| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:24pm - brian_dc ""] 8 strings are all the rage these days |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:24pm - largefreakatzero ""] And I thought 7 strings was unnecessary -- that's just silly. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:26pm - brian_dc ""] I dunno. It is the natural progression from the popularization of the 7 string and the whole baritone scale thing. actually...I guess the natural progression would have been a 7 string baritone. Ok, they jumped a step. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:26pm - brian_dc ""] wait...the other one isn't baritone scale...I'm on fire |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:27pm - largefreakatzero ""] Maybe it's just because I am a sub-par guitar player, but I am a firm believer that 6 strings is all you need. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:29pm - brian_dc ""] I think I'd like the additional tools for songwriting. But yeah...I dunno. Got a song where I drop the low string down a 5th ...not intonated correctly, but it's fun. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:29pm - brian_dc ""] I don't need more strings to brown note, is what I'm saying. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:31pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] The number of strings you have should be based on preference; if you really know what you're doing, you can use a 7th and/or 8th string for some awesome shit that is nearly impossible on a 6 string. It is a shame that many people will buy a 7 or 8 string guitar just so they can sound heavier though. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 5:46pm - immortal13 ""] Ion Dissonance uses 8 strings, and they actually do a lot of shit with it (more apparent on Solace than Minus the Herd). Either way those guitars are nice. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 6:15pm - corpus DIE fuck ""] hulk hogan uses eleven strings. :bow: |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 7:07pm - Joshtruction ""] corpus%20DIE%20fuck said:hulk hogan uses eleven strings. :bow: you just dont mess with the beach patrol! |

| __________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 9:43pm - Niccolai ""] 5 strings are where it's at. [img] |

Because before people were buying 7 and 8 string guitars to sound heavier, companies didn't make any god damn decent ones as production models and you had to pay out the ass to get a 7 string ibenhad or schecter made out of a coffee table. So I'm glad kids in 7th grade want to have as many strings as possible, because it's making ESP put out some bitchin models. the new stephen carpenter 8 string is the hottest guitar ever. |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 10:44pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i think meshuggah was the first band to go with the 8 strings...tuning down to g or some shit like that. i'm pretty sure they are the reason why stephen carpenter went with the 8 string model. he's on their nuts wicked bad in any guitar interview i've ever seen with him. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 10:47pm - thuringwethil ""] What's the lowest string tuned to? Z? |
| _______________________________ [Jun 11,2008 10:53pm - blue ""] F# i believe? i want to find an older src 7 in green with duncans. BONAR |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 11,2008 10:54pm - SacreligionNLI ""] F# would make sense. they're gonna start making guitar/bass hybrid amps to deal with all this low end haha |

If they came out with something tuned to Z, I would jump on that bandwagon in a heartbeat. There can't possibly be anything more br00tal than a Z tuning. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 8:52am - brian_dc ""] man, since I tune 6 strings to D-standard, if I were to use an 8 string it would be tuned down to "E" I dug through my guitar to China! |

We tune to C# standard. I am a half-step more br00tal than you. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 8:58am - brian_dc ""] haha...D standard is such a puss tuning these days...In any case I would never contend that DC is more br00tal than LAZ...that would be just silly. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 12,2008 9:03am - largefreakatzero ""] Haha -- whatever, we are just washed up old men. But we hold on to the DREAM, maaaaan! |
