You guessed it- it's those Ibanez chaps. They've added more strings to more models, seen here are the solid top classical guitars, a 7 & 8-string version respectively. Distortion inclined people (myself included) embrace the application of the extra strings that make themselves heard/useful for intense/heavy music genres. You'd have concluded the fact that these acoustic behemoths have very little applications for cleans but let me just stop you there- were extra strings meant for drive/distortion/heavy music exclusively? Why do bass players who play more than 4 strings not get pigeon-holed into such restrictions?
So, fellow string benders, extras are there for the taking, should these have no applications for you, you should move on & leave them be. This is my retaliation (sort of) against people who blabber excessively when it comes to seeing non-conventional instruments out there addressing a niche market. You wish to stick to your conventions? Go ahead but do not deem others queer.
Seen here: Ibanez G207/G208 (top/bottom)
