But the REAL question is, now with 8's this affordable, how trendy do you think it will be now for kids to chug on that low F# rather than learn to play decently

God... I hope not... I guess I'm hoping the 8-string fails in that sense of things. There's no popular template (like Korn the last time around) for anyone to latch onto, thankfully. At least not yet.

I also find the frets are far enough apart as is. That's why long scales should have fanned frets. Since these don't, I really hope it's 27.

what gauge you was use for F# ?

coz now some dude is selling his 2077 here...and I can talk with him to he hold it for me...but now I don't know what to do....coz if it will be released it will be here in a half a year (or maybe longer)....and I want to try and decide what I need 2077 or that 8 string beasts......coz I really disapointed in 2228

WHAT TO DO? !!!

I really wish it's 28". If it is, no Sc607B for me, I'm getting the Sc608B.

Ishan · 01-08-2008, 04:36 PM

I don't think it'll be that much trendy because no trend style come with it. The 8 string is mostly push by Meshuggah style bands and shredders for high A guitars, nothing to radioable next to crap products of greedy recording company.
At least it's nice to have mass production guitar companies noticing us and give us something to empty our pockets

side note: 28" and I'll be all over it, just enough for my F with a 72

MF_Kitten · 01-08-2008, 04:42 PM

i really really love that SC model... gimme one in that green transparent finish, and i´ll be all over it... or maybe that nice golden transparent one...

also, had to add i think the headstock on this one looks alot more proportional to the size of the neck than the 7 string models...

MatthewK · 01-08-2008, 04:46 PM

I just read on the ESP boards that the SC is 27"

Apophis · 01-08-2008, 04:47 PM

the headstock looks really nice for me too

You're god damn right i will

A is plenty low for me.

25.5" scale on an 8-string seems too short for doing low tunings. Maybe they're aiming it more at those that want to add an extra low and high string.

Then again, i was pleasantly surprised at the clarity of the 27" Ibanez 8, so maybe it'll work after all. I'm looking forward to seeing the final specs and pricing.

"FM" seems like an odd model designation. That type of body with that type of headstock would usually be an "H" type of guitar.

I prefer reverse for drop tunings. I would be pain in the as to find so long plain high string in poland :/
