The lower action means I can get a dirtier sound with the string slapping, against the frets/fretboard when I play. The string spacing / nut width specs are very similar to a 12 string guitar with the nut width being approx 50mm. Currently my tunings are: Main open A tuning from low to high AEAEAC# e/e This changes very easily to standard tuning with a low A bass string AEADGB e/e From the main open A tuning I can also very easily get to what I think the most practical tunoing for the general public – Open D tuning with a low A (this is how I played Jeff Martin’s 7 string), low to high ADADF# A d/d Since successfully showcasing the Ellis 7 string resonator (now the property of Jeff Martin of The Tea Party), Andrew Ellis and James Michael Thompson have been quietly designing, troubleshooting and eventually building what is truly a unique instrument and a world first. It is a Baritone Tricone Resonator guitar with eight strings, designed for bottleneck and finger-style playing. Thompson had previously been playing a regular six string National style resonator guitar for a short time before being asked to demonstrate Ellis’ unique 7 string resonator at the Frankston Guitar Festival in March 2005.

Why an 8 string over a 12 string?
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:44 am
Completely different things.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:24 am
good question…the 8 and 12 string are really different beasts. a 12 string would be awesome but this thing is capable of so much more due to the longer scale length and lower tuning.

anyone who wants to know, the song is Death Letter by Son House. The White Stripes do a brilliant cover i suggest listening to their live version filmed in Blackpool
September 20th, 2010 at 10:56 am

October 24th, 2010 at 10:27 am
