Re: Elliot sharp's eight string guitar

Hi David

Elliott was nice enough to let me try his eight sting a few years back. He 
is a very cool guy!
Doug Henderson built the 8 string. He was the guy who also made Elliott’s 
double neck guitar & Zeena Parkins’s electric harp, I don't remember the 
scale but at the time the bass strings were turned to E&B.  I believe it 
was 
a maple guitar with an ebony fingerboard, 3 Bartolini Jbass pickups & 
there 
was no tone control. I had a real nice feel & wish my NS Stick would have 
been as good. The last few times I have seen Elliott play he was using a 
Boss GT3, whammy petal & a boomerang loop box. He also had a powerbook & I 
think it was running MAX.
Cheers
Lou
