Oh Dear Oh Dear....

Wow. Can't believe there are 10 bids! :D

Must resist the urge to state the obvious 6-string + 7 string on same guitar observation. Drat. Half too-late.

High Quality Guitar made in Korea

Love those oxymorons. :D

Your arms have to stretch down to your feet to be able to play it B)

HEY! TAKE THAT BACK! NOW! :D

I may be whitewashed, but I know my roots!

Judging from Hyunsu's work, I'd have to disagree with your statement.

EXactly!

Anyways.. any guess on how much that thing weighs? 20pounds??

they always sell those on ebay with a buy it now of 700.00 pretty good deal for 3 guitars

Yeah, but this one has 3 TOM bridges......if I would opt for instrument like that, I would put different type of hardware on the beast. Like the Vai's example.... one Hardtail, one Floyd and one 12 stringer.

Although the combo's could be endless.

Cool to look at, cool to own....not cool play. So that's why it would never make my collection. I want players, not beauty queens.

Hmmm...don't quite see the point, though it might be good for a collection of different tunings. Vai's triple neck has a 12, floyd and fretless hardtail with sustainer...so although showy, does at leat do three specifically different things. Three is just a little too impractical, whatever the weight... pete

Here is a much more practical triple, if you ask me. Check out the magnetic pickups hidden at the end of the fretboards, a very cool and well executed idea.

That must've been a follow-up to a well-known triple from JPJ's Zeppelin days.

I'm not saying there aren't any good luthire in korea. Far from it. The reason for that comment was I thought that thing was made in a mass factory; and those arn't known for their quality.

Have you seen a Korean made guitar lately? I have 2 (Fender and Hamer) and the quality is on par with Japanese stuff, and better than some USA built guitars. B)

It's ok though. I remember thinking in the mid 80s that Steve Vai had surely lost his mind when he signed on with Ibanez. I mean, come on. Japanese? Gimme a break. :D

Looks like I was wrong. :D
