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
So standard tuning is F#BEADGBe, but I’m running it as EBEADGBe. So the lowest E is an octave lower than a standard guitar. AKA the same pitch as the lowest note on a standard tuning 4 string bass
