I am learning to deal with the fret buzz by adjusting my playing techniques, even after some physical guitar adjustments. I still love the guitar - and I can upgrade later. But for now - it's awesome for the price and I probably won't upgrade the pickups very soon - but we'll see. I think they sound fine for now. If anybody else has an 8-string they want to share pics, vids, or sounds - share away! Especially, if TODD here has his playthrough/review. I am still getting used to the guitar before I make a video review. I'm getting some tasty tones with POD Farm. Heck, I'll give you one that I made. I patterned it after the band Intervals - whose recent EP "In Time" was made with a 7. Tell me what you think! Brandon You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's the least progressive song on the EP too. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

That I would very much like to see I am thinking about tuning my baritone to Drop E - if i am not mistaken that is the tuning you are using on the 8 string, right? I also plan on getting a pair of Bareknuckle Cold Sweat pups for it... and maybe in the future get another baritone for the drop A tuning if I like the way my actual one behaves with the new setup You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm definitely getting the RG8 once I buy a new poweramp, since my current one is broken and also not mine. Thanks for the video dude, great job.

If it's still not tight and punchy enough - the Bareknuckle Cold Sweat should take care of it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yeah i would like to upgrade to Bareknuckles but I would rather wait to get a better 8 string one day first and then upgrade. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
