if you're talking about the 8-string, novax makes them (the same company that makes john mayer's fanned fret guitar). anyone can buy them, but they cost a pretty penny because Ralph Novak and his people custom make each guitar specifically to your specifications. <a href="http://www.novaxguitars.com/">Novax guitars</a>.

you might be able to do it, but it's not good for the neck of your guitar. the vast difference (kinda sounds like vas deferens, haha) in tension can really fuck with the neck.

If you want an inexpensive baritone you really should consider the dano's. I paid 200 bucks for my dano and the sound is amazing. It's hard to believe a cheap korean guitar like that can have such deep rich tone. I looked into getting a jerry jones baritone which I believe is what dave plays but it's basically a remake of the danelectro with higher quality materials. I could'nt justify spending 700 bucks on one though. Take a look at the reviews on harmony central and see what they say. As somebody that has one if you get a dano baritone it will probably do what you want it to and it will save you alot of money.

while it is close to a 6-string 7-string, it is not. it has a F# instead of a G, though i suppose you could just tune that up. on the topic of non-six string guitars, has anyone ever seen/heard charlie hunter? he plays an 8-string guitar. the top 3 strings are the EAD from a bass, and then then next five are the ADGBE from a regular guitar. pretty crazy stuff, he plays the shit out of it though. go <a href="http://www.charliehunter.com/">here</a> for more information
Damn, those things are crazy.
Thats what makes them so fun to play! I think everyone should try one.

Lots of companies do. I happen to own the Fender Subsonic version. You can only get those from the Custom Shop though.

That's alot of quotes.
