not ridiculus at all. if you need the range you need the range

 

[plyta]

Yup, old news. Too bad there is no proof it is actually playable

 

[Fionn]

ten strings tho, hows would you tune it?

However you want?

yeah but surely going higher is hard due to tensions needed and going real low gets too difficult with distortion. and most 9+ strings i've seen have fanned frets due to tension problems!!! i mean 10 strings isn't that impressive Warr guitars do 14 but its different, its more in kind with a chapman stick, this looks as if its a metal styled guitar!

He said that because the one dude that bought a halo 10 string didn't get it in a usable state.

Oh no problem, i have no idea.

You should probably just wait for the dude getting his Oni 9 string to chime in. Or wait for a luthier or something like that.

 

[Fionn]

no probs.

use search button sometimes my friend and you will find a lot more unique instruments - guitars, basses and a lot more

 

[Fionn]

cool. i just randomly found it online and thought i'd post it.

 

[plyta]

this is the only video of this guitar I know of and IMHO it is utterly useless for anyone that actally might be interested in 10-string guitar.

 

[Sroth Saraiel]

NO FUC**NG WAY i´m gonna pay 5 grand for that ridiculous thing!

It doesn´t even have fanned frets? so what can you play there? powerchords only?

I got my total attention at first but after the price... nah... next...

anyways thanks for the info! and the video!

 

[elvendio]

The thing I find strange is that they would have a video trying to sell this guitar and not show anyone playing it.

yes stealth you called?

yeah fionn this ten string has been around for a while now. and it's tuned low to high:
C#,F#,B,E,A,D,G,B,E,A

and although most would go with fanned frets for such range, this halo and a roter 10 string weren't fanned. but i never played either nor have any PERSONAL experience, but i trust sebastian's luthiery. i personally went with fanned frets for the luxury of keeping the tension and tone of each string appropriate for it's tuning, and to keep it as "guitar" sounding/feeling as possible.

This is just Halo wanting to jump the gun with the whole ERG thing going on. They think people will buy something just because it has a silly amount of strings. 7s and 8s have their uses and are geting more play, so they though 'lets go further!'.

I would get an 8 but I'd have no use for anything more. While that is a good looking guitar, it is vastly over priced and more of a publicity stunt than a useable instrument.

I don't, it's a Halo after all. I'd be surprised if anyone could play it.

I'm just amazed that Kahler builds a 10-string trem. Was shocked to find a 7 and a 8 not all that long ago.
