Javier Reyes has a signature 8 string with Ortega or you can get a fan fret 8 string classical from Rondo for 1/10th the price. See: Brahms Guitar I love my 7 string acoustics and I plan to pick up an 8 string at some point, sooner than later.

@dreammachine8610 ай бұрын
I would love to have a play with that. Pretty expensive though, and a Floyd on an 8 string will be interesting to deal with! I have a kinda similar 7 string currently, an Ibanez AZ24047. One of the only HSS 7 strings I've ever seen, the other being a £5000 ESP. The Ibanez also has a trem, a Gotoh which doesn't have a locking nut so I can change tunings easier. The single coils sound really cool for the lower notes. Not sure if I'm gonna keep it though, it just doesn't have the tight feel & resonance I like from my Schecter, and it also has quite a bit of fret buzz. Possible that a decent setup will help though.

Love your videos and collection man. You're a major success story for someone like myself, who has like 500 subs. Out here representing for us extended-range players for sure... I have had quite the collection of 8s myself but have sold a couple unfortunately. I just felt like I didn't have room for them all, and I'm mostly playing 9-strings now anyway. A few brands you should acquire, a nice Legator, a Kiesel, and maybe even a nice Agile.

Dude! Would love a rebuild of the OG black ibanez. I learned from Tank The Tech a tip that actually works really well for glossy guitar necks. It's a product called "finger ease" it's like a string lube that is a spray that helps remove friction on the back of the neck, or on strings of a guitar. It might be worth a shot if you like a gloss neck guitar in your collection, but hate the sticky feel.

Only the ones with Blackouts and Lundgrens sound great on your rig, everything else is a noisy porridge. And I vote for rebuilding of RGA8. The bridge needs to be swapped with some extraordinary solution, like custom tune-o-matic, or maybe your favorite evertune. The pickups needed to be installed either Lundgrens in soapbar cases (they customly make them) or rare Lace Sensors "Stealth 8".

Great video, I love that you actually played each guitar as well as giving us all a little bit of history. Also after seeing how many guitars you have even when limited to the 8 strings, I think I may not feel so guilty buying my next axe, which I've been considering over the last few days. It's a Schecter KM-7 Artist I'm looking at. Half of my brain is saying go for it, I know it will suit my play style perfectly, plus feel (and most likely sound) better than any of my other guitars. And the other half is saying you've never spent that much on a guitar before, take pause before spending most of your savings. So I guess we'll see which little voice shouts the loudest! From your 8 string collection, I would prefer either the Schecter or Ormsby the most. Schecter for playing comfort (has the ultra-thin neck) and Ormsby for the sound. Interesting that you don't seem so keen on the pickups, but I really like that spikier sound that is more single-coil sounding. Plus they both have the coil splits which I like to have. The green Ibanez sounded fantastic too.

You and I could not be farther apart on bridge preference lol. I like a TOM, preferably with a stopbar. I like the ftm33 bridge. I think they use it for the fine tuning system. Some of Fredrik's guitars have custom TOM/fine tuning stopbars...i believe these are to keep the cost down. I've had a few floyd licensed guitars, and once you can keep them in tune, they're not bad...at least the ftm bridge does that. I'd love to get an m80m, but i think 5 (3 6's, 1 7, 1 8) guitars is plenty for me.

That being said... how do you tune your guitars on the super low strings so they sound in tune in your songs? Sometimes I do faster notes, sometimes I hold the note, and if I tune to when I strike the string, it drops super quickly in tune when holding, and if I tune to the hold, its super sharp on the strike... Do you have any suggestions?
