Would be fun to give it a test drive.   Tristan Username: Tristan Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 7:40 pm:    Did you see him playing this gimmick? Basically he plucks a chord out of a selection of about four sus chords on those other necks and basically playing like on a regular acoustic, something that's not too far from Steve Vai and that 3 neck guitar of his in one of the G3 shows (what do you think of that one?) btw, here's Michael Hedges doing his thing and my favourite Pierre Bensusan   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 3:26 am:    That thing looks like a compromise to me. six   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 7:05 am:    If you like to have many strings without a neck ... http://www.koistinenkantele.fi/eng/index.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantele   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 8:08 am:    I have always been a fan of the Chapman Stick but never had the bottle to go buy one. Has anyone here had a go? six   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 11:39 am:    Okay guys, try to beat this: Cheap Trickīs Rick Nielsenīs Hamer: Harry   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 11:42 am:    Plus another 5 necks makes 10 necks on 2 guitars...

Basically he gets some wonderful sympathetic drones going from the various string groups and then plays a melody on the fretted necks. Very beautiful sounds...especially from such a guitar master as Metheney. On the show, Pat played the intro to a song on the 42 string, then he switched to an early PM signature guitar. Single pickup with single round cutaway. Sounded fantastic!!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 2:16 pm:    Tim: I saw him play it live. There's a DVD of a concert filmed at a winery in CA (I believe) where he plays the song with the Picasso. I forget what it's called, but I'll check tonight.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 2:18 pm:    Oops, I just went to the wikipedia article and it mentions that the DVD is Imaginary Day.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 2:54 pm:    I need 6 or 7 axes on stage to accomodate open tunings I use and so forth... and for 12 string songs.... I think I'd rather have the bunch of axes around me than carry Rick's axe on my back. But... part of being on stage is "performing" and "theatrics" so... a 5 neck axe is just part of the show I guess. It's a famous guitar, eveybody's seen it. If I owned it, I would like it. I like it anyway. What's the deal with that baby blue strat with 900 necks?   Silverstrings Username: Silverstrings Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 6:45 pm:    Bob Some people (in this case artists) have way too much time on their hands. but it would make a great conversation piece if displayed at home.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2007 - 12:14 pm:    I'd like to see the cases these things fit into.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2007 - 2:11 pm:    They'll fit in here...
