OK, now I'm really excited about having ordered my 10-string, that sounds so much cooler than a regular classical...is this guy using the Yepes tuning?

I think someone like Carlos Santana could learn a thing or two about tone, phrasing and note choice from this guy.

A 7-foot axe would just be overcompensating :p

Hehe...I can't really play my way out of a paper bag on acoustic, but it'll be interesting :D

Erm...lots :)

Lo, newbie here too :fawk:

Hey, I like it too...Shawn Holdsworth is about about as good as it could get in my book :). It's actually a compliment, I just wish Rusty's influences weren't quite as obvious as they are... ...

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome claims another hapless victim :D

"Hi, my name's Rusty...but really I wish it was Shawn Holdsworth...."

Oh yeah, with my hands it's fingernail time after about the high A :D

Is it wrong that I was mainly distracted by Greg's "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" T-shirt during that? :D Seriously, great music though...

For body wood, I'd go for alder or walnut. Alder is a great all-round tonewood for guitars, I think walnut may be a bit bassier but then again it's a 7 so more bass response isn't necessarily a bad thing, and if you like to have natural wood finishes walnut is way nicer-looking than alder.

I have one of the prototype Washburn EC-29 Spitfire guitars, it rocks... ...that was very much the inspiration for this one.

Me with a 6-foot axe. Tell me it's not metal :P

I have 2 7-string basses. Scale length and string spacing hold no terrors for me :D.

F**k it, just ordered one :D

I had an 8-string electric made in 1990 by a local luthier in Wales, with intentions of playing Scriabin's piano music or something very like it on guitar. That never quite materialised, not least because the high A string kept breaking; I was stringing it B-A, like a 6-string with an extra...

His 'Introspection' album is one of the best guitar CDs I have ever heard, the man's a god. Why he isn't a bigger name than he is is beyond me...he's a fantastic player.
