Think he actually is using an 8 string guitar.
This thought has crossed my mind plenty of times since I'm a sucker for extended range guitars - it's cool to see someone actually give it a go! Honestly did not seem that successful ... makes me appreciate my Railboard that much more
Oh, you're so right--that is an 8-string that he's trying to make work. He was doomed to fail from the start. Although Emmett does make 8-string tapping Sticks as well, and of course, the NS/Sticks. When he started talking about cutting off the arms of the guitar, I just cringed. Get a Stick, man!
And speaking of Railboards, I was watching videos on guitars made from non-traditional materials, and they got excited about a guy's prototype that he made out of aluminium. I thought, "Pshaw, Emmett got there a while back and he's coating them with bling now, too!" but then they made a guitar out of colored pencils glued together, and that just proved the point that they saw the aluminium guitar as a novelty. Sounds sweet, yo! The woods do too of course.
