OK this is getting just a bit ridiculous..

how does one even play something like this. You'd need MONSTROUS sized hands?

for the love of Jeebus...why!!

ugh. I just got a 7 string and was considering picking up an 8 at the same time. the thing was, I couldn't really get comfortable with the width of the neck on the 8, and I thought the low strings just rumbled and flapped too much. with a 10 string, I couldn't even imagine. at the point where you are thinking, "hmmm, I NEED a 10 string," then maybe you need to considering taking up the bass guitar or the chapman stick!!!

Rondo/Agile seem to be milking the erg thing for all it is worth, I'm sure we'll see something like this in the not-so-distant future -

10 minutes alone with a seven string was enough to convince me that I was in over my head. This thing? It doesn't even have inlays! I can't even imagine how lost I'd be!

set the top 4 strings to drop D tuning for sick 1 fingered power chords?

[dvscool]

I just don't get it. I'm sure there's someone out there chanting "the musical possibilities are endless"....I think if I picked it up the musical possibilities would just END...

Way to many strings. lol

You can't think of that as a guitar or a bass. It is an instrument of its own. Tobin Abasi has said that about 8 strings. 10 takes it even further.

I personally have no interest in learning to play a 10 string, so I wouldn't buy that. But I wouldn't call it ridiculous. It's only "ridiculous" in comparison to a guitar....which it isn't.

Ya know what would be cool? 11 strings..."These go to 11...11, 11, 11, right across the board."

[leftykingv2]

My hand wouldn't even fit around the neck at the nut!! That's just pure insanity. At some point when you keep adding more strings it stops being a guitar and starts being something else entirely. What it becomes I have no idea?

[xenophobe]

7 strings is still guitar-like. 8 strings is not. At 27" it's still baritone scale. My 8 string Ibanez is 29.4" scale. It is effectively a guitar/bass hybrid but unlike either. It can be played like a guitar and it can be slapped like a bass. It's quite fun, but trying to play guitar parts on it is a bit confusing because you have trouble indexing as you would a guitar or bass. I think it's great, but I'm more likely to grab my 7 or a 6 string.

I'm not sure I need 6, e a d maybe a low b.

Looks rad. I prefer to extend my range towards the bridge tho.
