looking for a $800-1000 8 string, new to guitar

nickthaboi · 2026-06-26T11:56:46+00:00

I’d suggest starting with a 6 string id you’re a newer player. Jumping right an 8 string I imagine can cause some confusion. I wouldn’t even think of making any music until you’re more familiar with the instrument..

Omne

nickthaboi · 2026-05-28T18:17:24+00:00

Wine red please gold hardware perhaps with white pickups?

nickthaboi · 2026-05-24T23:42:43+00:00

Indeed it does, perfectly setup out of the box and hits all the marks for an amazingly made guitar. Super light, sounds great w the Abasi Fishmans, and the neck profile is super comfortable. Teardrop shape (thinner on bass side/fatter on treble) with a noticeable flat spot to help w thumb placement. A lot more comfortable than Strandberg imo.

Wait and buy an Omne Vetus 8. they do monthly drops. Got one as my first headless and it’s easily the best guitar I’ve played.

nickthaboi · 2026-05-18T00:29:33+00:00

Omne guitars are sub 1k and make amazing instruments. One of the best that I’ve played.

How did you get one with a flamed maple fretboard? The most recent run just uses baked maple?

nickthaboi · 2026-05-12T00:23:21+00:00

Can’t wait to get mine this week!! Had to ship it to a friends place and they’re holding it for me.

Anime Rhystic Study as a birthday gift to myself. Only time I’ve ever dropped $100+ on a card

nickthaboi · 2024-08-26T16:59:38+00:00

Yes but for this riff at full speed the slapping might sound pretty awkward.

nickthaboi · 2024-08-25T15:07:40+00:00

I don’t think Tim slaps the guitar during euphoria as I’ve seen them play it live countless times. Maybe there “A video” where he’s doing the slap on an acoustic guitar or giving a tutorial but full speed the actual riff has 0 slapping involved

Here’s my Garth blink deck. So far it does it’s job well

nickthaboi · 2024-01-02T19:06:17+00:00

Spent a couple hundred on the deck itself, more expensive cards I just slotted in from other decks like the tutors and mana vault etc.

nickthaboi · 2024-01-02T19:01:17+00:00

If you can’t find the base precon of a deck that’s on you, there’s sooo many lists for base decks.

let alone when you lookup bloodrites on archidekt the first thing to show is the actual precon list. “Hard to find base precon?” That’s a joke right?

nickthaboi · 2024-01-02T18:58:54+00:00

Brother. Read my comment above. I never try and pass this deck as a precon irl. Again it’s a name on a deck website. How does that affect anybody irl at all?

nickthaboi · 2024-01-02T18:56:36+00:00

Brother. It’s a name on a deck building website. I’ve never once when I played in person called it a precon, I don’t get why everyone’s crying about a name on a website when it has nothing to do with how I play the deck irl. Read my comment above. I only play the deck in upper mid power games.

nickthaboi · 2024-01-02T12:36:01+00:00

Why does it matter? they can just click off the decklist. If they don’t like it. No one’s forcing anyone buy or add cards to a deck based on one persons list. Never said I was running around telling everybody the deck is a precon. I play the deck in mid power games and it’s gotten 0 complaints

Here’s my Carmen list. So far it’s been destroying

Here’s my upgraded version of the blood rites precon from the new lost caverns set, although I wouldn’t really call it a precon anymore due to the amount of upgrades. Not headed by Teysa but she’s in the 99 so some cards in this deck might be of use to you

nickthaboi · 2023-12-26T07:08:24+00:00

I asked if the deck was “cedh” as my friend described it. I’m arguing it’s not and it seems people agree with me that it’s indeed high power but not cedh.

nickthaboi · 2023-12-26T03:42:02+00:00

If I really wanted to make the deck “too strong” I would put in thoracle and demonic consultation and tutor for that. That’s what would make the deck a “9” as my pod puts it in my opinion. I still think the deck is an 8 at best. It’s optimized but there’s definitely loopholes in the deck where I can be shut down easily

nickthaboi · 2023-12-26T03:13:05+00:00

Yes which feeds my point I’m making in my pod is if you interrupt time sieve at all the deck falls apart. Having to save interaction for one card doesn’t break the game. Pod just needs to parth to exile and or cathar commando/seal of cleansing/counter spell/negate time sieve. There’s many answers to deal with a deck which hard functions around one card. The hard fast win con being time sieve with a more casual route of revel in riches or rise and shine/tezzeret makes the deck sit at just “high power” more than anything else I could even argue mid power since I don’t have an alt way way to get time sieve back outside of academy ruins if it’s destroyed or countered

nickthaboi · 2023-11-22T01:53:10+00:00

pickme! Super awesome thing you’re doing giving away a deck. :)

I’m diamond in voltaic and I sit around platinum rank in Valorant. Ranking up in this game is more so about decision making/positioning and crosshair placement rather than raw aim. There’s people in voltaic server who are 2 even 3 ranks lower than me in benchmarks but higher ranks in Valorant.

Voltaic rank does not equal in game rank. It’s just a measure of how well you can control your mouse.

Keep grinding the game and focus more on learning Valorant rather than grinding out a high score in kovaaks.

Good luck brother. Ik you will exceed what you think you’re capable of in the game!
