    Wow! šŸ˜‰

    That’s a real Beauty!!! I love the “work-in-progress” pics! BTW, I assume that the lowest (8th) string is an “F#,” so what guage string would that be (like a .075?!?) Just curious! šŸ˜®

    Enjoy the guitar! (Does Meshuggah play 8-string guitars?) :confused: I actually saw them several years ago (opening for Tool!) but I can’t remember what guitars they used? (I thought maybe then that they used 7-strings?) šŸ˜Ž

    yep meshuggah’s fredrik thordendal and marten hagstrom both use 8 string ibanez prototypes, 30″ scale lenght with lungdren pickups(the standard rg 2228 is 27″ and emgs).
    i love that band.

    thanks for your comment bill!

    Great stuff Andres. That is one beautiful guitar, and thanks a lot for sharing the progress pictures. It’s so neat to see the effort that goes into making a single guitar, and an 8-string at that! Haven’t played an 8-string before, but would definitely like to someday.

    Keep rockin man!
