Skeletone

8 string and 12 strings are also avaliable

Hi,Im selling a brand new (DELUX) custom made Sonorus 10 string tapper.These hand built touch-style instruments take in the best parts of a Chapman Stick and combine them with the beautiful lows of a fender jazz and the clear highs of a strat.These instruments use a special unique scale length (28inch)...This allows easy reach of the full board and give the perfect tone and tension between a bass and guitar.It also means no special strings are needed,just your favorite standard guitar and bass strings. The instrument is perfectly balanced for comfortable tapping and uses a standard guitar strap.It features straplocks in 3 different places to allow comfort in both sitting and standing positions. The body and headstock is made from walnut with a beautiful rosewood veneer,hand carved and wax finished. The fretboard is a free floating fretladder kept straight and true using marine grade stainless rails.This gets rid of annoying trussrod tweaks.It stays straight in all conditions.It also stays super low. Although unusual looking the fretboard plays as well as a standard board,the 6mm frets are super smooth and comfortable.Within minutes you wont even realize your playing a fretladder.It's really pretty cool! The pickups are hand-wound SkellyRails made to suit this instrument perfectly.They are designed to have a full range from tight low bass to soaring highs.This instrument sounds superb. There are build diary's and photo's of many different Sonorus tappers and loads of great feedback from players all over the world. If your interested in tapping and want a high quality instrument without those crazy high over the top prices that some tappers are then this is a great way to get into the crazy world of touch-style tapping. Come by the facebook page and say hi.Im happy to answer any questions about this or any instrument you may dream up.I build custom orders with all kinds of crazy woods and scratch-plate colours. Tapping instrument should be fun as well as sound and look amazing and this is what i try to achieve with Sonorus instruments... Here is a link to my page,please say hi!...

Hi there! Im selling three Skeletone tappers.Two 10 strings and one 8 string... All three feature a Bass set and Harmony set of strings(Any tuning is possible on these instruments) These are tappers with Bassplayers in mind so the bass strings are always set on the bottom half of the instrument and the harmony on the top.The idea being that you play your bass parts with your strong left hand and tap harmony on the top set with your right! Of course there are no rule to playing these beasts and people will swap strings to suit.This is fine because the neck is kept dead straight with stainless rails,it will never move! It also features the free floating ladder fretboard.This unique board allows for a really low action and makes construction of the instruments super strong while keeping the instrument fairly light.The fretboard works exactly the same as a normal board.Just press behind the frets and off you go. The 10 string models feature custom Skelly rails,Volume and tone and marine grade stainless and brass marker frets. The instrumets are all pretty much handmade here in the UK.I machine the bridges,control boxes myself.And the scratch plates and control covers are handcut,as well as the Walnut body and headstock. The 8 string features a Kent Armstrong soapbar pickup.Volume and tone and handcut mother of pearl scratchplates. I could go on all night about these instruments but i wanted to keep this post fairly short and to the point.i would be more than happy to chat to folks about these tappers in more detail if your interested?

[url="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Skeletone-Tappers/291126257572658"]https://www.facebook...291126257572658[/url] All instruments include a free hardcase... Prices are 600.00 pounds including free uk shipping.Shipping worldwide varies from around 45.00 to 65.00 pounds... Thanks so much for checking out these wonderful tappers.If you always wanted to have a go at extending your bass playing into new areas but didn't want to pay a fortune for a Chapman or Warr then these are well worth a look.I take great care building each one and each one is individual.
