would be nice if i could get my hands on one to play for a week or so to have a feel of a different scale length, but meh.....
if 25.5 isnt for me then someone else can take the stupid thing

i was actually about this __________________ close to doing an 8 string,
but a mate talked me into thinking about building him one,
so when i get some $$ you blokes will probably witness a build thread containing two 8 strings being build at the same time

HEY does this mean I gatta make a 25.5'' template as well ?

Well Andy. . . Let's just say I can be a scatter brain and ask questions as they come to me. . .

I hate to state the obvious Andrew but I think young Mr Virginia has hi jacked your thread LLLOLLL. .

And Andy, you might try these inlays, this is the kind of guitar I've got.http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/sound...281764657.jpeg

I walked in to a game of 20 questions lol!!

I like the enthusiasm.

The dye can be wiped on but they recommend brushing as cloth or rag absorbs too much of it when wiping.. Ill try both I think seems I have 2 guitars to do..

Welcome to the forum Descendantofc.
Those ibanez inlays are rather...... err.......pedestrian. Not metal enough.

I hope you get your thread back soon, Andy.
What was that about an uncluttered build thread? It'll never happen.

never thought about that....
ill still wipe on my dyes thought, rather than risk dirty brushes and loose/stray bristles
