First Act 9-string?

That looks amazing !! Even nicer than the Yamahas

SO I'm assuming it's like a 12 string but without doubling up the 3 lower strings ?

I'd have to play it to decide if I hate the idea or love it. The shape reminds me of "lawsuit" Japanese pauls.

YOU FOOL.

Matt pike formed High on Fire after Sleep borked up. the other two became OM. Now sleep is cool as fuck again so they play shows at huge festivals I will never be able to go to.

Having witnessed Pike's black version of that guitar just inches from my drunken face. I still prefer the shape of my SG2000.
It's just a little too pointy. The body is nice and thick though.
