Members DaleH Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Way over the top for anything I would use, but it's an awesome build for sure. That trem block and trem setter setup looks great. What guage strings work best on something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ahull123 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 I started with 10's as they were readily available, but with the 27" scale the tension proved too much and the trem felt like it was going to rip right out of the guitar, So I then used 9's and life got a lot better, I had to do another set-up but I changed the trem block from brass to stainless steel at the same time to make it worth the time, that made a big difference to the tone.here is a video of my friend playing it, he is really good. at this point it still had the 10's, he's a trooper, as it is hard as hell to do bends with it at this point!

Members Canadian Jeff Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Saw that on SS.org a little while ago. I'd have no idea what to do with 8 strings (or 7 even), but I'd crawl over broken glass for that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 VERY cool! 8-strings are fun to play. My only complaint would be the Wizard profile neck. I tried out an RG-2228 a couple of years ago, and found the neck (which had a Wizard profile), to be too thin for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
