    Well she is a collie but we found her as a stray. Me and megan where at a party and it started to Storm outside so we went for a walk when this dog came stumbling up to me so I reached down and she passed out in my arms, so I picked her up and we ran back to the house. We dryed her off and tryed to see what was wroung no luck so we took her to the vet in the moring. Well some one had been kicking the crap out of her and she was (I bleave) Forced to eat 3 rags and chunks of metal and twist ties, so at this point this is our dog no matter what!!! so time starts to pass and stormy is happy and calm and loveing her new life, but shes starting to get fat and fast it turns out that thru all this **** she has been thru she was pregnant so we really have no idea who the dad is

    ebenezer shred is bang on, in the past year 8-string guitars have become much more comon and parts are very easy to come by. kahler and hipshot do make some cool stuff but you can also have some custom bridges made by ETS http://www.ets-hardware.com/ And if EMG is not your thing there loads of guys that will make you custom stuff, also halo guitars offers a wide range of 8-string pickups !!METAL MATT!!
