I dodged iteration one. The G Force/current unbranded ones are dead fine providing you use strings within the specified range. And I do, so...
I wasn't sure I'd keep them on my first 2016 LP HP, but love that guitar enough that I got another '16 before they went away (and the HP Studios are done anyway, thanks to the massive trimming of the line).

9 to 80 on like an 8 string?
Yes. It's the only guitar I have currently with them, but they are really nice. I'm a big fan. I have a '97 PRS with the wing style lockers, but they aren't quite as good, they have a flat spot on the turning part of the post, and the winged collar has a notch cut out of it you slide the string in, and it turns and locks the string in the flat spot. They work OK.

Can't tell if I'm being mocked... but yes 9-80 is nice on the 8 string, the low E is nice and full and makes my practice amp flub out pretty good. I dont Djent or anything, I just like the extended range.

For sure I don't care if I am mocked either 8-strings are kind of douchey I'll admit it. I see a bunch of failures trying to play Meshugga on them at guitar center every time I go ..

Every time I think about 8 strings and djent dudes I get this urge to put a metalz type pickup in the bridge position of one of my ibanez 6 string basses...
