hey man thanks a lot!
the 8 string has been treating me well, the only trouble i have is that because of the scale and the fact that i like light stings i have been trying to find a set of .008 strings (just a set of six cuz the low strings feel good) that are long enough for the high E, the...
Hey guys!
We have been makin moves on this ep (and also trying to get a nice little 2 song teaser to burn onto cdrs and give out at shows and whatever) so we got icarus done with the new mix and with vocals (lyrics are up on the page as well)
Even though the mix has been revamped, its still...
Something like my instrument would cost about 2800 bucks, but his base price on 8 strings is closer to 2300, however you can bring that price down if you want it more barebones than his "base" model.
My parents are from Mauritius actually, look it up if have never heard of it, tiny island off...

It plays surprisingly awesome. My two concerns were the seemingly huge 30inch scale and the width of the fretboard. When i first picked it up, i wasnt even thinking about those two things until i remembered that they were concerns haha. It feels like a 7 string neck, and honestly the scale is...
thanks guys, i actually recorded that using my trusty podxt. In that one clip the heavy part is tuned kinda weird. The whole guitar is a half step down and the 7th string is A flat and the 8th string is Db! Even more the bass is doing an octave below that (albeit badly because it has the...
So I got my 8 and i recorded a crappy little clip. Not mixed or anything, and the bass is octaved but i go wayy too low for the bass in this clip i think its as low as Db on the heavy part haha, i badly need thicker strings for the bass now.
Its a really short clip, first riff is that djenty...
he will do whatever you want, this was his first attempt at an 8 string (but he did a lot of research and talked to a lot of luthiers to make sure it would not feel like a prototype guitar, and he says it came out great!

its a 30 inch scale.
I didnt go fanned because i have never played a fanned guitar and they seem to be very hit or miss, i didnt want to take a chance with this guitar, but someday i will try one out and decide for myself whether my next guitar will be fanned.
Hey man, im probably going to tune it to standard with a low B and a low F# and then sometimes drop that to E!
The pickups are a pair of Lundgren M8's, the lundgren M7 i have in my carvin 7 is my alltime fave pickup so it only made sense (plus they are one of the few companies who offere 8...
