    Extended Range Classical Guitars

    A guy on the ERGnerds facebook group recently posted about the ibanez 8 string classical. The scale length is apparently not as much of an issue on the classical guitars as it is a 25.4" scale as another member was able to tune to a low f# without much issue.

    Looking into a Carvin HH2

    Hey all, its come time to look into a new sixer for myself and after going headless with my eight I'm thinking about just eliminating headstock's all together. Though a tremelo is something I'd like to have on a six string. Currently looking into an HH2 for reasons but I have a question...

    Which 8 String guitar should I get?

    I love my rg8 and the stock pickups aren't horrible. And like others have said, they're really customizable if you like it. I have absolutely tiny hands and the neck is perfect for me. My neko of8 has a thicker neck and its not too much of an issue for me.

    NGD Neko OF8

    It's really good. Had some setup issues at the start and the high E can get tedious but once it's set up and in tune I don't have to adjust it really.

    NGD Neko OF8

    Thanks man! Haven't had any issues with it yet, I'm not a frantic strummer though so you could put a switch just below the pickups and I wouldn't notice.

    NGD Neko OF8

    End cost came out to around 1600usd. Almost as much as an OS but I was able to build it with the pickups and wiring I wanted to use. Not to mention its aesthetically more pleasing to my eye that a boden OS.

    Most versatile 8 string pickups

    When I was putting pickups in my last 8 it was between the Pegasus/Sentient combo, a set of Ionizers or BKP Jugs. I went with the Pegasus and sentient and I'm not looking back. I feel like the pegasus could be a little hotter but I don't think you'll have an issue with that. They split very...

    Grounding the Strandberg hardware

    No its one of the neko of8's. I managed to get it done much more simply that I was anticipating.

    Grounding the Strandberg hardware

    How does one go about this? I've read a lot of conflicting information with no examples online that I can find. Would anyone care to enlighten me? Pictures would be wonderful!

    Where to get custom 8 string Brass nut in California?

    Your best option would be to go to a well regarded luthier at an instrument store nearby and talk to them. There really aren't any available on the market, I've looked.

    Are all potentiometers and swiches created equal?

    I went with the push push pot by WD music. I'm hoping it works well because I like the idea of push push instead of push pull lol. If you want to know how it works I'll be posting a NGD when my Neko OF8 is finished.

    Are all potentiometers and swiches created equal?

    I'll have to look into carvins components and see what I can find haha. I've been reading into tapers, what do you guys recommend? I get the basic theory I just don't know what is generally best in a guitar.

    Are all potentiometers and swiches created equal?

    I'm not worried about parts that fit, I can always file or modify slightly if something isn't the right size. I'm also smart enough to make measurements first haha. I've been recommended Dimarzio and CTS components a lot so those look like the best bet. Anyone have experience with this? * WD...

    Are all potentiometers and swiches created equal?

    Wiring up a guitar for the first time. I'm looking at 2 humbuckers, a three way switch, push pull/push push volume pot and possibly a phase selector switch. Are there certain brands or models to look out for? I know you use 500k pots for humbucker typically. I just dont know the difference...

    Dual humbucker m80m?

    You could probably either yourself or hire someone to route and install a neck pickup.
