    The ergonomics and viability of super wide fret fanning

    I own a non-fanned 30'' nine-stringer and my conclusion is that 8-strings guitar are probably the ideal number of strings for a guitar, since you can do a fan like 25,5''-28,5'' or something and enjoy perfect string stiffness on each string, while also retaining the ability to choose heavier...

    MOOV Travel Guitars? 7-8 Strings

    Had this appear on my YouTube recommended page out of the blue and thought it was kinda neat: Been searching for an acoustic for a while and came *this close* to picking up an LTD Thinline but some other stuff came up and it escaped my mind. Really digging lack of traditional body (biggest...

    Custom cab for 8 string?

    I have an 8 string that I tune to drop-E and am looking into getting (or building) a speaker cabinet so I can stop running it through my tiny practice amp. I know standard guitar speakers *can* handle the extended range, but I was wondering if splitting the signal and routing lower frequencies...

    Help me spec out my dream 8-string - Valravn Guitars?

    Hi fellow 8-stringers! I am looking into getting my very first 8-string. I really really like my RGD71ALMS Axion Label 7-string with FishmanFluence Moderns in it - especially how the neck feels - so I am looking for something comparable in the 8-string world. I stumbled over Valravn Guitars -...

    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?

    String gauge on 25.5 - 27 extended range tuned to drop F#?

    (first off sorry if these kinds of questions get spammed here too often) I just ordered the Ibanez RGD71ALMS which is 25.5 to 27" and I can't for the life of me find a pack of strings that would make sense for this setup and my desired tuning of drop F#. I found what I thought was a good pack...

    I got down to Drop B0 on my Baritone. Check my video

    I got a new video up. I wanted to see how LOW I could really go on my one Baritone. I found that Newtone strings had a set of Axiom Bass VIs strings, which are all wound 24-100. I put them on my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone and tuned it all the way down to Drop B0! Was fun to mess around with, was...

    Baritone 30-inch scale in Alternate Drop D tuning

    I had a bit of fun with my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone. I've been fiddling with the Architects-style alternate Drop F# tuning. And thought it would be fun to take this tuning down even further. So I have done the same type of tuning but down to low D on my Baritone 30-inch scale length. So the...

    Architects/Wage War Extended Range tuning

    Hey SevenStringers, So I had a little fun and put together this video on how to get that Architects/Wage War tuning on your standard 25.5 inch scale 6 string. I was trying this thing out with some 12-52 strings and it just wasn't working. So finally I got some Ernie Ball Top Heavy 8 strings...

    My first extended range guitar -- 7 string or 8 string? Multi-scale or not?

    So, I think I'm finally ready to buy my first extended-range guitar. I'm by no means bored with my six-string electrics but a lot of the songs I've been wanting to learn (Deftones, Meshuggah, Trivium, Periphery, Korn) all pretty much require an extended range instrument to pull off, at least...
