NYNGD (Not yet new guitar day) Mensinger 8-String Steinberger, Headless "Paddle" BKP

[Absaloms Axe]

Here's a kinda groovy-postrocklike jam i did with a part of my band. Some clean and crunched tones with split-options are audible here. Didn't really use the low end.

There will defly be a dirty demo soon.

Did a video with it to demonstrate it's jazzyness ;-)

Hey! Awesome guitar!
How much did you pay for that?

it's not mastered at all but it kinda gives you the idea how it handles gain.

Offfftttt!
That is cool.

The headless system on this just gave me GAS for a headless 8 string. Please oh please be less than $400!

HNGD!

i'm sorry to disappoint but i don't know about it's individual cost.
just ordered it via Mensinger Custom guitars and they didn't tell me.

But i assure you it rocks!
String changing seriously can't be easier and it sounds and works great.
(It even works with the thick end-wrappings of an .80" string)

Fixed the wonky b-string with the last string change btw.

^ looks to me like both b and g strings are offset in the stringlock..
Doesn't look like being uncorrectable, more like merely a string-up thingy.

Nice build, I dig it wasn't painted black. Can only be a dream for the touring player.
Drop a Pod-5 in the kit bag and patch in; doesn't get much more compact

Do you have the price for bridge and stringlock assemblies?
EDIT: Never mind, missed page 2 and your comment above

Yeaaah the spacing of the strings at the nut is definitely a bit off, but other than that it looks badass!

Well well. I guess i'm a man now.

Pretty sure the beard had that qualification covered pretty adequately

But god DAMN that's a great guitar, and it's awesome to see someone demonstrating an ERG without 0000100010001000ing it up.
