So, as most of you know, I've been after an 8 string for a good long time (nearly 2 years, but who's counting?). Thanks to Wade, that dream has finally become a reality. He's a super awesome dude who worked with me since all I had in my paypal account was what I could spend thanks to Bank of America fucking me. Moving on..

Here's a pic of a big ass case

Now, most people clamor for natural light photos, but being that this beast is a bloodsucking vampire of a guitar, it deserves something better.

Natural NIGHT photos!! :hbang:

THE VERDICT
This thing fucking slays, especially for the money. Sure, there are better 8s out there, but they're considerably more expensive. This bad boy has a 28.625" scale, which is a bit of an adjustment, but really isn't as bad as I thought it might be. The stock pickups aren't too bad. I'll have to wait to play it with my Axe to be sure if it needs a swap cause my practice amp isn't taking too kindly to the low E. I'm thinking a nice set of BKP Warpigs will really set this bad boy off. I may do a vid with this bad mofo. Be expecting a part two to this NGD sometime soon :evil:

Congrats, Matt! Finally :)

How's the neck thickness on that one? I feel an itch for an Interpid, but don't think I'll enjoy it if it's as thick as an Interceptor 727.

Dude! Congrats on finally capturing the elusive creature that is an 8-string! The natural night pics make me GAS for a bloodburst Intrepid even more! :hbang:

Good God you look uglier in every single successive picture I see you in. :lol:

Just kiddin' bro, get your ass in that woodshed. You know where your second 8 resides :evil: I'm super happy for ya, you definitely need to makes some videos or soundclips with your Axe - I want to see how the Axe sounds in your rig and what music you're up to these days.

And PS the Bloodburst is the best Agile I've seen, much prefer it to the camo or oceanburst or even the natural ones.

Blackouts, don't fuck about now.
