The QA Guitars QA Guitars Iyr  9 String Prototype. This hand made in the USA guitar is a mahogany body with, 60s profile maple neck with rosewood fret board, 25.5 scale, 14" radius, 22  frets, QA tuners, Sung Il ABR-1 style bridge and tailpiece, 500k CTS pots, Orange Drop caps, Gavitt braided wire, Switchcraft output jack and switch, and PNAF pickups with Alnico 2 magnets and a thin skin lacquer finish. After our initial 9-string Bumble Bee the demand warranted this build. These can be done in different colors as well as exotic drop tops. Set up with a very low action it plays amazingly well and is extremely resonant as well.   Weighing in at only 6.0 lbs it is an absolute pleasure to play!. This guitar plays and sounds exeptional, the added strings on the low E,A and D provide a full fat tone when chording while the singular G, B and Hhigh E allow you to blast out those searing leads!
