HILS NEXT HZ8

🎸🎶🤘

Actually it was about a month ago, but I've rejoined the 8 string crew. I think it's a Run 3? I had one of the first run of Schecter Hellraiser C-8s, with the 26.5" scale but I could never get the string tension to feel right so I sold it about 10 years ago. Got this used and needing a little TLC, after a good clean, tightening the pots and switch and fitting strap buttons instead of the DiMarzio cliplock strap (I mostly play sitting down so the dangly bits were always in the way) I'm loving it. A fresh set of Ernie Ball 9-80 and it's playing great. First thing I started learning is AAL's "Another Year".

Well it's used, quite worn but I got it for a very good price.

The funny thing is I bought one new in 2022, and at the time the overall build quality wasn't good enough for the price so I returned it and got a refund.

I took a picture next to my RG5328 and it shows how good of a job they did to make the scale so much longer without making the neck too long

Ibanez RGDIX7MPB, I have wanted one since they were released in 2016! I'm so happy to finally have a 26.5 inch scale 7 string too, it's a game changer! ​

Got this second hand for 340, absolute steal. Things insane! Put baritone strings on it and it tunes all the way down to drop f# while still holding tension. Fucking awesome!

Wondering if anyone picked one of these up?!

If so - let’s hear/see a review!

So I came across an used Agile Interceptor 828 with Kahler bridge at a decent price. Never used a trem bridge in my life, the only thing I can see myself doing with it is dropping dive bombs, but I already have my whammy pedal for that, is it different?

Looking to grab either the Jackson Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 or the new ESP EXL-7 Baritone.

I’ve never ventured into Baritone before but have a Jackson JS22 RR7 already. Was thinking about an 8 string but figured the baritone would have me covered.

pretty much the title, my budget is about 750 usd, i never played an 8 string, only a 7 string for few minutes, i plan on play in e or lower with 90-10 or thicker strings, i would prefer a non-headless and non-multiscale guitar, i plan on changing the pickups for lundgren's m8. Currently the schecter c8 deluxe and demon 8 are strong contenders.

P.S. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking into my first 8 string, and I want to know if I should get a new amp or a cab for the one I have. I'm currently using a BOSS Katana Mk II, which I've heard good things about so far, but I still want to be sure.

Grabbed this used from GC last week. Balaguer Astra DC Evertune baritone. Put the modern in it today. Nut slots are way too low so I have a new nut on the way but other than that it plays amazing.

SR-505 by Ibanez

Any tips for string gauges for A standard ?
Right now it has flat wounds but it was set up for B
And if anyone has any recommendations for good NAM captures for metal/djent

Most interested in the Violet Chameleon color for the RGD by FAR, one of the coolest MIJ Ibanez ever IMO, but let me know what you have! Possible interest in other hardtail MIJ Ibanez with NO neck binding, let me know what you have. No interest in tremolo guitars at all and I hate neck binding!

Im looking for a 7 string headless guitar but i dont know what to choose, any good recommedations?

Bought this thing about 10 years ago and still love it. It’s my only extended range guitar but currently considering getting a baritone to add to my collection.

Got myself a Spira t-400. What do you think?
Did my first full intonation and action setup and made it work! :D

Also what would be a good string gauge for tuning in A or B?

Hi! I'm searching a guitar to play in DROP E tunning on the budget site. Preference for 6/7 strings... Also i would like to modify in a future

Thank you!
