    8 strings with "gentile" fanned frets?

    I built an 8-string for myself a few years ago. The parallel fret was at the 12th . The scale was 25.75/28. After my horrendous table saw accident (cut off my left index finger -- they saved it, and I have @ 60% use), the steep lower frets made playing difficult, especially rhythm. The...

    8 strings with "gentile" fanned frets?

    This is what I get for typing without glasses. On the one hand, I want to start a new thread, but on the other, I can’t wait to see the shitposting.

    8 strings with "gentile" fanned frets?

    A fanned neck with a 12th fret parallel ends up being too steep for me. Strandberg's neck with the more gentile fan works well for me. Are there other builders using a similarly gentile fanned neck?

    Less "Shreddy" looking 8 String?

    I tried out a 7 string Boden this weekend, and the fan seemed different. It was quite playable and not as “steep”. Am I imagining that?

    Less "Shreddy" looking 8 String?

    LP Style isn't me; I don't know why. The JR 208 looks the bee's knees. I read that there were some QC issues, especially with the fingerboards, is that true?

    Less "Shreddy" looking 8 String?

    I'm looking to get an 8-string (budget is @1k). I'm not a shreddy guy......(My 6 strings are a strat and a PRS Vela, if that helps) Most of the eight strings I see are pretty shreddy looking. It is just not my thing - I'm not into metal, it's cool and al - but not my jam. I have a hand...

    FS Custom 8 string

    I started building this guitar a few years ago and it is my #1. I was going to build some guitars as a hobby, but in an unrelated accident, I cut my left index finger off. Luckily, it is reattached and working (mostly), but the fanned frets just don’t work for me anymore. So after a year and a...
