I saw them at NAMM in January.
Pretty cool in just how 'beastly' they are. It's a big guitar for sure. Definitely not my thing but Ibanez' are always well designed ergonomically and some of the easiest guitars to play so I'm sure it all works with normal sized hands. There was a big line to play them at the show and I didn't have the time to wait. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

In the hands of a select number of innovative players who can truly approach it almost as a new instrument separate from traditional guitar (like Tosin Abasi), it could be something great.
Sadly, in the hands of the rest of the 95% of players, it'll be a useless piece of shit -------------------- http://www.six-string-samurai.com - Gear reviews for the terminally GAS-afflicted.
Thank you to John at GMC for inviting me to hang out and talk gear with you guys! |

The 9 strings may be adopted by 'other' types/styles of players the same way the 6 string bass was. What I mean is ... a 5 string bass is still a bass guitar holding down the low end but once they went to 6 (and more) strings it became a different instrument. A solo instrument, an orchestration tool, a lead instrument, etc.
7 string guitars are still guitars (in fact plenty of jazz guitar players have been using them since the 50's). 8 string spawned a slightly new and different thing. 9 strings will probably inspire all kinds of new stuff. *There are 10 string classical guitars ... -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

A lot of Rickenbackers have two truss rods so they can't use that excuse,
