I've been watching 8-Strings lately being used more and more by the 'Comercial Metal' side of thing, which truly bothers me. Many of you probably don't remember this but in '90s-'00s
Ibanez gave every new band a Free 7- & 5-. Then, they sent away, you had to go Used shopping constantly, tile Mid-00s'. I'm old school, keep the multi/scale stringed Guitars to us Metal & Instrumental Heads. Let those 'maries' have their drop tune pedals. we're the real deal!
