could I get some help pricing the parts I would need for this....
Kahler 10 strings are flippin expensive.
Scale 25″ – 30″ 0E,0B, 1E,1B,2E,2A,3D,3g,4b,4e,4a/g# what gauge should i use? Please! I am just wondering how much it would cost and could you recommend the parts I would need for, an eleven string 8 octave (0E-a4/5 or g#4/5) with a hollow body semi acoustic, 48 frets and a surface mounted vibrato that doesn’t interfere with the organic sustain too much. scale (top to bottom.) 25″-30″ I’m not even exactly sure what string gauge to use on the last 4, maybe? 80. 100. 120. 140.? tuning is (low to high.) E,B,E,B,E,A,D,g,b,e,a/g#. I would ideally probably separate the treble extreme highs from the extreme lows (20.6 hz, I think.) with two humbuckers (diagonal) behind the 36th fret and a nice piezo pickup neat and discretely placed, with all controls pots and all placed on the side, like an electro acoustic. I even have designs on the look of it resembling a mutated les paul with an arch top and sound hole in an unusual place, and the paint being mono chrome turntable illusions maybe current, but with black glitter and glossy coat, alternatively maybe a cherry red woody french style polish. what do you think? do-able? how much would that 48 fret 11 string cost? in £? and with fancy woods? I’m no expert when it comes to hard ware but I want to be able to hear it! do you take bitcoin? PS; couldn’t you make strings out of a super conductive carbon like Graphine? It is 30 times harder than diamond. and you could even make coils out of it, They could be coils an atom thick and allow for complete resistance free electrical power, the pick ups could be as thin as tape. they could be placed between the frets even!

Otherwise I heartily approve of bonkers multi stringed instruments
Originally I wrote humbuckers but it auto corrected to a better idea.
