A nine-string guitar is a guitar with nine strings instead of the commonly used six strings. Such guitars are not as common as the six string variety, but are used by guitarists to expand the range of their instrument by adding three strings. Different from the seven- and eight-string guitars the nine string guitar is often employed with three pairs of coursed strings similar to a twelve string guitar.

  • A nine-string guitar is a guitar with nine strings instead of the commonly used six strings. Such guitars are not as common as the six string variety, but are used by guitarists to expand the range of their instrument by adding three strings. Different from the seven- and eight-string guitars the nine string guitar is often employed with three pairs of coursed strings similar to a twelve string guitar. Often the three wound strings are single and the three thin strings are doubled to six strings. This allows dry power chords on the upper three and a more spheric chorus sound when all strings are played. One of the more known examples of the nine string guitar are the Vox Mark IX and the Vox Phantom IX.
