New Guitar Day! (thelemmy.club)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca to c/guitars@lemmy.world

Finally managed to get my hands on my dream guitar. Upgrading from a 7 to an 8 string is a bit weird but easier than a 6 to a 7. Some specs for those interested:

  • Skeversen Shoggie 8
  • 26-28" 5-piece pau ferro & wenge neck, flame maple fretboard
  • European ash body, flame maple top wood
  • Bare Knuckle Juggernaut in the Bridge, BKP Cold Sweat in the Neck
  • Skervesen's "World Domination Mod" AKA coil split and "acoustic" switch

That's a lovely-looking instrument. How is it to play?

It plays great. One neat little thing it that the string spacing isn't fixed, it actually gets spread out more with the bass strings, to account for the string width

Oh interesting. I'd have thought that would mess with your muscle memory a bit, but given that you're describing it positively I assume it doesn't
