You could surf on that fucking fretboard. That thing would just annoy the shit out of me more than anything. Who the fuck needs 8 strings. Half of the people that are going to buy this are going to buy it for novelty, and most likely will not have yet even mastered 6 strings.Kellan wrote:How could you possibly have "too many" accidentals to play? Seriously I'm curious about some of your guys' "logic" here. If you can't understand how to use it then don't buy it. But it's not at all "overkill" or "too much". The only time it would ever be too much is when you can play frequencies out of the range of human hearing.
Personally, the harmonic avenues you can pursue on this thing insofar as voicings and positions are concerned is the most alluring thing about it.Phantom Green wrote:You could surf on that fucking fretboard.

It'd look cooler if they made it look like a wedge of swiss cheese.
