Hey guys ever heard of a 16 string guitar? Well here it is http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2009/10/steve-albinis-16-string-guitar.html
I've also heard that the guys from Korn have 16 string guitars(2 course 8 string)can anyone either confirm or deny this? Can't find any info about this anywhere.
You mean 8-course, two strings per course.

It's hard to tell looking at it, but it kind of looks like the four high strings (D, G, B and high E) have three-string courses while the A and low E string have two. Reminds me of a mandolin-like instrument I saw in Chicago with twelve strings - four three-string courses that had one low string and two high octaves, kind of like a twelve string guitar version of a mandolin.
You'd certainly learn how to tune quickly (not to mention hear when something was out of tune!) with this guitar.
Peace

Ahhh yes that well you got the point :lol:

Sounds very interesting but like a nightmare to tune!!!!!!!! I wonder if they have any banjo's like that?
I'll see your 16 string guitar and raise you 2 strings:

I was at a Guitarpeople's show here in Stockholm in August and we have a swedish classical guitarist that played a classical guitar with 16 separated strings. Yes, it was a very wide fretboard and he played a wonderful Beatles-medley on it.
And of course and don't remember his name. And I can't find it on youtube either.

Hmmm 16 singles! Must be very hard to play the bass strings!
Sometimes Pat Metheny plays a "thing" with 42 strings (not sure if it is still a guitar). It is called Pikasso.
