That Kahler 10-string trem is just INSANE.

In a good way. :D

Out there, somewhere
I know I'm jumping in a wee bit late here... but the single cutaway 10-string looks phenomenal IMHO. Though I'm very happy with 7 strings, and seriously can't see myself ever going beyond 8 strings (low B, high A), that single cutaway 10 looks so tempting, that I'm counting my pennies all the same...

Brilliant stuff from you guys Waylon!

Cheers

+1 on everything he said, I am digging that design :agreed:

Keep in mind you can always order one as an eight or a nine (low F# AND high A) ;)

Here are some new 10 string concepts for the Halo 10 string. Which one do you guys like. Give me feed back. These are 30" scale 27 fret. :hbang: :shred:

Wow... i was out of town when you posted these, so this is the first i'm seeing of them. I really like BOTH of these, Waylon! (And i'm pretty picky about design.)

They do really look nice, even after a while. It's really hard to make those big ass guitar look good, nice design really.

I'm doing pretty well, thanks! Just got back from a couple of weeks of vacation (including a few days in Vegas over the 07/07/07 weekend).

10 strings might be more than i can handle (and more than i would possibly need) but an 8 in either of those designs would really capture my interest.

Well let me know . everything as you well know comes in 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10.

Glad to hear you going good. Did you have fun in Vegas, we were there not to long ago.

I think 9 would be the most I would ever go, because I wouldn't want anything lower than F# (might even be too low, never tried it) or higher than a high A.

I'm not talking about other people, I'm talking about myself. After a 9 string guitar I'd just say fuck it and get an extended range bass.

Doesn't have the same pickups, or strings, or wood, or scale length, or bla bla bla bla :D

Now we are talking my language. I am a bassplayer. :cool:

Two things:

That single cut would make a killer bass design (imo) :yesway:

Have you ever posted pics of your Halo 7 string bass? I'm curious to see it.

No, and *PERSONALLY* I wouldn't want anything lower than F# through a guitar amp/cab and distorted. At that point I'd get the extended range bass, and try that out. Hell, I don't know if I'd even want to go to F#, I don't listen to any bands that go that low, so I don't know if I'd even like the sound. Mortician tunes to G, but they're not exactly tone guru's :lol: Once I get me a 27" scale guitar, I'll fuck around and see if I can handle a low F#, if not I'll probably just get an 8 with a high A sometime.

You do know that you don't have to use the lowest 2 frets on the string, there are 22 frets more that you can play on :D
But yeah if you haven't tried a high a-string yet, order one set from garry goodman, they are really fun to play with.
