New Guitar Dilemna

So I've got a decision to make here really soon. Either I keep my original track and pre-order the Agile 8 string, or order a Gary Kramer F1 7 string. Pics of the Kramer in question:






I'm just trying to figure out if I'd ever even get the use out of 36 frets or not. The whole design intrigues me, but I just don't know if I ever got rid of it if I'd get screwed on the resale (probably would). I'll only have a 72 hour approval period if I do decide to order it. Whatchu guys think? Oh, and it's only a couple hundred bucks difference between the two.

I'm about as cool as a fart in a space helmet.

those kramers look insanely comfortable, and pretty cool imo. I personally wouldnt use the 36 frets, but i could use up to 27 or so comfortably, and that thing is just disgustingly awful. Whats gonna help you with what you want to do more, the frets/comfort, or the 8 string?

See...there in lies the rub. I really would like to try out an 8 string to see if it would add another dimension to my playing, but the Kramer could add to it as well. So they're running neck and neck at the moment.

Or I may just say screw it all, order a Bloody Murder to put in front of my VHT, and be done for a while. Just try and let the GAS pains subside.

cant you try an RG-8 to see if you want to go the 8 route?

Seriously, just go with the 8 string. Having an 8 string is like the benefits of moving to a 7 from a 6 allover again. Remember how good all those extra notes at the bottom, and the greater range in single positions felt when you were no longer limited like you were on a 6? Getting an 8 is like that feeling all over again. They really are truly bloody great!

Besides, that 7 looks like some crappy bannana contraption, and when was the last time you saw people actually able to play the upper register? Michael Manring has a 36 "fret" bass (although not really since its fretless) but even he admits that other than sliding up to single notes, the upper register gets little to no use, since even on a bass it's just too fiddly to actually play.
