Hey,
Only my second post on this forum, so go easy. I was just looking for your opinions on 8 string guitars. I am going to get an 8 string guitar, I was going to get a 7 but eventually I would want an 8 string so why not just jump in at the deep end. I have no intention of going lower than 8 in the foreseeable future but, who can tell. I'm currently in the process of researching, I have a few models in mind, but I was wondering if you could shed some light on the subject and maybe a throw in a few recommendations.
I live in Scotland and as a result there is a limited selection of brands I can obtain with my budget. My budget is £600 - £650 (about $920 - $1000). I would prefer a fixed bridge but a floyd rose is what I have currently so it's not a bad thing.
The 2 models I have looked at are the Ibanez RGA8-BK and the Agile Septor 828 MN. I haven't tried any out as of yet but I will only be able to try a select few as not many stores stock 8 strings here. The Agile is void of warranty as soon as it comes to the UK so that is a risk.
Any advice is much appreciated.
