Members zac503 Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 Because most non standard guitar models either end up being Korean or Japanese made ones from Ibanez or Schecter, or $3500 ones from custom builders. A $1200-$1600 range 8 string is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the 8 string per say but others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -Juggernaut- Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 Wish they'd make a 6 string with that body shape & headstock, best they've had since they were using jacksons headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madrigal77 Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 8 strings sound like whale farts. 7 is as low as you can go without sounding like total ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been that close to the rectum of a whale to appreciate the tonal similarities. It must be an amazing experience, do tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevetemp Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 If more people played 7-8 strings like this guy! Most people play their baritones/7-8 strings exactly like 6 strings....just trying to get low. Same {censored}... different key. BOR-ing. I do like tuning "down" on occasion. But playing in C/B just to appear brutal? whatever. Thanks for the vid.....cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
