Problem is, I don't know any, and I could imagine the cost would come up to the same or more, I do like the body shape a bit though.

DPM here on the site makes some beautiful eight strings. (Member TMM has one of them). He uses special passive pickups, too. Very high quality ones, I believe. You should send him a PM. I'm not sure what kind of money it would be for what you want, but I'm sure there are plenty of options and things, so the range of costs could overlap with the range of your budget. If you have ten minutes, give it a shot. Couldn't hurt.

I'm thinking of getting a Leviiiathan 8 string for shredding when LGM is open for business again, these are the specs I chose:

Alder body
Maple neck (duh)
29 frets
Ebony fretboard
Locking tuners
Colour: Maranello red
EMG 45DC bridge pickup only (too cheap too shell out $200 for a SD in the bridge)
Seymour Duncan Screamin’ Demon 8 neck pickup
Hipshot 8-string fixed bridge with strings mounted through the body
Side dots only (no face dots)
Black hardware

Does this sound like a good guitar? I'm trying to keep it under $3000, any opinions would be greatly appreciated.:yesway:

Check out stambaughdesigns.com. He built my eight with fanned frets, sperzel locking tuners, nice woods, and Lundgren pickups for about $2200. He'll build anything you want- last I was in his shop he had some 9 string basses in the works. I have had my 8 for a few months now and love it. He is easy to work with too- he totally knows his stuff. He is located in New Hamshire, US.

still seems a bit high. I'll need to look at your options and the price list again though.

I added the screamin demon neck pickup, the 29 fret option and locking tuners, maybe the currency exchange rate was low at the time of my estimate.
