Default NGD: O.A.F 8 String! (maple/rosewood neck goodness)

I know i haven't posted here in a while but I think Tom deserves more exposure for the kickass work he does at stupidly affordable prices. Even though I bought this used Tom said the warranty would extend to me as well, which was obviously something he did not have to do.

I picked this up a month ago, it does not feel huge like most 8's do and build quality shits all over the ESP Horizon I had as well as most other high end guitars I have played recently. It even (sort of almost?) stacks up to the b6 I've had the chance to play!

Kinda ugly and not my thing, but the build quality looks great.

It looks a lot more normal/less odd when you're holding/playing it.

Aren't you trying to sell this?

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

Sort of, I've had some offers but I dont feel like shipping it and I'd rather sell locally. Im not really using the super low notes all that much. I'm going to play with tunings for a while longer, I cant escape that 0-0-0-0-13-0 type of playing at all.

That thing is gorgeous!

I know I'd definitely take one. I really dig the wood choices & body shape.

Yeah, when I bought it I had the seller unbolt it so it would be cheaper/safer to ship, so I went to buy new strings but none of the shops near me had a 74. It has an eighth string now
