[PICS] All the 8 strings pics. Lots of them.

[Variant]

Is that a photoshop? My eyes are seeing an 8 string EDGE trem...

No Pshop... your eyes do device you, though... see the weld. You see two Edge 6 trems stuck together. Necessity is the mother...


BTW, am I the only one who thinks that lower horn would get in the way big time?

 

[gatesofcarnage]

That is a pretty nifty idea.

 

[CrushingAnvil]

What the hell? is than an Edge Lo Pro8?

This thread is an accumulation of all the GAS on the ERG board and harvested into one big ball of mega GAS. Nice post!

Damn that rar folder was epic. I loved the green one with the band logo inlays. Not so much the inlay but the finish on it was amazing.

 

[Daemoniac]

That is fucking incredible...

 

[Adriatic]

no intrepids? other than the mocks..

 

[vampiregenocide]

That first one, maybe its a weird semi-hollow with an internal pickup?

The guy in the second pic looks like Chester Benington, and I wish to steal his guitar

Third one is quite sexy to but minus the trem.

That second guitar was the subject of 4 threads on it's sale matey.

Too bad the neck access on that ERG V is terrible

it has 30 frets, so you can easily play last 6 frets by tapping

Well, I guess that's somewhat of a relief since its not like "Here's a 27 fret V, but you can only get to the 19th!"

Still, I'd rather have all or nothing. I mean Uli Jon Roth has done up to I believe 42 fret (at least 36, that I do know) and still had access to all of them. Were they pretty guitars? That's another story.

In the 1980s, Roth commissioned construction of custom guitars with additional frets. Uli Jon Roth has (or at least has had) at least five Sky guitars and they are made by a British luthier, and the guitarist from Fair Warning also uses a Sky guitar. The first three Sky guitars were as follows: One had 36 frets, another had 42 frets, and a third one is fretless which was used on the Beyond the Astral Skies album. The guitars named Mighty Wing and Destiny each have 7 strings and the others have 6 strings. The 7th string is a low B string. The September 2000 issue of Young Guitar magazine shows five different Sky Guitars: Sky I, Sky II "Purple", Sky III "Emperor", Sky IV "Mighty Wing", and Sky V "Destiny".

42 frets?!?!? The 42nd fret would be like 1/26th of a mm long

Guys, I really reeeeeaaaaalllllly need to know what wood this is.

More than likely, thats swamp ash. but HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE TREM!!! It looks like they cut up 2 Ibanez Edge Lo Pros and put em together

I'm pretty sure it's swamp ash

They might well have done that. I know Ibanez had to do a similar thing for Meshuggah's custom 8s. And, yeah, I'd say it was swamp ash too .

I think there are a few Shermans there that I hadn't seen before. Lovely .

 

[Razormouth]

cool, know which topwood im gettin for my next axe then.
