Looking into some 8's at the moment for new avenues with my band.
I love the scale on my prestige RGD 7 (26.5), and feel like the half of an inch will make some of our stuff more difficult to play.
I massively want the RG2228A, however the 27" throws me off a little. Are there any 8s with similar quality/price point that have a 26.5 scale?
Another thing that might effect it is what tuning I'd put it in. It'd be drop G for the top 7 and a low C on the 8 (effectively double drop G as some might call it, or double drop C, can't remember for the life of me). Obviously the extra scale length will help with tension on the low end of things, but I'd be grabbing some pretty heavy strings from Circle K to balance that out.
