Depending on how the price is, I've been in the market for a 26.5" 7 string and that sig definitely ticks the boxes (assuming the scale length). Hopefully it gets announced soon.

Assuming we do get a 7 string version of it (I can't see why we wouldn't but I don't think we've seen one yet?)
True, I am just assuming. But considering John's crazy amount of 7 and 8 string playing, I'd be very surprised to only see a 6 string. But it is true he's playing way more 6 strings now a days and prefers it.Assuming we do get a 7 string version of it (I can't see why we wouldn't but I don't think we've seen one yet?)
I was figuring the same, as that one next to it can't be the other 6 string he has because that one has a burst finish. I could only imagine that would be the 7 string version, as it would be weird for Schecter to send him three of the same 6 strings.View attachment 119345
I was wondering if the other guitar here is a 7. People were asking him about 7 strings in chat and he said 6 strings are just easier so hes been mainly playing 6 strings.
Because see: Aaron marshall sigWhen are we going to get this announced already! It's painfully obvious at this point and I'm actually surprised at how much we've seen of the Schecter without an announcement from them, Mayones or JB himself.
Probably slim. That Hellraiser was probably them dipping their toes into doing 8-string Floyds, and I guess it didn't do good enough for them to warrant expanding it.What are the odds they'll do another 8 with Floyd? They've been the only major brand in the market with one, but I'm getting the distinct impression that we'll never see anything other than the old abalone hellraiser C8 FRs.

unless it sold within the last day, there's still a one-off JL8 available on Music Go Round for someone looking for a non-abalone 8 string with a Floyd under $1000What are the odds they'll do another 8 with Floyd?

Yeah, I’ve almost bought that a couple of times, but ultimately it’s a pretty boring looking guitar. I’m sure it’s well made, though, so I keep coming back to it.unless it sold within the last day, there's still a one-off JL8 available on Music Go Round for someone looking for a non-abalone 8 string with a Floyd under $1000
Yeah they kinda just... stopped caring.Seems like 8 strings have kind of dropped of the radar. You don't see them like you did 10 years ago.
All that 90s and early 00s shit is back now that the 80s craze is finally winding down. Just wait until 2030 when djent and dubstep become all the rage again. 8 string blue burst rg style guitars will flood the market.Yeah they kinda just... stopped caring.I can see why 7-strings stayed (nu metal being the cultural juggernaut it was) and why 8-strings just kinda came and went.

Cuz we cant have nice things.In the meantime I'm still wondering why it seems almost impossible to find the Purple Banshee GT here in Europe
