Halo XSI 10 string Guitar

What is the "NTune" tuning system? Is that similar to the Gibson "Robot Guitars"?

EDIT: And wtf do you tune it to? Without fanned frets there's gotta be some tension/string gauge issues.

i think the pickups are bass pickups, don't know what it tuned to but the price was in the 3500 3600 range.

The NTune is probably the tuner built in to one of the knobs Waylon told me about. It's a neat idea.

That said I wouldn't do business with Halo again, and I was glad to get my money back at the end of the day.

Nope EMG doesent make pickups that large, the 6 string version(45DC) is used for 9 strings and cant cover the range of 10 strings. Waylon said himself that they are real EMG guitar pickups

it's pretty crazy that it was EMG 10 string pickups in it.

30", C#1-A4, and 27 frets.

Wow, what string gauges do they expect you to use on that? Especially for the high A...

For the A4 string I'm pretty sure Waylon contacted Garry about that.

Not sure about those pickups or what Waylon said, but EMG definitely does make pickups that wide...and much wider.

wow, talk about a crazy range for one instrument. I honestly don't think i could play it though, damn short stubby fingers!

OEM or production? If so It would be a nice alternative to handwound/expensive 10,11 and 12 string pickups
