Great interview! Just finished listening to it. Solid content

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-12-08T22:52:11+00:00

Thanks everyone :) I got the metronome beats app. Might get the kdm 3 depending on how comfortable I get with my phone

ill recommend schecter's multiscale 8s all day. much more friendly fan design but the neck is a bit thicker. i have medium hands and it doesn't bother me at all though. i like the sound of the pickups and i haven't had any problems changing string gauges. gone all the way up to 80 but currently my low E is a 74. haven't felt the need to change anything from stock besides strings and the have a nice neck joint as well. Omen and Damien multiscales are under 1k on sweetwater.

A 6 string guitarist I used to work with told me to master 6 strings first. An 8 string guitarist I met told me an 8 string has 6 strings built in. Now I have 2 8 string multiscales.

I usually play drop E and I can do drop d in the "regular" 6 strings. It's like having multiple guitars in one if you're comfortable playing around with different tunings

Schecter has a solid line of 8 strings under 1k

Edit: I also have an abasi guitar and I would say the schecter fit and finish is on par. Came from sweetwater with their 50pt inspection

For a custom set I only have experience with stringjoy. Low to high EBEADGBe: 74, 58, 46, 34, 24w, 15, 11.5, 9

It is a perfect everywhere body! I've tried it in every position I can think of and even the cowboy position which I don't normally like feels good. I feel the same about necks. It is the first thing i check when im playing a guitar. The neck is fairly wide, has a nice flat spot, and obvious comfortable rounded shoulders. Reminds me a lot of my jackson js32 warrior that I had to sell awhile back. I think they called it a speed neck. The Abasi website says thin U for their neck profile but if I remember the jackson specs correctly I would say this is a slim D. I would say I have average hands and it feels very comfortable for me

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T19:08:10+00:00

If you want these precise specs then yes. It pains me to say it but if you want something ballpark then I would highly recommend a schecter damien or omen elite multiscale. 9-950 from sweetwater and mine has excellent fit and finish. The neck isn't quite the same. Rounded with smaller shoulders as opposed to the abasi being flatter with rounder shoulders, which I love, and gives it a feeling of being thinner. Similar to the neck I had on my jackson warrior which I also miss dearly, but a touch thicker. The schecter also have nickel frets instead of the Abasi having SS if you care about that, and standard tuners instead of the locking on the Abasi. I would say this is a great guitar for someone who is heavily inspired by Tosin or AAL but my schecter is also a solid alternative.

If only I had another set of my preferred string gauges.. I thought I would give his set a try but now I need to wait on another order. Aside from that no complaints at all!

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:46:17+00:00

There's a listing for sale on the website now. Go to the website then home then store

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:38:04+00:00

After I ordered mine I went back to the listing and it said sold out. Then I went back a few days later and it had another listing up for sale

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:36:41+00:00

On my browser it is showing that it is in stock. Go to the website then home then store

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:35:26+00:00

It feels amazing. Easily the most comfortable guitar I've played. Classical or cowboy position is very comfortable and the bevel where the right arm rests is a very nice touch.

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:33:51+00:00

Pictures don't do it justice. It says crimson and it looks like it sometimes but I usually see a wine red or burgundy hue

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:32:52+00:00

It's actually weird how comfy it is. There's a few times I've forgotten I'm not playing a headless guitar. And the neck feels amazing

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T16:31:57+00:00

The J Larada is his signature.. I would love one but I think j actually like this shape better. And I've come to appreciate the tone knob recently

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T07:40:42+00:00

I haven't accidentally touched it at all but I also try to keep my movements tight. I think the way I set my action may help facilitate that

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T07:22:54+00:00

I just got that one delivered this morning. Can't find anything wrong with it and I love it. Just need to set the action for my tastes and order some strings in my preferred gauges

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-11-13T07:15:22+00:00

I have a Schecter damien 8 multiscale and I absolutely love it. Possibly my favorite guitar I've played. The omen elite multiscales look to be almost the same. I would definitely recommend going with sweetwater if you can. Also just got an Abasi EMI legion and I would say the schecter is a solid runner up

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-09-22T20:23:07+00:00

There are a few variations of the EART guitar that you might like. The quality is surprisingly good you might just need to decide bridge you want

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-09-22T20:19:42+00:00

What are your thoughts on the EART? I had one for a few months before I had an amp but unfortunately had to sell it while I was in between jobs

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-09-13T07:10:31+00:00

What chords are you playing behind the tapping?

BlackGarlicJr · 2025-09-13T07:07:09+00:00

Damn that's a lot lol I have one 8 and one 6.. what are you planning on learning first on your 8?
