I'd be happy with 27", since everyone here is saying it's 25.5". I know I won't get one at 25.5.

Yea it'll satisfy all those high A guys

drawnQ · 01-08-2008, 10:38 AM

definitely getting the sig. stef model 8 string.
i currently have a sig. stef 6 string and absolutely love it

thedownside · 01-08-2008, 10:39 AM

i always wanted one of the stef 6's, the green one

I'll probably pick up the LTD Stef. Inline 8 headstocks are nice

And it will feel/sound different than my RG8 and different is good.

If the FM is 25.5, that's pretty cool for the people who want to go higher. Affordable options rule.

They look alright I suppose. I just hate how the SC's have the bridge/middle pickup config. I really liked my SC607B, but hated that pickup config.

You gotta hand it to ESP though, they really stepped up to the bar!! They may be the first to release a Signature 8 String now.

I sure hope Ibanez has something up there sleeve for the 8's....... Like as been mentioned many a times before...... Meshuggah Sig's!!!!

Why not offer the first production 8 string with passive Lundgrens? Could be interesting..... Just a few weeks away now......

Also, I checked out the ESP lineup and am stoked as fuck on the Rob Arnold LTD!!! Just may have to get one of those babies.....

not too much, with 25.5 the hi A is going to break easily, even a hi G(whole tone down)

thedownside · 01-08-2008, 11:04 AM

so here's my question, maybe not the right place, but if i normally tune down drop a on a seven, and i wanted to keep that tuning what would be the best way for me to tune that 8th string?

I hope these cost less than the RG2228 because I really want that Horizon 8.
