j. pierce Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Wow. crazy. Cool site too. I'm wondering how one frets the extended fretboard past the nut, seeing as it's on the bass side of the neck, and the tuners would be in the way, but then I saw the mention of the "pinpoint capo" ( http://www.luthiers.nu/?show=111 ) which makes it make much more sense. And I'm much more enamored by this than the floyd, even w/o the extended lower range frets. Looking at the PDF, it seems a remarkably easy solution for something I've wondered about; individual string capos. I may just have to butcher one of my beater guitars this week.

SwedishLuthier Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Amasing! And I've never heard of those guys! For those of you that doesn't read swedish: The floyd Rose costed almost 1400$. I don know the source for the Floud, but I got the impression that it is a custom made one-off from a mashine shop, rather than one of the ordinary makers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted November 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 that is exactly what I expected, I was quoted for appox. 650 for an 8string baseplate/block when looking into putting one in my 8 looks amazing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 To me it looks bl**dy ugly and stupid? why would you want that many strings and on a floating trem??? but then again this is how progress is made.... by trying out wacky ideas and designs.

Daniel Sorbera Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 How on earth would you play the thing or find strings to put on it? Would you like take diffrent gauges from like 20 diffrent sets to get what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Would you like take diffrent gauges from like 20 diffrent sets to get what you need? ← GHS, you can order a custom set, I don't know if they restrict you in the amount, but you can get single strings.

unclej Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 that's a beautiful instrument but eleven strings? i have enough trouble with six. bring that thing to my shop for a setup and you'd better bring a wad of cash and your first born.
