Absolute beast. 27” scale with 22 frets. Weighs almost twice as much as my DL8. But that’s how Meshuggah sound like Meshuggah 😍

Compared to my DL8.

Brings me back to the first time I saw Meshuggah during the Nothing Tour. My drummer was the sound guy at Starland at the time so I got to watch from the board on the side of the stage. Frederick was standing alongside me waiting to go on stage with what was at the time the prototype for the M80, which was the first 8-string ever. That guitar wasn’t available to the public, so I had to wait until they launched the 2228 before I could own an 8 and I’ve owned one ever since…

You probably have them already but neural dsp has all the Fortin suites 50% off right now…
 
Cool looking guitar. I've never tried an 8 string (I have enough trouble with 6...), but I'm sure I'll get one someday. It seems like a fanned fretboard design would work well for an 8 string?

My last one was a fanned fret. I liked it but have gotten used to normal frets when I bought the DL8. Everyone should own the base Ibanez R8. They’re like $500 used so it’s fun to just have.

Part of me says I’ll never spend that much on a pedal… then I see it has two channels of gain and a built in noise gate…..

I’m not really a pedal guy at all but this says Meshuggah on it and that usually gets my wallet to open 😂

I do have a vintage Whammy pedal and a Petrucci Wah.
