I tired playing an 8 string at a guitar shop. I was very lost.

It's a bit of a work out. And it also makes all of your bad habits stunningly apparent.

I have been super tempted by that same 8 string in a local shop.

I wasn't going to, but it's a trade-in weekend and I took a bunch of stuff in and figured "why the fuck not"

Cool! you found one you like. The one at my local shop didn't impress me unplugged enough to plug it in

but Ibanez is really hit and miss, I love them but you have to sift through a bunch in a store a lot of the time.

The neck is surprisingly comfortable and I'm surprised with how good the pickups actually sound. Unplugged I think the issue is that there's not enough body mass for those low strings to resonate properly, so the pickups and amp have to do all of the heavy lifting.

Ibanez does a really great job with their necks if you like those little skinny necks, I've found. That's a sweet looking guitar.

Skinny necks are basically a necessity on a guitar like this

I picked this up yesterday

27.75" scale
set neck epiphone.
previous owner switched out the pups for EMG and changed the knobs to 2 volume, no tone.
I might do something about the nut too, is that plastic?
I'll let you guys know how it compares to my fender blacktop baritone tele

Sexy! I've wanted to try one of those for a long time. My big guitar GAS at the moment is a Gibson 7 string V....

I got me a baritone today as well. Plays well to me - was setup before they sent to me. I don't see what all the hate is for Eastwood but maybe in due time time I won't like it once I spend more time with it. I guess we will see.

*Edit I meant Eastwood, not Hallmark. I always get those 2 confused.
