I personally don't think its very practical to achieve the type of sound desired, completely pointless is weighted but that dude is entitled to say so. But i agree that there are better instruments for the desired end. If not there should be

That's weird, the bass strings are in the middle of the neck, and then the strings thin out both ways.

But it's SOOOOOOO AWESOME.

That's typical of most touchstyle instruments.

I figured you should buy and or make one.

My dexterity for touchstyle isn't the greatest, so I don't think i would ever make or buy one. I'm currently working on a super sub contra 5 string bass design tuned an octave below a normal 5 string(B00-G1) with a 44" scale.

That would be fun to play

 

[MaxOfMetal]

completely pointless...

just get a keyboard or something

Huh?

You've never seen a band play with two guitarists, and a bassist?

I agree that touch style is pointless on guitars. Only fools would even bother with that.

I was kidding of course since I use my 8 string for that exact purpose. BTW. Stanley Jordan is God. Period.

Oh whoops I just realized who you were, I love your playing man, big fan.

 

[Inception7]

Wow, thanks! I have to admit it's a bit strange to hear someone say they are a fan of mine. I'm very honored

Um, just the Schecter ATX C-8 and Boss Me-70 plugged right into the computer. I believe the amp sim is on "clean". I don't know, it just sounded good right off the bat so I didn't mess with it too much. I like it better then the sound from my Vox Amp.

Cool, I have a BOSS GT-6 so hopefully I can get close. I was just wondering because I want to get into touch style playing with my 11 string, and wanted to have a similar tone.

Honestly, I think most of the sound is from the Pickups. I had a Shecter 7 string with EMG's and it didn't sound similar at all. What kind of pickups do you have? What kind of guitar is it?

The one in the middle and I built it by hand, the pickup is s custom made Nordstrand:

Wow! That thing is a beast! What kind of music do you play on something like that? I've thought of going to 9 or 10 (one lower, one higher) but that's crazy!

Well I designed it be an 88 key piano in guitar form, right now I play classical music, and some jazz. As you can see it's not very "metal" so you can guess I don't regularly play metal on this beast.

PM me a link if you have some, I'd love to hear what you play. I imagine it's pretty tough to play on something of that magnitude. I bet it sounds fantastic!
