Finally managed to get my hands on my dream guitar. Upgrading from a 7 to an 8 string is a bit weird but easier than a 6 to a 7. Some specs for those interested:

  • Skeversen Shoggie 8
  • 26-28" 5-piece pau ferro & wenge neck, flame maple fretboard
  • European ash body, flame maple top wood
  • Bare Knuckle Juggernaut in the Bridge, BKP Cold Sweat in the Neck
  • Skervesen’s “World Domination Mod” AKA coil split and “acoustic” switch

    no offense dude but maybe dial back on the unsolicited advice. I’m guessing the person who just bought a €3k 8-string guitar knows how to tune it.

      I like tuning musical instruments though, is that inherently a bad thing? Kinda wish I had my hands on it myself, let OP tell me what notes to tune each string to for their playing pleasure, and I’d go at it and tune it up for them.

      Sorry but not sorry, I really appreciate musical instruments.
