Members maggotspawn Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 Might as well just get a 7 string if you're looking to buy another guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 i think they call that a 'bass'. i went to my local tech's shop about a month ago and this kid, probably 15 or 16, had the low-end Ibby 8 string in there and was basically asking my/the tech "how to work it" and what strings should he get, and tunings, etc.. probably read something on here that was 8 string related and went and got one and don't have a fuggin' clue what he's doing low .80 string on a guitar?? got damm son of course, my two lowest strings are a .158 B tuned to A and a .124 E tuned to C but still... for me, scale length is irrelevant. it's all about string composition. i use a custom set of Circle K's and on my 34" Spector our drop tuning (even down to drop F# and Bb) kicks ass. tho, like has been said if you want skinny(er) sets, get something w/ an extended scale.

Members Murdoch Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 low .80 string on a guitar?? got damm son I once used a .70 for a low A on a 7-string, but I did that because it was a fixed bridge guitar without locking tuners, so I wanted to maintain string tension. Worked very well...but an .80 seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeloAngelo Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 this. why do you want it to be a 6 string? tone. i loved the sound of my ex400 tuned to B or drop A with regular slinkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members killgrace Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would look for a baritone for those tunings, or even a 7 string. Something with a 27" scale is gonna be noticeably tighter sounding when tuned that low. Yup...Esp/LTD Viper VB...27" scale...12-52 boomers with the wound 3rd...PERFECT.

Members xautumnsashesx Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 If you have a Fender or Fender type guitar, a baritone conversion neck is always an option. Warmoth and All Parts make them, and a few other companies. Also, here is a link to a builder on ebay. They start off unfinished at $65. As soon as I have some coin I'll be ordering one. Although that may be awhile, job situation pending.http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-Custom-Baritone-necks-starting-65-w-options-/150654114812?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2313af5bfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
