I used to think the fanned fret stuff looked weird, but on this 9 string guitar it looks weird to not have them fanned.

[@samtoshner8002]

Right? I recently got my first 7 string and was looking for something multiscale. I think my search recalibrated my perception because my brain rejects straight frets now with more than 6 strings.

useless you got a evertune, always felt mutli-scale (fanned frets) should be considered when you go above 7 . It just seems practical as it helps compensate for tensions and intonation balance @@samtoshner8002

*in my opinion* ibanez is doing interesting and unique things at relatively inoffensive price points. so many guitar companies stick to the tried and true shapes and configurations and it’s tiresome. i’m happy to see ibanez branching out into experimental territory. it doesn’t matter how ‘usable’ it is in a traditional sense. what matters is that it inspires someone and i imagine there are people that are going to create some interesting things with this. the fact that this exists for those that want it is incredible, especially since it’s no longer an obscure and expensive custom-only configuration.

[@michaelkoenig6317]

We from southern Germany and Austria know this instrument already. Centuries ago when you went to Vienna to celebrate the “Heurigen” they had cithers and lutes with “contra” strings. Those were the days when a guy named Hans Moser intonated a song like “Let’s drink another glass of wine 🍷…” wonderful! For all people older than 100 it’s the perfect instrument to intonate the traditional songs of 1900. So come on. Just let the low strings ring and rumble and give us an old “Heurigen” hit. This guitar is perfect for this. Especially with a glass of wine😂

[@thisguy2973]

From a woodworking perspective, the glue is actually stronger than the wood once it’s bound. Using glue is a better binding than using fasteners which is why guitar bodies are glued together. Almost nobody makes one-piece bodies(unless you’re Heritage guitars, where all bodies and necks are one-piece.)

[@NathanielBTM]

most people with 9 strings don't try to play nice sounding chords using the 9th string because of these issues, though that's not always the case as it can actually add to some heavy genre's where a nasty atonal sound is desired for some sections. the lowest strings and tunings below E are more for a tone and specific sound rather than the actual note itsself, 9 strings are never supposed to replace a bass... again it's for the tone and sound people are after. A band that I can use as a great example is Humanity's Last Breath, now... they use a baritone 6 string instead of a 9 string but they go to tunings like Drop E down to Double drop A. give their new song Labyrinthian a listen, I believe it's in Double A#. so 7 notes lower than Drop E and you'll see just how good ridiculously low tunings can actually sound if you know how to do it right. their mixes are absolutely crushing...

[@jinxie1080]

Honestly when I see these 9 string guitars I wanna see how metal bands would use them to do interludes, very melodic passages or even severely atonal sections but much more in a Gorguts vein than in a metalcore vein if that makes sense.

[@el_kammeroni]

Sorry Henning, the glue that is used in guitars and construction is much harder than the wood itself. I used to be a "Holztechniker" and we tested glued joints and stuff, the break never appeared at the glue joint, always in the wood next to it. Just nitpicking here, I cannot say anything about the acoustic properties of the glue joints, not my field of work. Anyway nice review!

[@anthonychin8610]

This is also part of why multi piece necks are stronger than one piece, right?

[@el_kammeroni]

@@anthonychin8610 Yes, as far as I understand the matter. I am not a physics doctor or something but it seems logical to me.

[@phaeded0ut]

One way to deal with “floppiness” for the lower strings is to use a heavier strings for the low C#, low F#, and potentially the low B (for continued tuning in fourths. This said, there may be problems with the ball ends or the string itself fitting through the tuning machine and may necessitate drilling out the hole a little bit, too. I know a few folks in the jazz community who will add intervals between standard tuning of E, A, D, G, B, and E (low to high) or will tune down to D, with an added interval of the G below the A, and C below the D (typically the 4th string) on the guitar. Another thing, I’ve found is that I had to change the amp settings a bit more from what is typical for the application (what sounds and type of music is being played. If it is more jazz oriented and the amp is set to bass at 9 o’clock, middle at 6 o’clock and treble at 9 o’clock as the basis of comparison, then dropping the bass and middle down and increasing the treble a little depending upon the amp and instrument. This gave me a bit more clarity as was dropping the gain for the channel being used. I have to agree when getting into a 10-string guitar that tuning to a low G# is just a lost cause for me, personally. I can’t really hear the difference until I get to a full step above that contra G#. This said, moving away from a single scale instrument to a multiscale instrument fits my application much more and I can see what I am doing far easier than working with mixed intervals instrument like a Chapman Stick or Warr Guitar.

[@NeZversSounds]

The lower range gives limitations, but it doesn't mean you don't have anything to play. I think you are missing the point. Tossin might not know about the "Low interval limits", which doesn't mean he's deaf, he clearly made good use of those limits.

[@h34dyl4m4rr]

9 strings arent just for lower tuning its for tonal range. just because you cant comprehend it doesnt mean its stupid or doesnt have a purpose. now in regards to this specific guitar i think its absolutely over priced for the quality and amenities its has; possibly the fluences are most of the price tag.

[@kooaidkilla]

[@connorkeen6645]

If string gauge, scale length and pickups weren't a problem, I think this would be great. I think extended range instruments bring a new realm of creativity when used in all genres and compliment more instruments well with the ability to play wherever anyone else in the groups is or really isn't playing. I love using my 8 string for jazzy stuff, using low and "normal" chord voicings and holding down the rhythm section as a bass, with the possibility of higher guitar range for some solo stuff. Even in any conventional setting where I play a 4 string bass part I like to use my 8 string more than any "real" 4 string bass because it is more comfortable to me and has the same low range, and with the right EQ and preamp it sounds like a bass--especially coil split. In addition to all of that, I vastly prefer 5 strings, so I thought I'd dig this, but the scale on a 9 string should be much longer IMO. I mean, it's the same as a lot of Schecter 8s, I doubt it feels okay to play that lowest string. It's probably a nightmare to find the right string for that 9th and I doubt the pickups are any good for that use either. I'd totally still use it for some tech/slam death parts if I got it, but I don't believe that it'd sound decent in a mix put through a guitar amp, especially without thicker strings or a longer scale. I doubt I'd ever make that purchase lol.

[@garycoates4987]

I did try to play a 9,string before, the lowest string really didn't sound like anything being that low but too short to have the resonance a bass would have, I think for metal players it's just a kind of flex 💪, I think jazz players or fingerstyle players could actually use it, maybe with the multi scale neck to tighten up the lows

[@diegorhoenisch62]

While I suppose one might argue that glue joints affect how a structure vibrates, it would be difficult to find evidence that they hinder resonance. Perhaps they increase the resonances at certain frequencies but I don't see how they could absorb them. Any woodworker, and any guitar builder should know that when one tries to break a correctly glued piece of wood, the wood will NOT break at the glue joint. If a glued-up piece of wood breaks, it is the wood that breaks, not the glue. This suggests that the attachment at the joint is stronger than the wood itself. I am honestly unsure as to how one could prove the assertion that glue joints limit the vibration of a top. Cheers, Alan Tomlinson

[@gustavomazonave8536]

Exactly as it doesnt replace the bass that guitars can be tuned to F# or lower and sound good. you just need a good tone and a good bass tone. Nowadays it is still possible to tune a bass an octave lower, with huge strings of course.

My only real interest in a guitar such as this is to have the full range of a piano, without having to learn piano. I know that if you tune this guitar to a C standard, that will get you to the lowest note on a piano, but that still leaves you more than an octave below the highest note. I guess I will have to get one and play around with the tuning intervals & string gauges to get all 88 notes.

It *might* be lighter than a double-neck 6 string plus bass ... and if you're looping and want to record a bass loop and then play over it .... but otherwise I can't think of a reason to get it ... aside from how cool it might look on stage/in a music video.

[@jimberjamber8540]

These things desperately need a longer scale length, preferably multi-scale. I had one of the older models with the EMGs and trying to get the low string to stay in tune and intonated on each fret was impossible. Not having locking tuners also wasn't helpful. I was really hoping Ibanez would go back tot he drawing board on these but instead they just released the same model just with a different top and Fishmans. Lazy.

[@stepulestepulovic5700]

Just a small correction about a thing you said. The glue used nowadays for connecting pieces of wood together is actually stronger than the wood. t would actually mean that the resonance would be i guess a bit better(even though it does seem kinda dumb to just say, when there's a totally different effect when it comes to glue and wood). I'd say that that one thing is incorrect and a bit taken out of the past. The materials have changed a lot throughout the years. Other than that, great video. One more thing is that it isn't nescesarly meant as a combination of a bass and a guitar. It's just an enhancement. I guess it's just my opinion though.

[@ArnoVdVelde]

If the glue in the body is an issue - which I don’t think it is other than cosmetic - wouldn’t the same logic (glue = softer than the wood) be an even bigger issue on the five piece neck?

lol aint trying to be that guy, but wood glue is actually stronger than most wood, and definitely than any kind of wood used on a guitar. After clamping the glue, forcing it into wood itself, it cures and becomes really hard, there's no "damping". Wood glue doesn't equal cheap, it's just your mindset. You can make a guitar body with more than 3 pieces of wood and it will be strong, if not more than one solid piece. As well resonance will theoretically change, but not audible.

GLUE is not softer than wood mate. If you are using titebond as most of brands that joint is actually stronger than wood itself. So there shoudnt be any resonance loss (another marketing bs, especially on body). Just try to scrape a piece of dried titebond and you will see it acts more like glass when its breaking.

If 2 pieces one of them should only be the wing, but honestly, it shouldn’t really matter if it’s 1 or multiple pieces with good assembly and good glue.
