    Harley Benton R-458BK FanFret - Too cheap...

    I bought my very first 8 string FanFret and reviewed it. Some pretty scary QC issues, but my expectations were really low considered it's a 180$ guitar. What do you think?

    NGD: RG5328

    I've been looking for another 8 string since I got my RG2228A. I have some issues with that guitar, mainly the slots in the nut are unevenly grinded down causing me to have make sacrifices on how low I can set the nut. So I decided to take the plunge on a RG5328 from Sweetwater. I've only had...

    Ibanez RGIM8MH Weathered Black finish to RGIF8 Black Stained finish.

    Is there any product or is it possible really to achieve that stained finish on my RGIM8MH finish? Could I run into some troubles or is it something actually easy and harmless?

    30” 8-string recommendations?

    I’m looking to get an 8 that will be able to handle as low as C#1, and it seems like the best scale length would be 30” for decent intonation. However I’ve noticed it’s pretty much only 6 string baritones that are easily available in 30”, which are tempting since I’d like to learn songs by...

    Treble side scale length opinions

    Hi everyone I'm looking to get into 8 string but have no experience with longer scale lengths (or multiscale, or extra strings). Looking for opinions from more experienced people on what scale length starts to make the high strings sound/feel bad. I noticed the Strandberg 8's are 26.5 on the...
