7's that should be more

Taking inspiration from the post in the sevenstring forum.
What 7 or 6 string guitars would you like to see in a 8,9,11 string cinfiguration.

Ibanez RG8620
Parker Fly Deluxe 8
Conklin Groove Tools 9 (a la Rusty Cooley)

Personally, I'd prefer an eight with fanned frets, but I think it'd work fine without, but a nine string kind of needs fanned frets for sure. (That is, unless you manage some weird tuning)

Anything past nine gets awkward for my fingers, but they ought to make an affordable ten stringer.

Well, with what Garry Goodman has been saying about his strings I'd say fanned frets aren't required for 9 strings (love F#-high A).

I think they should make all guitars with 88 strings. No more. No less.
