I recently received my second 8-string from New Hampshire builder Chris Stambaugh. The specs for this instrument are: -28" Scale(I am using a low F# to High E tuning with a 9 set of D 'addarios with a 70 or 72 on the bottom. I am still experimenting with the gauges.) -Birds Eye Maple...

NAMM was very cool! It was my first time at the show, so it was quite an experience. It was great to be able to meet some of my heroes and say thanks to them for the inspiration. It was cool to see the performances as well. It is nice to see that ESP is putting out a couple of 8's as well...

I currently only have one pick on my site of the 8. Here is the link: Eric Clemenzi, Guitarist Scroll down to the bottom row if you want to check out the 8.

Hi Everyone! Thanks again for all of the kind comments. Thanks to Chris for posting the player as well. If you want to hear more tunes, I just posted another full length on my myspace page(myspace.com/ericclemenzi). It is called "This is Song One" and is in two parts(the files were too...

Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for the complements on the tunes! I appreciate it! Also, thanks Chris for doing the interview!!:hbang:

Check out Chris Stambaugh at stambaughdesigns.com Chris will built anything. He is currently building a 7 string V for one of my students. He also built my fanned fret 8. You can pick the woods you want for the body, top, fretboard, you name it. He does good work and the going rate for...

Dynamically I really like Destroy Erase Improve. I think this is Meshuggah at their most progressive. Great solos, clean parts, and writing. Also a great seven string album.

I just dropped him an e-mail from his website. You can go to FreakKitchen.com or Freakguitar.com

I think most of the tone comes from his fingers. I was fortunate enough to have Mattias stay at my place when I helped him book a gig at Berklee College of Music. No matter what he played through it sounded like him. We even jammed through a couple of POD's and you can always tell it's him...

My latest release is with my progressive acoustic duo called Kangaralien. I use an Ibanez 7-string in the group. My friend Steve Belleville uses a 6 string Taylor. We do a lot of odd-time stuff, some Opeth-esque key/chord changes, that kind of thing. If you want to hear some of our tunes...

Quick question- how do I upload some tunes to the Jukebox? Thanks for the help! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry- found the answer!!

I am from Haverhill.

Hey Everyone! I posted a while back when I got my Stambaugh 8 string, but haven't done much since. My name is Eric Clemenzi and I am a guitarist from MA. I am a full time guitar instructor and play 7 string guitar with two groups, a prog metal group called Storms Approach and an acoustic...

Just a quick note on "For the Love of God". The basic progression changes between the key of E minor and F lydian. Here are a couple of the chords that make this happen: Chord #1: E minor add 9(E,G,B,F#) Since the chord Vai uses contains the F#, it cannot be Phrygian while playing the E...

Check out stambaughdesigns.com. He built my eight with fanned frets, sperzel locking tuners, nice woods, and Lundgren pickups for about $2200. He'll build anything you want- last I was in his shop he had some 9 string basses in the works. I have had my 8 for a few months now and love it. He...

That was one issue that Chris Stambaugh found with the Lundgrens - I guess the pole piece spacing was a little wider than usual, so to try and make a better fit for the pickups, he slanted them.

I love the Lundgrens- I can actually hear the sound of the guitar! I am very impressed with how clear they are. As far as the output goes, I was a bit concerned since I had heard many reviews saying they were too high gain. My main 7's are the RG 7620's with the Dimarzios, and I feel the gain...

Hey Chris- yup, it's me. Specs on the 8: Fanned Fret- 26"-23 3/4 Walnut Top Mahogony Body ABM Individual Bridges Lundgren Pickups Sperzel Locking Tuners Birdseye Maple Fretboard If you want to see some more pics, check out...

Hi! I wanted to post to let everyone know of a great builder just over the Mass border in New Hampshire named Chris Stambaugh. He just built me a fanned fret 8 with a low B and High A. Total cost was about $2200. His work is excellent and the guitar plays great. Check out his site at...
