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

do you need a tuning key or do you cover your fingers with superglue first? that looks impossible

    Looks like there's this kind of thing for some guitars, but other ones don't have the grooves on the pegs for that.

    yeah, that's what i was thinking of. I can't think you could get the leverage to tune a bass without one of those keys. I've seen keyless pegs on headed basses, but i've never seen pegs on the other end like this so i just assumed they came with a key

    yeah, my bass was stolen that long ago.

    I mean, when I first got my bass, I took it to a repair shop and asked them to make the nut lower because the strings were way too high for my feeble forearm muscles. So I guess most bassists have good finger grip.
