Javier is definitely one of the reason why I am considering getting an 8 string guitar. I sometime day dream playing all Mestis songs in a JR 608. Great interview 👍

Do it, dude. I bought a Strandberg Boden Standard 7 and sold it to buy the same model in the 8-string variant. That extra 8th string is just home to me - especially when you tune to open E.

@Zeeh30 I only got to try it out for 1 day sadly, I'm thinking it got damaged slighty in shipping because day 1 it worked and sounded great, next morning neither pickup worked and the switch would fuzz like crazy when I switched pickups, I'm thinking the solder got loose with the cold weather during shipping but either way I don't have solder tools so I had to send it back for repair. But I loved it for the day I played it haha.

I've always wanted to try an 8 string and Javier and Tosin are easily the biggest inspiration for that. If I find myself committing to practicing everyday I may just jump in and make an investment in an 8 string some day...

My reason being is that I wanted an 8 string for my whole life. I always put it off because “I don’t practice enough” or “I’m not good enough”. But since I purchased an 8 in the last year, after wanting one for easily 7 years, I’ve found myself with a massive drive because now I’m doing what I want. Vs learning on my 6/7 string which I still do.

It’s still a regular guitar though. The most common 8 string tunings are either standard F# or drop the lowest string down to E. Drop D but adapted for 8 string.

@@Burnt_Gerbil +1. An additional less common tuning would be EAEADGBE (both 7th and 8th string a whole step down). Essentially 7th string Drop A with an added low E so you could play 5th and 6th string patterns identically on the 7th and 8th.
