Hi everyone, I'm looking at purchasing an 8/9 string guitar.
Either a schecter sls:
Extended Range : Blackjack SLS C-8 A
or hybrid:
Extended Range : Hellraiser Hybrid C-8
These are both 28" Scale lengths.
I've tried the sls in store and the 24th fret on the higher guitar strings was flat by almost a semitone. I looked at the bridge and as you can see in close up photos of the sls, the saddle looks as though it cant be moved further towards the neck to correct this intonation issue.
Is it necessary to have fanned frets to achieve normal 6 string-esque intonation on a 8/9 string or can it be as easy as getting a standard setup done?
- Thanks
