Thankyou, I am really pleased with the sound
It is really hard to get your head around the 7 strings, the first guy I asked to do a demo couldn't
Hoogy had it for about 10 days then came and did this.
He is only 19 studying music at Newcastle uni, I think he will be a player to watch in the future.

Another beauty from the Highland stable, it has a nice balanced sound Jeff, nice top but also an equal amount of bass to smooth out the sound. Quality. :cl :cl

Thanks Nick
He has the 6th string tuned down to D and the 7th down to A .
Plenty of bottom end there

Lovely guitar. Very nice!

I know what you mean about hard to get your head around as for quite a while you keep hitting the wrong strings, but after a bit you get used to it. Im used to sevens now except when you switch to a style of music you're not used to playing the seven plays with your head again. I just played an eight for the first time this week. Same problem all over again!

Wow, sounds and looks great. If only I could get someone like him to demo my guitars! My playing is so bad, his is so good.
