One String Guitars

The Six String Sonics

The Six String Sonics is a Japanese band made with guys that don't like the conventional type of guitar. They say that it's limited and they are reinventing it. So instead of stringing one guitar with 6 strings, they have created 6 single string guitar which can be played together. "The performance itself is also a spectical. The guitarists sit on a 5 meter (20 foot) structure to play their instruments. This makes room for additional entertainment pieces on stage, whilst maintaining the musicians as the centerpiece."
