Eight string guitar

From Free net encyclopedia

An eight string guitar is a guitar with eight strings. Probably originating from Russia along with the seven string guitar variant in the 19th century, the eight string guitar has recently begun to gain popularity, notably among jazz artists such as Charlie Hunter, The Special Purpose, and Richard Scott, and metal artists such as Meshuggah. There are steadily increasing numbers of manufacturers offering eight string guitars and a production eight string seems likely. The main manufacturing company of 8 and even 9 string guitars is Novax Guitars established by Ralph Novak.Template:Musical-instrument-stub
