Are you guys discontinuing this model? If I know theres a new version with possibly longer scale and or different shape 8 string evertune ill hold off. If I do buy this, would it be possible to get it setup for Drop E with 9-80 strings?
New models are unveiled at the beginning of each year at the NAMM show, this is also the time in which we use to discontinue some of the previous year's models in order to make room for the new ones of that year. Check back at the beginning of the year to see what models we will be introducing and which will be discontinued.
Ah okay. Could you guys set it up in my preferred tuning before sending it? And is shipping free? No case either right?
I just spoke with an evertune representative and he confirmed with me that the new bridges made post 2019 were made to hold up to a .08 the 8th string. Can you confirm that these 2020 models are made with the current evertune system? I very much want one of these but I need to be absolutely certain that atleast a .08 will work
Probably wouldn't be able to provide a blanket confirmation for all models. Our factories go through parts on hand until they are used up so it would be difficult to determine at which point they ran out of the previous evertune and started using these new ones you mentioned.
What is the max stir gauge this years new models can hold? I’m thinking I might want to get a new new one.
Thickest we use on eight string models will be a .074
Is that the thickest the Evertune can support? I have read from some that they can take up to .08. I think you guys REALLY need to consider revamping this guitar. I had an older one of these and I have to say its the first time I have felt let down by ESP because when tuning down to low E on an 8 string a .074 just simply does not cut it. I was hoping the new models allowed for a thicker 8th string.
I just got one of these today. This was my 8th ESP 8 string. I have the green EC-1000 in High school and TBH its the only guitar I have ever missed, but I just really don't do 6 or 7 string anymore. This guitar is beautiful and allowed me to have my nostalgia and 8 strings too!! I really do wish you guys would talk to evertune about being able to put some bigger string gauges to. Also the pickups could have been better. Would LOVE to see one of these with some Fishman Classic 8s!! Otherwise the finish is perfect. The Body is amazing. The neck is smooth and sexy. People should stop complaining about the weight. Its not that heavy. Great job modernizing a classic guys!! I can't wait for my next ESP guitar!!! Only way this is leaving my collection is out of my cold dead hands.
String gauge preference is very subjective and we use a common 9-65 gauge set from the factory as it is a good basis for most players. Thicker gauges could always be used but would require setting up the instrument with those gauges.
Really wish there was a left handed version of this out there to buy.
Hey Port, I know it's tough, you'll want to check out these two dealers of ours. They specialize in left handed instruments.
