I would never recommend a Schecter 8 after trying one personally ... the scale length isn't long enough to cater for the F# and it will buzz everywhere if you to have low action.
Just my 2 cents.
It was more the buzzing giving me a headache ... I suspect it had uneven frets and I don't think it's worth the money to bother fixing. I'm not impressed by Schecter 8 strings at all ... the scale length is far too short.
I see. I would definitely like to save the money up to get a custom built 8, it seems that's the only way to actually get a good quality one around here.
More to add:
Don't like fanned frets, 28" scale is a must ...
Like I said, I guess it doesn't matter if they aren't based in the UK. Where is the best place to go to get a custom 8?
Thanks for the links.
I guess it doesn't really matter where it's from, as long as it's good quality and within my price range. Anydoby got a custom from 1 of these 2 sites? Any other opinions on where is the best place to go for a custom 8?
Seems there's no option for EMGs or Kahlers on his 8s ... perhaps I should have been more specific.
Where do I go to get a high quality custom 8 string with EMG 808s and possibly a Kahler trem?
Title says it all really ... I read about some US custom companies (like Halo) but as soon as I mention them my thread gets closed. :rolleyes:
Where do you all recommend I go for a ~£1000 custom 8 string?
I had a look through a couple of horror story threads that were both old and not about 8 strings.
My question is regarding specifically their 8 strings and I wondered if anybody had one here.
I do know yes, and it really was shit. Wouldn't recommend their 8s to anyone, that's why I'm getting rid of it for another 8.
EDIT: How about going custom made? Where do I go to get a custom 8 string in the UK?
That's a possiblity ... but I do like trems, and I realize an 8 string Floyd Rose would be a humongous pain in the ass and I would never want to go near one even if it did get designed, so I like the idea of a Kahler, I'm just wondering is it worth the hassle?
Are there any Agile Kahler users...
:wallbash:
So here's the deal, I picked up a Schecter Hellraiser C-8 thinking it was good for the cash blah blah blah, etc etc etc. Turns out the scale length is far too tiny and it's giving me fret buzz headaches no matter what I do. (I COULD fix it by raising the action, but I want low...
