New site? Maybe some day.

8 strings are all the rage these days |
|
And I thought 7 strings was unnecessary -- that's just silly. |
|
I dunno. It is the natural progression from the popularization of the 7 string and the whole baritone scale thing.
actually...I guess the natural progression would have been a 7 string baritone.
Ok, they jumped a step. |
|
wait...the other one isn't baritone scale...I'm on fire |
|
Maybe it's just because I am a sub-par guitar player, but I am a firm believer that 6 strings is all you need. |
|
I think I'd like the additional tools for songwriting.
But yeah...I dunno.
Got a song where I drop the low string down a 5th ...not intonated correctly, but it's fun. |
|
I don't need more strings to brown note, is what I'm saying. |
|
The number of strings you have should be based on preference; if you really know what you're doing, you can use a 7th and/or 8th string for some awesome shit that is nearly impossible on a 6 string. It is a shame that many people will buy a 7 or 8 string guitar just so they can sound heavier though. |
|
Ion Dissonance uses 8 strings, and they actually do a lot of shit with it (more apparent on Solace than Minus the Herd). Either way those guitars are nice. |
|
hulk hogan uses eleven strings. |

that's actually a good thing.
Because before people were buying 7 and 8 string guitars to sound heavier, companies didn't make any god damn decent ones as production models and you had to pay out the ass to get a 7 string ibenhad or schecter made out of a coffee table.
So I'm glad kids in 7th grade want to have as many strings as possible, because it's making ESP put out some bitchin models. the new stephen carpenter 8 string is the hottest guitar ever. |

You would need a 9 string to sound heavier than your six string. |

i think meshuggah was the first band to go with the 8 strings...tuning down to g or some shit like that. i'm pretty sure they are the reason why stephen carpenter went with the 8 string model. he's on their nuts wicked bad in any guitar interview i've ever seen with him. |

What's the lowest string tuned to? Z? |
|
F# i believe?
i want to find an older src 7 in green with duncans. BONAR |
|
F# would make sense. they're gonna start making guitar/bass hybrid amps to deal with all this low end haha |

If they came out with something tuned to Z, I would jump on that bandwagon in a heartbeat. There can't possibly be anything more br00tal than a Z tuning. |
|
man, since I tune 6 strings to D-standard, if I were to use an 8 string it would be tuned down to "E"
I dug through my guitar to China! |

We tune to C# standard. I am a half-step more br00tal than you. |
|
|

consult the Agaycia Strain... im sure they can tell you. |
|
haha...D standard is such a puss tuning these days...In any case I would never contend that DC is more br00tal than LAZ...that would be just silly. |
|
Haha -- whatever, we are just washed up old men. But we hold on to the DREAM, maaaaan! |
