I found the price of the 8 string on a european site. It works out at just under £1000. 1449 Euro's to be exact.
This site may earn a commission from merchant links like Ebay, Amazon, and others.
I wish. Here in the US that comes out to about $1900. I don't know if that'll be the price here but I wouldn't be surprised.
That's pretty much the same exact thing people said after Korn came out. You have to remember that back in the day when they first came out, Korn was waaaaaay different than anything else and were the underground scene. Sure, they weren't as technical but they were heavy and abrasive. And did Korn not contribute in a big way to the rise of the 7 string? Much like Meshuggah and the 8s.Hey even a meshuggah clone band is better than a korn clone band though right?
At the end of the day meshuggahs music is a bit more technical than korn or limp bizkits music, and not everyone can understand it, or even listen to it.
So I dont think there will be as many meshuggah clone bands as some people are thinking, not compared to all the nu metal bands that all sounded the same and played 7s anyway

I'm sorry to say it but Meshuggah is the new Korn.
Yeap, it looks like a 27" scale to me...
IMO it's a little bit short for the low F (or even F#) string...
And bloody good for Marten and the boys! They deserve the recognition, they've been at it long enough.![]()
I spoke to the Canadian distributer today, and I was quoted the MSRP at $2799 CDN.Of course I'll be getting it for much less, but still that is pretty steep. Should be about $2000 street. Thank Christ it comes with the J-Craft case as well. I also confirmed that mine is the official first Canadian order, and that I should have it in my hands by March, maybe even late Feb.
My immediate next call was to Conklin and snagged the last M8 bridge he had until about May.
I'm stoked...![]()

According to Rich over at Ibanez Rules.com, list price on this s.o.b. is $2500 so my guess about of about $1900 is about right for what it'll be out the door here in the US.I wish. Here in the US that comes out to about $1900. I don't know if that'll be the price here but I wouldn't be surprised.
According to www.xe.com the 1449 euro price tag works out to almost exactly $1900usd so it seems to make sense to me. Which would be the price of a guitar with a list of $2500 over here.![]()
