# Bespoke 18-String Guitars The Djent 2018 Guitar Offers an Unbeatable Range of Pitch Possibilities By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-02-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/18string-guitar References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/th3ycharg3/) & [ormsbyguitars](https://www.ormsbyguitars.com/djent2018.html) There are many ways that a musician can expand their repertoire of skills, and if you're a guitarist like Jared Dines, you could opt to commission a bespoke 18-string guitar, which is exactly what he did with the help of Australian guitar maker Perry Ormsby. This incredible guitar is crafted out of a Tasmanian blackwood body and comes with a trio of [bespoke Orsmby pickups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-guitar-pickups) that take care of the six bass strings and 12 treble strings. Elsewhere, the guitar features a [stone headstock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosewood-guitar) and an LED logo that gives this guitar a monstrously unique appearance. This 18-string guitar was a one-off created specifically for Dines, but other guitar enthusiasts looking to get [custom and bespoke guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highly-collectible-vintage-guitars) made by Orsnby will need to be willing to part with at least $3,000 for the privilege of owning a truly uniquely crafted guitar.
