Rick Toone 8-String

Condition: preowned, near mint.

Rick Toone occupies a unique space in the guitar world where aerospace engineering meets artistic vision. This 8-string represents his extraordinary approach to instrument design in ways that fundamentally reimagine what an electric guitar can be.

The uniquely designed neck provides clarity, sustain, and frequency response that sets these instruments apart. Playing this 8-string, you immediately understand why artists like Tosin Abasi describe the experience as "hyper-real." The construction delivers seasonal stability with no adjustments needed regardless of climate changes.

Rick solved the fundamental challenge of 8-string guitars: making them comfortable and musical rather than just extended-range novelties. Players consistently report that the neck is extremely comfortable and that playing the low strings is much easier than with other 8-strings.

Sonically, this instrument occupies its own category. Players describe hearing "each note ring true" with "uncommon clarity" and a "beautiful tenor saxophone sound in the low and mid registers." The lightweight construction makes this surprisingly comfortable for extended playing sessions.

Rick Toone guitars represent glimpses into the future of guitar design. For players ready to explore new sonic territories, this 8-string opens doors that you didn't even know existed.
