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. | ||

Joined: September 2006 Posts: 10777 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. | ||

Joined: July 2013 Posts: 28 | 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. | ||

Wouldn't that 9 string arrangement create unequal tension on the neck and eventually cause twist? | ||
