Pete explains his use of an 8 string guitar in Red Seas Fire

Hey everyone, I have been getting quite a lot of questions on why I use an 8 string guitar in Red Seas Fire and why Nolly doesn't, so I made this video to explain.

The guitar used is a Mayones Regius 8 String guitar with Mahogany body and Flamed Maple top, the pickups are Bare Knuckle Aftermaths, the strings are from D'addario. The sounds are being produced by an Axe FX Ultra.

Dear Pete. With an 27 inch scale length which string-thickness do you recommend for the Drop A on the 7th string. Do you sometimes tune it back up to B? What would be in your opinion a nice thickness for that string? Thank you for your music, x

.......scale it rocks. I just can't find the right tension for my lowest strings. I'm thinking 80 gauge for my low f#. any feedback?

I own a Schecter Riot 8. other than the shorter

And then again you have those guys that like to use ALL the strings for playing, Meshuggah obviously. Yeah 8 strings are fun to play but I'd rather just get a 7 to be completely honest.

@NitroAndDeathMetal You put your fingers on the desired frets where you want to play.
