My First Week with an 8 String! Meet the Machines: Skervesen Raptor 8
🕑 Added 2020-06-28 16:19:46 +0000 UTCHey cool kids!!!! Firstly, thank you all for the birthday wishes yesterday!!!! I celebrated by staying at home, ordering a ton of thai food, drinking tasty beers, and editing a brand new video for you guys!!! I hope y'all enjoy it, i had a blast making it. I answer a lot of the questions you all had for me about the fanned fret design, tuning, scale shapes, and other topics, too!
Hope you guys dig it. I actually enjoy the 8 even more than i thought i would! I really just figured i would play Meshuggah riffs on it, then put it back in the case, but i've really had fun playing sludgy baritone stuff on it too, like the short tune i wrote for the intro.
How many of you guys play an 8 string??? And if you do, which make/model do you have?
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, y'all, thanks for all you do : )

6 strings seems hard enough as it is. But it's a killer guitar.
I had an Ormsby 8 string Hype GTR (korean made import, really well done QC in their Australia HQ though!) for a bit then my jamming bassist friend started to hate me when I stepped on his sonic space. Sold it for an Ormsby 7 cause they are just so damn well built
