Eight string? Those are so played out.

The cool kids are bumping nine strings, now. You want to be cool, don't you, Floyd?

I feel like I've watched this whole era of extended range guitar playing happen like a horrible slow motion car crash. You know what's coming, and what the inevitable result will be, but you are powerless to stop it.

Its like anything else. You'll get people who play 1's and 0's on the low f#, and you'll get people that use the entire range and versitility of the whole instrument. I think its great.

But its gonna be like 400 bucks or something
