7 strings, 8 strings...nah, 11 strings!

[bonehead189]

7 and 8 strings I believe very playable. 11 strings will without a doubt create a mess in your brain. I have yet to play a 7 or 8 string, and still imagine they are a handful to play, espically the 8 string. We all know Rusty Cooley can rip on an 8 string no problem, but an 11 string with 29 frets would be the ultimate challenge!

I can quite honestly say that the sight of those guitars made me afraid... afraid that they'd jump out of the screen and take a chomp at my head.

I think I'd just get a Stick.

Guitars like this one are ususally made for that .

I'm going to buy it of course, 'cause my dad will be quite mad for driving me all the way there.

Ah, but enough about Atlas. Lets get back to giving snide remarks on that 11-string behemoth we saw earlier.

You mind giving short review of the Custom 24 .

It's a custom made eleven stringed alto guitar tuned in G. With 29 frets and a Floyd... Just think about the time it'll take to get that sucker in tune, let alone change strings!
