So here we are, I have joined the ERG club! This is my first ever 8 string so we will see how it goes. First impressions, not bad at all for both the guitar itself and playability of an 8. As a heavy 7 string player, this is definitely a pretty big adjustment. The hardest part is the 27.5" scale. As someone who is used to playing 25.5 - 26.5, this thing is like a monster.
The neck is okay, not really my cup of tea. It's super flat, which is perfectly fine, but the shoulders are pretty big. It makes me change the way I normally play which who knows, might not be a bad thing. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this being my first 8 string. As a big fan of Ola's, I was pretty excited to own one of his S7 signatures. It's pretty fun to play an 8, but we will see how long it lasts in my collection. I definitely don't see myself shifting focus to 8 strings anytime soon.
Specs:
- Northern Ash wings
- Maple/Bubinga neck
- Fully bound Ebony fretboard
- 27 frets
- 27.5" scale
- Nailbomb Alnico Bridge
- Painkiller Neck
