Sexy, but useless in my hands

 

[Muppet]

Weird square neck heel. But I love Meshuggah.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Nothing that I would ever use or want. idn_smilie

 

[Deep Eddy]

No thanks.

 

[Punchy]

Something about that looks wonky to me, but it might just be because it has too many strings

 

[Elias Graves]

No

I have no need for an 8 string.

Question: Is that bridge a floating trem with the hole where the trem arm goes blocked off by a screw?

It's a fixed bridge.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

That bridge is unnecessary. I'd try it, but I have no need for an aircraft carrier at this time.

How is the bridge unnecessary? It was designed to keep the stability and feel of the Edge trems, but is fixed since Meshuggah always blocked their trems.

If a Swedish band can use the name Meshuggah, should I start a band and name it Galen?

On the other topic -- do you think they're actually going to SELL any of those?

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I worked with a guy who that as a tattoo on his arm.

Did it work, or did he still get girlfriends?

 

[Modern Saint]

I still don't get the need for an 8-stringed guitar. But that is me and my problem.

Pass.....

There are a few people over on Sevenstring.org who have 'em.
