Sorry folks, but this is game over time. 
Here is the craziest collection of Roscoes, including a pair that will never be repeated....39 strings all in a row:

yep you're right. Talk about not being able to make up your mind.
He still doesn't have one with the wood-chipper modification though. So I think I'm still king.  |

Has Keith vowed to never make anything bigger than a 7 again?

We presently have one set of 8 string Bart pickups and one 8 string bridge, so we COULD be coerced into ONE MORE 8, but that will be the last of those.
The 9 string is a one-of-a-kind, and will remain as such....
....how is it on the dark side, padwan?

And it's just fine over here, Palpatine.

And it's just fine over here, Palpatine. | It's more of a prep & production issue for us, we just don't do enough of that type of instrument for us to tool up for it, and that makes it more difficult, therefore more expensive to do. The fact is that since I came to work here, we have had a sum total of NO requests for 9 strings or more, and ONE request for an 8 (which was apparantly not very serious). No incentive to get involved in that side of things under those circumstances.
Even 7's are pretty thin, we have one in the entire schedule right now (~300 instruments in the production schedule, ONE is a 7! ), and 7 in the 2.5 years of my tenure here. Compare that with the SKB 3006, which in the same time we have taken orders for 138. That's a 20 to 1 ratio.
...oh the crazy fun things I do here for work... 
...Palpatine, hm? Beats being Jar Jar, right!
