I wanted so bad to say that this clip of Dino below shows that you can do other stuff besides Meshuggah covers with an 8 string.... but Dino failed me at the :53 second mark.

Yeah... that's retarded.
They do have the 27" SRC, tho... but that's only half an inch longer than the schecter.

For sure it is. I had the Rg2228 and the 27" was too short for me, I couldn't get the F# to sound how I wanted it to. My custom has a 27.5" to 30" multiscale, that should do the trick I think
Now that's fucking wild, damn

I wonder if there's a lot of guys who dig the abalone on the Hellraisers. People at the ESP Forum (me included 
) are always complaining about the abalone purfling on the LTD Deluxe series.

Pretty soon there will be no need for bass players. Just get 2 guitarists with 8 strings. My god. The world is ending.
Guys, the purfling that Schecter uses doesn't look as apparent in person as it does in pictures. My old EC1k looks gaudy as fuck in pictures, bright ass gold hardware, abalone out the ass...but in person it's not that noticeable at all. The guitars never look like they do in the pictures, take the pic and put it in photoshop and darken it quite a bit, then you'll see how it looks without being professionally photographed with unrealistic lighting. 
Yeah, Charlie Hunter has been using Novax 8-strings for years (around the same time Korn got famous for the 7-strings I think), but I prefer his method of 3 bass strings/5 guitar strings, with separate outputs for each - which literally meant no need for a bass player. Oddly enough, he went back to 7 strings a couple of years ago

It's not a one way street we're talking about, right? Even if you get a 7 or 8-string guitar it's not like you're banned from using another one.

I just wish Schecter would make both sides of the V the same length, and then I'd gladly buy one!
Steve it's so weird I've not seen anyone else mention that really until now, and it bugged me at first too!!! But eventually I got over it, it looks fine really.

I don't know, maybe it'd bug me less if I saw one in person, but as far as the pics, it looks strange to me.

Haha I know, I meant the timing of it - around the same time the metal scene started picking them up, he stopped using them.
The Novax's have fanned frets too, which makes a Hell of a lot of sense when you're tuning from like F#1 to E4.
Surely the wonky wings on the Schecter V is to try and compensate for the weight of the neck?

they do that for a reason..... it's to compensate the weight of the neck.
I have a us jackson rhoads and the neck is too heavy that the guitars falls on that direction lol
Like I said at first I didn't dig the offset half of the guitar but after a while it didn't stick out to me like a sore thumb any more. That's cool that it serves a purpose though!

Glenn tipton when he designed his hammer, put that stupid long wing (it looks like shit) to compensate the weight.

I hate the look of this guitar, just an 80's mind could have a thought about that shit.
