I could think n' rationalize to the end of my days on this earth. But, I just don't get it/see the purpose. I'd REALLY have to see it in some capable hands, for sure. And, I'd still have to be convinced. But, huge credit goes into the skills to build one of these.

Yeah thats outragous.
cost of a set of strings = $200
time to restring = 3 hours
The look on your guitarists face when you whip out more strings than him = Priceless

Hi,
Isn't Stewart McKinsey a member of this forum?
He was at NAMM this year tearing it up.
He was also at a local bass hang recently and brought his 10 string Conklin. Good stuff.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks for posting the clip. I was wondering what the heck you'd do with all those strings...
Hey, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent fo'ks.
I was guessing it'd be more of a touch instrument than an EB, but from the clip seems like it's a combination of guitar, touch instrument, and EB. I can see how that'd appeal to some musicians.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
I'm kind of over wood necks, as I'm sold on graphite, but still VERY cool that this kind of work is only a few hours away from me. SICK!
Decommissioned aircraft carrier? Dreams of orthopedic surgeons wishing to do more tendon releases for DeQuervain's patients? Yikes. . .
It's amazing people can actually build such things! Not my cup of tea, but it shows how much one person differs from 
In fact he is Stewart is known for his 9- and 10 string basses. Kinda funny that he said the other basses with less strings were not a challenge for him to play

THIS would be easier to play and you could do more with it. Did I ever mention I met my wife at a Sitar class? Well, I did, we married and now we sit around frequently. We like sitting. And I usually use a pick. 
Uh, forgot to mention. This bee-atch has serious neck dive.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
