You mean to intonate properly at 30"-30.5" scale length right? Because if there's no chance of getting it to intonate at that low of a note, why the fuck build an 8 string with a kahler? This scares me being as my prefered tunign would be F standard. Please explain. Also, 30.5" Intrepid fixed bridge=sex.30.5" has been requested once or twice, but it's not up for consideration in this particular run.
I wouldn't be surprised if a 30.5" Intrepid comes at some point, but that one would definitely have a fixed bridge.
I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a chance in hell of getting a low F# (or lower as people would be want to do with such a scale) to intonate on the current Kahler design. Even if it could intonate properly, there likely would not be enough range of motion in the saddles to also have the first string intonate correctly as well. And even if you solve that one somehow, there's the fact that a string that long tuned that low might not have any tuning stability at all with trem usage. (Though there exist trem systems for bass, so maybe it would work? Who knows)
