Project Information
Here is my final RG8 style custom 8 string guitar. It took me quite a while to finish but it is finally done! Solid Bubinga body with a Wenge accent stripe. Maple and Wenge laminated neck with a matching Bubinga accent veneer cut from the same wood as the body.
Rosewood fretboard with 24 frets
RG Style body but only 1.4 inches thick vs the standard 2 inches
Greater cutaway for high fret access
CTS 500k pots
Switchcraft Jack
Hipshot 8 string bridge
Hipshot String Ferrules
Hipshot Locking tuners
Bare Knuckle Pickups Aftermath bridge (Custom hand wound from the UK)
Bark Knuckle Pickups Cold Sweat neck (Custom hand wound from the UK)
The guitar is very heavy but the tone and sustain are amazing. It will be perfect as my studio guitar. As always I use the biggest strings available, 85-11.
