Framus 9 string guitar...(yes, really)

FRAMUS-9-STRING · 06-07-2008, 01:08 AM

I have an ivory and natural maple colour Framus 9 string electric guitar...Had it for around 20 years...picked it up used at a pawn shop...couldn't turn it down!

I has the top three strings doubled, so it sounds a bit like a 12 string when chording...

I HAD a 'whammy bar' but the bar is missing...

It has the same premise as the 9-string Matt Pike from High On Fire uses.

yeah, but...the whole point of my 9 string is not to go 'lower' (like to a low 'B')...It's obviously to make the sound closer to a 12 string electric, right?

and, Schecter doesn't MAKE a 9 string...

so, I guess I'm gonna have to stay with the Framus, eh?

for the heck of it, I have tried to find other '9-string' electrics...and acoustics...

a few, like Alvarez make/make them...Halo is going to be doing one...

I think that the new Halo should be called the Halo 'Framus'...heh heh heh

seriously, when I DID have 9 strings on the 'ol Framus, it hada very interesting sound...

I was thinking of wiring the upper pickup so it would just pick up the three top strings...

that way, by changing the polarity of the pickup line and combining it with the lower pickup's output - you could get a sort of phased / harmonic...

well, maybe...

nevertheless, the whole point of this forum seems to be for extended bass 7-strings...I just thought you guys/gals would be interested in seeing a guitar with a 'different' premise...

obviously, if Halo is gonna be making one - there must be interest in the idea...still...and given that my old Framus is over 30 years old now, that idea's been around for a while...

there have been 10 stringers too...check Wikipedia...
