    My custom 8 string Barlow Guitars progress log

    Thank you, I did get my money back, so I am happy about that. The guitar did play very well; it had a nice, low set-up, and the neck was comfortable.

    Hello everyone, I apologize for my absence on the forum. The build took a year to be completed (estimated build time was 8 months), and when it arrived, fit and finish was very nice, but the bridge pickup was microphonic, so it needed to be sent back. After several months of the issue not...

    Thinking of buying an 8 string...need opinions.

    My Agile 828 Intrepid has a massively thick neck, as well as a 28 5/8" scale, and I'd say that it's a sturdier and better built guitar than the Ibanezes of the equivalent price, but the neck is MASSIVE. It may be an issue for smaller hands. The scale length may be a little long for a first 8...

    What Do You Want to See More of in the ERG Market?

    Just saw it- I used to have a tele with a Humbucker in neck, a tele neck pup in middle and a tele bridge pickup; it's a surprisingly versatile configuration for sure.

    IKR!!! I actually have a custom 8 string being built for me with an HSS configuration, but I really wish a production model could come out with that spec
