Building a guitar with half notes...( frets between frets ) and 8 strings ( from bass F# to F above normal high E...ilding

[thefishinmusician]

So.......Here we go......I've been commissioned to build an 8 string guitar with frets between " normal " frets to the 12th...Regular spacing after that to the 24th fret.

Tuning

F#.....(The one on the low E string on a bass )

B

E

A

D

G

C

F

O.K.......I'll be using .118 frets for the full neck, and .78 for the inbetweenies...

I will have to invent a bridge/tailpiece, no problem

It's an electric, carved hollow body, accoustic guitar top...( ala Danelecro, kinda. )

I'm hoping to squeak by with a 27 inch scale...

3 mini bass tuners on the near side of the peghead ( To accomodate the thick strings )

5 regular tuners on the other side.....

Graphite bars in the neck with 2 way truss

 

O.K.....Many heads are better than one....Thoughts ?

I think that's it. If I understand well, it's an 8 string baritone, with quarter tones on the lower octave, and regular semitones on the higher octave.

Kinda...With a lower low string on the bottom...
