Hey there everyone, as you may tell from the title, I'm torn between a 7 string or an 8 string guitar.
I've sadly never owned either a 7 or an 8 string and was curious as to what you pros would say. I have played both 7 and 8 strings, but only very briefly, not really enough time on either to properly make a judgement.
Most people I know have said to start with 7, and then work up to 8, which would be the logical thing to do. Others say to go with whatever feels right for the way I play.
My problem is that I really like playing 8 strings, but as I said, I haven't played them long enough to just decide there and then. Would going from a 6 string to an 8 string be ridiculously stupid? Or would be better to get a 7, get used to having a low B properly, and then make the change to 8?
Thanks in advance for help ^_^
