that now.
If this link ever goes down then its basically a 6 string bass with 3 strings for each (like a 12 string acoustic type thing).

That thing has to be near-unplayable...

 

[Horus]

Ahh!!!!!! That bass will definitely beat the shit out of anyone who plays it!!!

well what do you guys think of this: Guitar + Bass ... known as a Warr Guitar http://www.warrguitars.com/images/guitars/phazebrawide.gif

That must be a real bitch to actually play. The neck is wide as a mofo.

um i learned a bit more about those kinds of guitars and guess what? 31 DOES = 34 (in a way), the last frets are whole tone frets, so you have the range of 34 frets...

 

[Horus]

One would think that a 34 fret guitsr would have a bass length neck.

 

[Jaen]

not really, more like dog whistle range...

Okay. I processed this in my brain, because I've been thinking about it alot, so I asked a math teacher: my mom. In the context used, it kindof does, kindof doesn't. In real mathematics though, 31 does not equal 34.

I wouldnt mind having an eight string. my hands a pretty big so i can handle my seven string pretty well. a six string feels like a midget guitar when i pick one up now.
How about a nine string? rusty cooly has one i think. the frets look all wierd and diagonal. But fuck it id play it.

okay let me make this clear .on my planet(marklar)34=31!now get over this shit
