Ten String Grand™

I was visiting over at the 'ol SE and got to try Emmett's (very own) Ten String Grand. Ohhhh it was grand all right. It plays and sounds great of course but my lasting impression is that it's like riding in a "Cadillac". I remember when my Dad got one - wow. It was sooo roomy and cushy with a deluxe smoooooth ride. There is such room between strings to stretch out and ride the fret Rails, smoooth and deluxe! So much room in fact that I could pluck the strings on the melody side and tap the bass, and for that matter any combo therein. It sure looked big and beautiful too - black and chrome.

I special ordered a 10-string Grand late last year and received mine after it made a guest appearance at the Namm Show. I have previously owned numerous 10-string models; a Grand, an SB8 and I currently own an NS/Stick. In my experience, the "10-string widebody" is by far the easiest one to play, along with the SB8. The string spacing really does make a difference for me. I'm sure this model will not be ideal for everyone, but I think it will be a nice option for some. Hats off to SE for trying to accommodate so many different players and playing styles.
