And do you know which strings on that thing were extra (like were there extra bass or treble, or a combination)? Seemed like he never played the top 3 or 4 bass strings on that song anyways.

Actually, I have no idea. I would asume that the added strings were lower than E2... I think that's E2... Becuase the 7th string on 7 string guitars are lower... Besides, they looked like they were wound, as only the lower strings on a guitar are, not the treble strings.

I know he didnt use all of them, though he's probably played them before... Even if he didnt in that peice. Besides, think of doing barre chords with that thing!
