Can I join the Korn now?

7 string is a gateway drug for an 8 string

[rfurtkamp]

We shall see!

I'm used to gateway drugs, the 339 led me to 2 LPs (even though I'd owned an LP many, many years ago)!

The answer sadly may be buying a second one, but I am not that insane yet.

you need one of these:

I don't know...I'm just not a F-hole guy. My Casino is a fine guitar and all, but I don't play it much.

C'mon, furtkamp, you've gotta live up to that banner in your sig.

I know you wanna infuse Korn tunes with a cross between this:

that was a wild ride
me: "hmm I wonder what he's gonna do with that bent piece of metal... OH SHIT, ooooh shit"
did he put roach clips on his strings during that first number?

Alligator clips. Total classic prepared guitar method.

The Fucking Champs do some cool stuff with unique 9 strings.. I dig it.

Yeah man I started with one 7 string.. then I had 2.. now I also have an 8 string. It just happens. Don't feel shame. Let it happen. You know you want this..

[gnomethrone]

Oh man the fucking champs. I got my dad to buy me their IV album from that colombia house cd mail order club when i was a kiddo. Metal wasnt something I grew up with and that shredded my lil face off

[BetterOffShred]

They are so underappreciated.. I mean nevermind their shredding and glorious riffage .. the name alone ..

A4 is tough at 25.5"

I played in DADGBEG for years in a tech metal band since we couldn't get a stable A that wouldn't break under aggressive playing. Sounds like you're not having issues though?

[rfurtkamp]

I'm still running with my initial 'test' tuning at this point - BEADGBA, because I liked the low B as well.
