9-string (from high to low) G-E-B-G-D-A-E-B-F# (.007-.062) - its like a nu-metallers dream

D!ve^Bomb!

there's no way in hell anyone will pay that much for it...

...and it's got an EMG too

But of course it does. A bass pickup at that although EMG guitar and bass pickups have the same frequency response :ninja:

In fairness, if you can't make all the sounds you want on a 6-string with 24 frets, 3 extra strings and 12 extra frets aren't going to help you...

Except the highest you can go on a standard tuned guitar is E, the lowest is E. With the 9 string, it's F# and G. That's what, 4 steps down and 1.5 steps up from standard?

Of course they will, there's an extra 35 or so notes not available on a regular guitar plus countless new chord permutations

More strings = more possibilities

More frets = smaller fingers needed

feylya

Unless it's a long scale in which case bigger and longer fingers are needed

...and, perhaps, an Urangutang's forearm

Yup, got one of those in the wardrobe.
