So i got my first thread on this forum!

I decided to get an 8 string guitar, so here it is:

Siggi Braun Roc 8 Custom Shop model !
Their factory is in my city so i got the chance to play one of their 8strings,
and i really liked it, so i ordered my guitar! (If you get the chance to visit their showroom do it!)

Swamp Ash Body with Quilted Maple 5A Top
5 piece Kambala/Walnut Neck, CNS bolt on construction
Ebony Fretboard
Multiscale, 680mm-648mm (which is about 26.8"-25.5")
2k Satin finish
Sperzel Locking Tuners
ABM Single Saddles
Bareknuckle Aftermath (Bridge) and VHII (neck)

I absolutely love what i just got! The guitar feels worth every coin.
The fretwork is nice, the finish is done perfect, a guitar for people who like to look at details. It sounds aggressive but really really clear, no muddy sound.

I really like how the guitar was set up, perfect intonation and an nice low action :yesway::yesway:

I couldn't be more happy about that deal! :hbang:

Enough words for now, PICTURES:

This guitar confuses me, in a good way. Looks like a Schecternez RGA venger Neck-Thru on? hahaha Love the colors and hardware choices man, it looks great! HNDG!

Great guitar, great pictures! I feel that the neck joint could be a bit more elegant looking but the view from the front is spectacular!

How are you liking the VHII? I haven't seen many people with the 8 string version.

The neck joint isnt that bad, you can reach all the frets,
and the neck fits really well and solid!

The VHII is an awesome pickup! A bit hot and really clear pickup!

i will post a few sound clips in the future ;)

Wow that is beautiful! Shape works well for an 8 too, some shapes don't scale well when the body is that big but the Avenger shape isn't one of them! :D

Awesome guitar. How's the low string holding up at that short scale?

That is seriously hot! Awesome top color and woods overall. That is one super sturdy bolt on neck. I'm guessing the pickups sit right on that? Tone transfer must be insane. HNGD!

The bridge pu doesn't fit the angle 100% because bareknuckle don't angle their baseplates that much, but it's kind of minimal, so i dont think that the tone transfer is disturped in any way!!! The neck pu sits 100% perfect! :yesway:
