an 8-string guitar for $399?! YES, it's true!

I don't personally have a need for 8 strings... 7 maybe, but 8's just too much for me, but I know there are players out there who LOVE 8-strings(like my buddy El Montu!). Well, if you're wanting to sample the 8-string madness, but don't wanna plunk down big money for something you may or may not dig, THIS is the thing for you:

Omen 8
Due to the overwhelming success and appetite for their 8-string guitars, Schecter’s newest offering is the Omen-8, THE most affordable 8-string on the market, Keeping with the standard features of the Omen line, it includes a basswood body, a rosewood/maple bolt-on neck, high output Schecter Diamond Plus pickups, GraphTech Black Tusq XL nut, an 8-string TOM and chrome hardware. A double graphite rod system is employed in the 26.5” scale neck for added strength and reliability. The new model is offered in Walnut Satin and Gloss Black.




A Lefty version is also available in Gloss Black. 

Street price = $399.99  (holy crap that's cheap!)
