Custom kickass 8 strings

[TemjinStrife]

I think you'd need to get permission from the guy that owns the design, Roland Hannes rolandhannes.com. He just licensed it to Schaller to mass produce

Might also be an exclusive licensing agreement, so he'd likely have to talk to Schaller about it anyways.

Amazing looking guitars!!!

 

[BlackStar7]

that neck-thru is out of this world man. keep up the great work.

 

[t_phong]

look so brutal ! awesome

 

[blahtyler]

So stoked on these guitars. I can't believe They were your first builds. What did you do before???

 

[georg_f]

count me in for a fanned fret 8 string hannes bridge, that'll make at least 3 people wanting one

 

[Sepultorture]

if you make a black 7 string hannes bridge count me in i WILL fucking buy one

 

[Qweklain]

That semi-neck-thru bolt-on is pretty much the same thing as ESPs old Cyber-Joint. I had an old custom built (wish I still had it) that was a Cyber-Joint, and it was pretty much the perfect neck system in my opinion. It had a mixed tone qualities of neck-thru and bolt-on, and if you ever snapped the neck, it would be replaceable!

Hi guys,
this is my first post in this forum.

I also would love the idea of having a 7-string Hannes bridge. I've contacted Roland Hannes, and he directed me to Schaller.
He knows about Krachgarten, and a french guitarbuilder, who made a lefty 7-string bridge.
Then i asked Schaller about the issue , and got the following answer:


Sehr geehrter Herr Neubauer,
herzlichen Dank, in diesem Jahr startet neu unser Hannes-Steg mit Piezo und als Basssteg 5-Saiter.
Weitere Varianten z.B. 7-Saiter werden erst später folgen.
Derartige Varianten wurden definitiv nicht von Schaller hergestellt.
Einzelteile verkaufen wir nicht separat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

So, there will be no 7-string bridge in the near future from Schaller, which will leave it to ourselves trying to manufacture some...
Of course there might be a copyright issue, especially if someone is manufacturing those bridges and selling them... I asked Mr. Hannes about it, and will post his answer here.
I think, he is not very concerned about it, but maybe Schaller will be.

btw, how many guys in germany would be interested? We would need 7 Hannesbridges to make 6 7-strings, if we can find someone who does the cnc metalwork.
thomann sells one for 119 € plus the cnc work, that would be quite an investment.
Any ideas?

Since you appear to have very good english skills......could you translate schaller's response for those of us who have subpar german skills? I know we got the general answer from your summation, but I'm wondering what they actually said.

I don't know how happy Siggi Braun will be when he sees you are copying his CNS system

Dear Mr. N....
thanks (for your request). New models of the Hannes bridge in this year will be one (for guitar) with piezo, and one for 5-string bass.
Other versions, like 7-string, may follow later (this is quite indifferent in german, so I think that they don't have concret plans, when they will release it)
Those versions have definitly not been produced by Schaller.
We don't sell individual components.

Kind regards

I'll try, my german ain't perfect though:

"Many thanks for the question, this year we will be shipping our new Hannes-bridge with piezos and a 5-string bass version.
Further variants, e.g. 7-string will follow later. Such variants will definitely not be produced by schaller (I dunno if he means the 7 string versions or what? I'd have to see the question).
We don't sell single parts separately (i.e. single saddles I guess)"


OMG beaten!

Now that's interesting, because I didn't mention anything in special, just that I have seen a 7-string bridge. So he must have googled for it.
I hope that this will not bring up any copyright probs, 'cause this guy seems to be the boss of Schaller ^^

 

[yacker]

Thanks guys! The prospect of piezo hannes bridges is at least a little cool. Such a shame that schaller is so anti-anythingbut6string.

Huh? I just translated what I saw? The original says 7-string?
I have nothing to do with schaller.

Or I misunderstood

 

[Maniacal]

How much are these guitars?

 

[Curt]

The 8 string EX style!

that is KILLER. More GAS for me.

 

[pylyo]

Like a guy above said, I saw this what you call 1/2 neck-through style on Siggi Braun guitars. Other than that lovely guitars you got there...
