Being a guy with larger hands, I jumped from 6 to an 8 string and found it to be much more comfortable and I've been eyeing that Schecter for a while now

@XLRider2

4 жыл бұрын

Funny thing, I have smaller hands and they also felt more comfortable to me... I also gravitated towards 8 and 9 string guitars because I liked the way they sound (when produced well) and loved the possibilities! I own this guitar, I found it used on ebay for 550$ and alternate back-and-forth between it and my used RG2228, and I love it! Solidly built, feels great, it's heavy, but what do you expect from a 9 string made out of Mahogany. Couple of things I do want to say about it though, seeing how you said you were eyeing this I assumed you've done your research, but I feel inclined to uh.. give my two cents for lack of a better way to say it. 01. Unlike the Hellraiser C-9, Schecter's other 9 string, this guitar does not have locking tuners so you'd have to get your own set if you want those. Hipshot sells a set of locking tuners for 9 strings for ~100$, but they are limiting on what string gauge you can throw through them: The tuning head for the 9th String can go up to a .104, and the 8th can go up to a .84, so depending on what you're trying to go for string tension wise that may be a problem. I have them and mine and I think they're great, they hold tuning well (I primarily play half-step down / C Standard) 02. Also unlike the Hellraiser C-9, this guitar has a 30" scale length, while the C-9 is 28". This has it's own pros and cons to it, namely it can be unwieldy if you're not used to something that long... but if you have something like the Ibanez M80M, or something similar you should be fine... because added string tension is wonderful. One of the biggest issues you're going to find is that not many places my strings that are long enough to fit the instrument, I use Stringjoy.. who has a custom string pack maker and the largest size that make is a .90. On this guitar, that .90 in a low C# or C feels better than a low F# or F on a regular 8 string... and the 8th string feels even better. I still will say this though it can super jarring from the 27" RG2228 to the 30" Platinum 9, but still if you want to get your inner Josh Travis on and tune down to A0... you basically need the 30" scale. So yeah that's just my two cents... my two very long cents (I have a problem). I do hope this helps!

You've gotta play in classical position! Try it that way and the surf board becomes far more manageable, your fingers can reach everything comfortably (at least on an 8 string)! My 8 string Hellraiser feels comfy af as long as I play in classical position.

I started on a Dean ML, and I honestly find it uncomfortable to not play in classical position now. The ML shape is perfect for it, and I feel constrained in "normal" position now. The angle makes finger stretches more difficult, reaching the higher frets feels like I'm having to reach around my torso/mash my arm into my side to get my hand up there, and my right arm/should gets tired from holding it up to the side like that. Classical feels so much more natural, aside from the fact that you may need a strap depending on the shape of your guitar. One other nice thing about classical is that it's much closer to standing position, so it doesn't feel super different from sitting like when I was used to "normal" position.

I recently got a Digitech Drop pedal and I'm still doing some A/B comparisons as to how transparent using the pedal with a 7-string is to get down into the 8-string range against my actual 8-string guitar, and so far it's sounding good. The feel of a 7 is just so much more comfortable for me personally. But I get the super prog AAL sort of people that need a ton of vertical range on any given fret.

I would've bought a o string, but the only ones I found where too expensive and none of them had a mat finish. So I just got a 7 string that actually had that nice mat finish at a good price. And I love it! It was the first guitar I ever played that had more than 6 strings. And it was also the first instrument I figured out how to play without any external information outside of my own knowledge of the usual 6 string! I learned so much about music that way! And it actually helped me figure out how to play the regular 6 string even more!! It's like just that one string multiplied my skills 3 times over!!! 🤘😛💥🎸💥

I jumped from a 6 string to an 8 years ago and never regretted it. The only downside is feeling like a standard 6 string is the size of a ukelele when you switch back.

The first time I tried a 9 string type guitar was an all black acoustic at Chicago Music Exchange in March. Most interesting

8 strings already felt like a lot, this must feel like a surfboard with strings. I only have 8 string at the moment.

When does a guitar become a bass? I was always a six string guy, but recently picked up a Harley Benton fanned fret 8 string. After a fret level, heavier gauge strings and raising the action a bit, it's a lot of fun! I don't think I'll ever be solely an 8 string guy, but now, I definitely understand the appeal.

People forget that the reach you get in each position is so much different. Like, you can stay in the same position on the neck on a nine string for certain riffs that would require jumping back and forth between positions on a seven. It becomes real economical in those cases, it's not just simply just about getting the lowest chug.
