Here's a wonderful mammoth; LTD's H-308 (List: $880, Davis GMC). The market is now swinging towards the provision of affordable 8-string guitars & the H-308 is definitely one of them. This guitar is another great Chinese craftsmanship, very tidy & well-finished from one tip to the other. It's a through-neck construction so expect loads of sustain here. For those of us who are keen, be informed that it sports a satin finish which dents easily but I am a fan of this treatment as it promotes a silky, smooth touch for the fretting hand; my thumb can't really get along with a lacquer overcoat. The EMG 808s in there are rather essential for the low notes especially if you live, eat, breathe distortion. Lastly, the 25.5" scale length would make the feel 'regular' if you are too accustomed to this on your 6s. I'd recommend this if you are looking for a little bit more delivery in terms of playability & tone & are willing to spend a little bit more to avoid an entry level 8-string. Thumbs up.

and again, it's quiet cheap from an 8-stringer :)
...if compared with m'sian price (again)
this one's giving the Schecters some competition as well... :-)
