    Kiesel 8 strings guitar with 3 single coils! Strat style.

    Hi all, I recently bought a Custom Shop Fender Strat that I really love but I always get frustrated because of the lack of 2 extra strings. I really enjoy the strat sound but I'd like to have 2 extra strings, it s just better for me, I enjoy extended range guitars. I already have a Skervesen 8...

    Belated NGD Pt. 2: .Strandberg* J8 Standard

    I don't know where to begin. I'm still in the honeymoon period so I won't say anything bad about this guitar. I'll try to review this post in the future. So the story goes like: I'm living in Japan but I was supposed to go back in August. Last month I get a call stating that I was gonna stay...

    Looking for some 8 string pickup recomendations!

    Looking to swap out the emg 57/66 out of my hellraiser hybrid for a passive set. I've been thinking about throwing in some lace deathbars but I'm trying to do some research. The pickups I have are 3.5 inches wide. Looking for something high output with good dynamic and harmonic tonality.

    Help with editing guitars

    Hey guys, I wrote a math/progressive rock/metal EP (16 minute long aprox) but guitars need to be quantized and I have no idea how to do it. Is anybody down to do it for free? Or at least explaining me step by step (real noob). Thanks.

    NGD!

    Today, I received my Halo Seraphim 8, and I am thoroughly impressed with its build quality. I know that Halo has had some trouble in the past with its QA. This guitar is listed on their website $1799.99, and I bought it directly from Halo via E-bay for considerably less. However, I feel that...

    8 string with a floyd. Am I asking for trouble here?

    I don't really have any experience with floyds and I'm not sure how they would work out on an 8 string. It's the schecter hellraiser c-8 with the 28" scale. I'd keep it a half step down with the Ernie ball.09-.080. Ive been just about dreaming of riffing out on this beast but I have a gut...

    Anyone tried out the new ernie ball 9-80 8 string set?

    I have an 8 string with a 25.5" scale which always went HORRIBLE with the 10-74 set and I'm thinking this string set just might be the answer to my prayers. Its something along the lines of 9-46+64+80. Its not perfect but its a HELL of a lot better than any other mass prodced 8 string set...

    Any one know if Scott Hull used 8 strings with Pig Destroyer?

    I've seen on a few sites saying he's used them in Pig Destroyer. This shocked the hell out of me because as far as I know everything has been drop a/Bb on 6 and 7s. I'm havin a hard time believing this because I know how acurate the internet can be lol.
