I'm Not Entirely Sure What You're Asking, But I Will Say That I Am Not Entirely Sure, Either, Why You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter. It Is Not Strictly Necessary.

:D

In all seriousness, what are you trying to find out?

What kind of music do you play? Do you know of the (sadly discontinued) Schecter Celloblaster series?

There are these guitars with the long thick strings, they come as fivestrings quite often :lol:

Other than that, there are a few guitars that come with five strings, usually tuned in fifths.

Have you tried a fifths tuning?

What's your current tuning?

Which one is the missing string?

Not so good is the fact that they were based on an idea had by the world-renowned bullshitter and "shred mandolinist" Douchebag Maestro Alex Gregory. Therefore, I won't have anything to do with those Schecters, on principle :D

Well... do you need it?

Certainly for most cover songs you will at least.

Actually REALLY wanted a celloblaster back in the day.

Why would you not have the top string?

Did you deliberately take it off, or did it break and you couldn't be bothered to replace it?

Nice caps BTW. :lol:
His first polite attempt wasn't headed so more drastic measures had to be taken.



On topic, look for really old guitar pieces if you only want to use 5 strings, since the instrument was traditionally just that.

Oay Most Of You Are Spamming On My Thread So GET OFF. I Will Use Whatever Caps I Want. Not Since It Seems Only A Few Actually Care To Help Me I Have To say Thanks To Them And Well Every Body Else Can :fawk: Themselves No It Broke Within 24 Hours Of Me Having It. I THen Got A Replacment Earlier This Month And It BRoke Within 24 Hours. The Local Walmart Doesn't Sell Strings There Are No Music Stores Nearby And Every Where That Does HAve Strings Either Have None In Stock Or Are Too Expensive. I Want Help That Costs Me UNder $0.01.c So Now That That's Cleared Up. Take The Next String Off? That Would Give Me A 4 String Guitar. I Want TO Play Music At My Level But I Wanna Keep My Fifth String. The Thinnest Highest One Is GOne And Let Me Tell You It Is A Pain TO Install Guitar Strings On That Fender I Have. Now Another Thing. I'm A NOOB. I Don't Understand Any Of THis HArdware Mumbo Jumbo Or Tuning. I HAve My Strings Tuned One Way The Rest Is Me. I HAve An Esteban Amp One Of The Smalleer Ones. THe Guitar Is Set TO: vol.6 Tone1 TOne1. The Amp Is Tuned To: Gain 5 Boost Off VOl 5 TReble 10 Middle 0 Bass0. That's My Current Set Up. I HAve Another THat Has: Tone 10 Tone 10. And The Amp Set TO Treble 0 Middle 0 Bass 10. Now Tell Me What I Can Do With That Setup. IOf Not Leavbe Me Be Or This Will Sound Like Youtube Arguments. :agreed::fawk: All Who Annoy Me. :shred:

When I first started, I was playing guitar for a few months with only 5 strings.

One of the d00ds from LoG was only using 5 strings on his guitar for a while.
