You're bluffing.
I don't have the money for a real 8 string guitar, and for my purposes I would probably never use the higher strings anyways, so I just want to liven up an old guitar I don't use much anymore. It's already in a bit of an odd tuning, Bb Eb Ab Eb Eb Eb, haha.
I've been toying around with the idea in my head, trying to figure out what would be the best way to go about accomplishing this. Would the scale impede the quality? What gauge strings should I use? Should I buy a bass guitar pickup to get a better low end? Any suggestions?
