Tele 6 Neckthru.

I have completed about a dozen guitars since I started this build. Every time I got stuck into it a customer order required this one to be put aside until recently when I had time to get this and another one done. As it was long and drawn out over a couple years the specs changed quite a bit but it got there in the end. The guitarist from "Scar The Surface" ended out snapping it up as soon as it was available for sale last week and he seems quite happy with it.

Build thread and more photos

After trying out an 8-string Schecter at a local store I decided that I'd like to try my hand at an 8 of my own, but wasn't entirely sold on the low F#. As a result I've built this one with the addition of an extra string on top, extending the range of the guitar in equal directions either side of the standard 6 configuration. Tuning from low to high is A-D-G-C-F-A-D-G, essentially a down-tuned 6 string with the addition of two strings a 4th above and a 5th below normal range. While I'm still trying to get my head around the added high-G I'm finding it adds a lot of interesting possibilities for chords and open-string runs.
