    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...

    Tuners for 8 string

    Hey, it's been a while since I was here. I got an eight string on kijiji a year or so ago and my Korg GA tuner has never been about to get the F# and I've had to use an old Line 6 spider's built in tuner. What does everyone else use/recommend for tuning an eight string?

    Where can one find Novax 8-string style guitars?

    Hello, I'm new on this forum. I've been looking for a novax style 8-string guitar (extended range/fanned fret neck and dual output for separate bass and guitar pick ups). I wonder if anyone know of any brand/builder in Europe that's making something similar? Kind regards,

    Has anyone tried the 81-8s?

    Im looking to possibly get a set of the hum cap sized ones for my hybrid. I love the 57/66 but I really miss having that extra output and power that some of the other EMGS have. How do they compare to the 808 or the 6 string version of the 81? I liked the 808 but thought it was a little muddy...

    New Project "Girls Night" Lyric Video & Mix (Axe Fx II, Pod X3, Kontakt 5, GGD)

    Hey guys, started a Non-IDOLER (but still IDOLER produced) project called "Girls Night." Not sure if this is considered a "djent" project, haha, but I did use my Agile 8 with BKP Aftermath in the bridge for guitars, went for a really gritty/dirty guitar sound, but still wanted it to sound tight...

    Dirty sounding prog metal

    I posted a song off my forthcoming mini-album thing (it's 35 minutes long); I was reluctant to post this here but I guess I'm gonna give it a go. I intentionally wanted it to be different from other prog bands and every song on the record differs a big deal from the one before it. It's pretty...

    Gear Decision thing: SOMEBODY HALP

    So, long story short; I'm trying to decide between getting a Carvin DC400 on craigslist or around 950$, or an Ibanez TAM 10 which is around $300+ more than the Carvin. I can't come to a decision because, the carvin has a floyd which i feel like i would play around with, while the TAM 10 is just...

    Bands that use 8 strings?

    Hey guys! So I very recently picked up an 8 string that I fell in love with! I didn't look very far into searching for bands that use them, because I knew I was going to write with it regardless of who else did, but I can't seem to find much now! So I was wondering, what are some good bands...

    RG2228 and Laney Ironheart. Can you help an ERG and EMG noob get good tone?

    I don´t know if this should go in the recording forum (so feel free to move it mods): So as some of you know already I have been going through some trial and error and just an overall adjustment process on my RG2228. Now that I have my string and tuning problems pretty much sorted out I...
