Glenn atmospheric djent record coming soon

2:55 when Glenn somehow managed to quote every bass player in existence

2:55 “if you don’t know how to change the strings on your own guitar, THEN DON’T COME INTO MY STUDIO!”

Like for Glenn’s sexy hair intro

Lol , next video “How to mic all 8 strings individually” Love you dude, you’re so awesome.

"The Tardis Effect" that made the geek in me's day! You're awesome brother! Thanks for another cool vid!

A friend just buyed an 220 string guitar. Its fretboard is so big, you need a keyboard to play it. He call it "piano". Can it djent? No, but you can open it up, throw an amp in it and use it as reverb. Sounds good.

I always have to mention that guitars have OUTPUT jacks......not input jacks. Give it a couple of seconds......it will make sense when you think of the signal path.

Glenn's joining beyond creation?? lol

Pretty soon Harps will be Metal.

When Yngwie Malmsteen stepped down from the heavens, he created the guitar and gave it 6 strings. And Yngwie said: " _6 strings is lif! It's the YNGway or the Highway!_ " For this, I am glad, for I barely *reach* the minimum intelligence requirement for 6 strings... *Haista vittu, Glenn!*

…The Green Manalishi with the eight-string crown.

GREAT! Pro environment, not necessary but encouraging, educational and an absolute must. Good man.

Doesn't Rob Scallon have a signature 8 string set of cleartone strings?

Holy shit this thing looks amazing and it fucking BARKS, can't wait to see the full review

I love seeing videos like these from you

Congrats! Big + for the space allowing to clip a tuner!!! Beautiful guitar!

Thank you. When i taught all was gone and I was about to hang my self (very serious) your video tuned up.. You saved my life.. I don't know what to do now days and i meet more shit then anyone imagine. Glenn you saved me thank you. I absolutely love you because you never give up no matter what!

Never saw you as much of an 8-string guy, figured you'd be content with 7-strings. But i'm glad you got this thing and i'm looking forward to hearing more out of it!

Your channel has inspired me to do something with my LTD that has been collecting dust for years. going straight to the guitar shop to get some new strings and guitar polish tomorrow!

Looks and sounds beautiful! Super cool.

Hey Glenn, I recommend at least a .080 gauge string for F# or drop E. Maybe .085.

I’m glad you mentioned the environment... most people wouldn’t even think about that

Hi Glenn! I'm really looking forward to the full review - looking at buying one of these myself!

Like the sound. Full review will be fun.

I’m in love with that 8 string!

hey Glenn, potential VC comment. I'm in a band that I've been playing in for quite a while now, we decided recently to actually ball up and record something substantial, we'd saved up heaps to schedule in some recording time, when it came to it we were on time, professional in conduct and started setting up our gear. myself and my bassist both use about half a dozen amp heads for our recording, i know it's overkill but each one is a specific type of amp with it's own unique tone that when layered produce something i think is magical. when we initially contacted the owner of the studio for arrangements we made sure he had enough room for our amps and such and he said absolutely, "we also have no decibel noise limits in this isolated part of the city so go Hog wild". However when we started to set up with the engineer he was like "the fuck is this?!" do you really need that many amps? well basically even tho we could re setup a single amp for a different layer each time, it would be more time efficient to set them up in 20 minutes (and i mean 20 minutes) and get all the layers in one take rather than 6 (plus the time in between to change the settings, pedals and mics). he's argument was actually "no one layers amp tones they use one maybe two tops" I can name 6 guitarists of the top of my head who use multiple layers. well apparently because i'm not Matt pike or James Hetfield and no one is gonna listen to my shitty record, there's no point in getting a good guitar tone and he recommended i use the in house amp (which was a line 6 spider III head from 200-who-the-fuck-knows-when) over the valve amps i hand made. his argument essentially boiled down to "no one cares about your band and no one is gonna listen to it, so why bother having a good tone?" and refused to record it unless we did what he said. nothing happened after that. I know we aren't going to make the next black album, but if we know how to use our gear well and have not only the permission but encouragement of the owner to make something unique and immense sounding, even if no one is gonna buy it, doesn't that make it worthwhile to put in some fucking effort and creativity? sorry for the long post but i'd love to hear your thoughts hasa diga eebowai from Australia Glenn!!!

When I first got an 8 string earlier this year, my little Trump hands could barely reach the 8th string but it doesn't take long to adjust. For strings I use a regular d'Addario 10-59 7 string set and then buy single 80 gauge strings for the 8th. I'm also tuned to DGDGCFAD on a single scale length but it plays nicely! Plus it allows me to use a secret little trick of using a 4 string bass tuned to DGDG and then generating a second track an octave down to fill in the low end. You can't hear the lower octave, but you can definitely feel it. :P

That looks realy cool Glenn^^ Grats

Sounds GOOD! I like it!

It sounds good, and thats all that really matters in the end, but I really feel that guitars like this are such eyesores

I'm curious at to what your thoughts are on this guitar, as far as build quality, feel, and sound. Thinking of purchasing one, since they are the cheapest well spec'd headless 8s available. Thanks, Glenn!

That is gorgeous!

please do a follow up for this guitar im interested in an upcoming run

Looks like a Strandberg!! Very Gorgeous!!!

I always thought headless guitars looked weird, but that one looks just awesome! Looks light as well. Fanned frets too!

sounds awesome!!!!!

GLEN! Im an 18 year old High School senior from Ohio. I just wanted to tell you that you're one of the major reasons I have decided I want to go to college for Audio Engineering

Hey Glenn, D'Addario has some great 8-string sets, I can't seem to find the heavy top/Light Bottom set on Amazon right now but its probably still in stores in the NYXL series. The strings are also tapered at the end so it was a nice touch. Good luck with that beast of a guitar

Hey Glenn. Awesome guitar! Also, is there any amp you wanted for a very long time and never got or even worse - you got it and it wasn't as cool as you thought? Greetings from "shitty NAMM and Henning" land

Sweet axe! About time old-timer. 🤘

Wow ... that looks sharp !!

Hey Glenn, thanks for brining all these shirts bac. Was really hoping for the "High gain, low tolerance" shirt too.

That guitar looks sick!

That’s a real nice guitar you got there Glenn

I always wish haved at 8 strings guitar NICE REVIEW MEN

Don't be afraid to go super thick for those extra strings. I use like a .66 and a .92 for mine (though I tune to drop E) but it also depends on your scale length. 8 strings feel natural to play after you use them a little bit - you sometimes have to treat the lower notes as if you're playing a bass (because you basically are) and avoid super low chords because they will always be muddy regardless of your setup.

Im not an 8 string guy in the slightest BUT that doesnt stop me appreciating a very nice guitar! Congrats

Suupp, im a uni student broke as fuckk! My question is should i start recording with the direct out on my boss katana and blue snowball or should i wait to get the proper intputs and mirophones?

Will you run this guitar through the Joyo Zombie to see how the Zombie handles the extended range?

I actually like how They did the headless headstock. The little shape is way cooler than that flat cut across the top most headless guitars have.

Really looking forward to that review, I'd love to own a Strandberg but i can't really afford it, maybe this could be an alternative.

Hey Glenn, any chance of that full review on this guitar anytime soon? Thanks.

I love your statement to the enviroment. Every time I order something at Thomann it comes in a box with a shitload of plastic, foam... you name it. :/

You adjusted to that thing pretty quickly. Maybe it’s not so bad actually. Beautiful guitar!

welcome to the club my friend

What's the scale length? F# comes in crystal clear using a 28" scale. Intonation is solid.

Beautiful guitar...

Say for stuff like this where we’re hearing guitars for the first time, would it be worth your time say taking the DI from that guitar and leaving a downloadable link for us to get it, play it in our DAW so we can have more reference on how a guitar sounds?

Finally Glenn got guitar with proper string amount :D

8-string gauges: 10-74 for standard tuning, I might opt for a 90 if you like tighter strings. Personally for Drop C1 I opt for 10.5 to 110.

Every peice of equipment I have ever purchased in the mail has come packed with foam.

The only way to make the ASMR of Glenn opening a box better is to distort it and make it metal as fuck

I like them because you can write like normal 7-string and if you need to go a bit lower to resolve a riff it's there. Totally not necessary to chug on the 8th string(but it's there if one so desires). That guitar style is not my cup of tea but it looks good for what it is

SWEET!

Hey Glenn, Have you heard of Boult Guitars? They are doing some really cool builds out of the UK at a low to mid price range. Just ordered a bass from them (I know, we're all surprised my parents unchained me and let me out of the basement to use a credit card), but they're making some really cool builds that might be worth checking out. Anyways, can't wait to hear this beast when you get it into a full mix.

That is a beauty

Hi man . Great playing .wondering what is the size if that 8th string ? And tuning .?

I’m jealous as fuck that thing is fucking gorgeous besides the headless stock only gripe with that guitar

How are the fretedges?? And damn was hoping it would have a tone knob for clean playing lol

If that thing only has a 27" scale on the bottom string, you're gonna want an 80 on that bottom string at least.

It's funny how they left the string ends so long but it seems like a great guitar! :) I'm trying to figure out my first 8-string guitar at the moment.

Glenn, thanks for being environmentally conscious dude. A lot of guys would be too excited about what's in the box to worry about what happens to the rest of the shit in the box. Big ups for mentioning that.

On a note about my tone preferences for 8-strings: Generally speaking, I prefer a less fuzzy-sounding distortion for tunings that low so that the bottom end rings out super-clearly; folks like Mick Gordon and Pete Cottrell have developed what I think to be gorgeous distortion setups for 8-strings. Other than that, the balance of bass, mids and treble sounds pretty much on-point. I'd be interested to see more on 8-strings from you at some point

If tuning in standard e, try a tbx tone pot. Even w humbuckers, it really changed my playing.

Let's get it

Whatttttt? We know bass players can't count past four, and Recording Engineers can't count past six!

What is the prise of goc guitar 8 strings??

Yo Glen, I'm a bassist and I believe im decent. I practice alot (about 4 hours a day) but I'm still not satisfied. When could I consider my self a good bassist?

That thing looks siiiick

Hey Glenn, if you're looking for some strings for this, Stringjoy does tension-balanced sets for like $15 that handle lower tunings really well.

When will you get the rest of the guitar?

Hey, did we ever actually see this guitar again? What were your final thoughts on it?

yay! 50th view!!! love you glenn!!!

Sweet lookin guitar

Styrofoam bad, but what about the many gallons (or liters) of fuel burned to get that guitar to the doorstep?

haha seeing Glenn in fake snow 🌨 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

cool bass man

Interesting going for the GOC brand with the slight controversy behind them. However they seem great!

Awesome Weapon to make Metal!

Out of curiosity have you heard anything about saluda cymbals? Cracked my zildjians after 10+ years and was trying to decide between sabian HHX and meinl when I started looking into saluda.

Here comes the Green Manilishi with an eight-string sound, naaaa nana nana na na na naaaaa.

.80 seems to be a good starting point for scales longer than 26. Rob Scallon has a signature set of strings from cleartone. I like more heft to my strings so I'd probably go thicker so if you plan to use it for some heavy handed pickers, maybe go thicker. All in all, work around .80

Is there gonna be an 8 string version of 'The Eagle Has Landed' ?

Some advice: play it somewhat like a percussion with some aggressive palm muting & a couple of bends of the string here & there. And there you go, You're on your way. To get a tight thrash on the 8 string(f#), move your hand up just a slight tad towards the neck when palm muting. The tone you need to play with an 8-string is a tight bass, gritty mids, & a bright treble. The mini tube screamer works well for this. But whatever, you do you, Glen. Will be waiting. Chow.

Love the guitar!!! I have to say though the sound styrofoam makes is worse than nails on a chalkboard. That alone should be reason enough to not pack with it.

I recommend tosin abasis strings from DR. .75 for the low works great.

Been waiting for Glenn to pick up an 8 string.

What wood is the top made from? It’s gorgeous.
