It's a legend (anniversary model) with 9 strings. The soundboard has a natural finish.

If we didn't allow creativity in the Luthier world we'd ALL be playing guitars with round backs... oh, wait a minute... never mind.
I might have to pin that set up to my "if the parts show up and it's a long dark Winter" folder. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I'm thinking that it came from New Hartford.
I have a 10 string guitar along that idea (but I only have six strings on it)
I am guessing that with nine strings you get the chime-y of the double e and b... and octave G,
while still being able the thumb thump on the E, A and sometimes D.
There was a thread about an Adamas with 9 strings
But I cannot find a photo on the web.

| Strange as it may seem I remember seeing these in adds in Guitar Player magazine back in the 80's...I believe....and I actually did see one for sale used years ago....very rare. It really has a unique sound and played very easy. I personally thought is was a rather interesting design....guess it never quite caught on. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I would rather take a 12 string and run matched pairs instead of octaves on the bass side.
Unless I had a lot of extra guitars laying around... |
