there will be a natural finish for the ltd sc8 and transparent green for the esp steph8.

rob from chimara (however its spelled) has his model available in a 7string version but only for esp and not ltd, therefore it will be spendy.

Why not offer the first production 8 string with passive Lundgrens? Could be interesting.....

wont happen, too expensive, would be nice though.

so would that be the same as a standard tuned 4 string bass. the low e?

even a 25.5 scale can handle a f# as long as you fuck with the truss rods, wait! are these esp 8 strings double truss roded? if not? yep! 25 will only be good for higher tunings

are you serious? if so, say good by to a straight neck

Aw dammit. I love Chimaira's old sevens.

Long scale adds little tension but that's not what's interesting. The real thing is it adds clarity, the longer the scale the better low notes sound.

I'm bitching cause it's got 27 not 30 or more. Same with Ibanez RG8. I'm just not going to buy 8 with such a short scale.... You wrote Nick few times that You like it that way. I've tuned my 2077XL with 0.68 to F# it was waaaaay to flopy for me, but again I'm not going to used heavier gauged strings cause I dont like the feel of them.

If the Ltd steph 8 comes in natural finish i think i found my guitar to buy this year.... unless we get a meshuggah sig.
