The Guitar I got is an entry level Schecter C-8 Deluxe just like this one in the stock photo .
Overall , I'm surprised how good it is in general and when I factor in the price I got it for I'm very pleased .

Man , I'm really digging it so far,even though I'm hitting some really major Hey Man I'm fricking lost all the time on this neck with all the fretboard fingering collisions 
 
all the best ,

Never liked guitars with more than six strings so when I needed something lower I got a baritone - loved it!

Craig ,
Sure that's absolutely cool if that's what works for you .....
 
I'm doing my own thing over here and my thing is what it is

I had an 8-string ramirez (classical guitar).  Jose Tomas a colleague of segovia's started that trend.  (Narcisco Yepes did the 10-string thing but I never really liked the sound of that.) I decided I was too dyslexic to throw an extra couple strings in the mix.  Good luck with it!

Congrats!
 
Interestingly, I also have a Schecter 8-string (but mine is a completely different thing).

Nice! Congrats!
 
At some point I was curious to try a 7 string. Maybe some day. If I could afford one of these:

Hey eph221  thanks for the kind word of encouragement on the 8 string ..

Thanks drewfx1 , the 8 string I just got is just a  Schecter entry level 8-string ...
It is certainly good enough for me to learn the whole 8 string territory , I'm really enjoying it so far .
I bet you probably have something from Schecter w a trem and EMG's  ? or something a lot higher up quality wise .
cool stuff ....

Hi Rain , thanks
Yeah man , that Gibson 7 string Les Paul looks really nice ....
At one time I had strongly considered the Epiphone version of a Les Paul 7 string ..
I could never find one in real life too check out and play in person ...
 
I love playing 7 string ...my first attempt at 7 string was in back 1980 .
I took a handmade Classical 6 string and had a custom conversion to a 7 string done to it ...
The string spacing was too tight and cramped for me so I haven't played it much over the years ...
 
In 2008 I picked up a very high quality Washburn 7 string for peanuts ,they were just blowing them out in stores , online , everywhere ...
I was very glad to not have to sink big money into a guitar  that I was looking to use as an experiment ..
After about a day or two of playing the Washburn I said to myself damn I need another string
It only took me 8 years to get that other string lol...
 
From what I gather from my interactions w you , and from what you have mentioned here on the forum , I get the impression you may enjoy playing a 7 string at some point later on down the road ...
They are very good for Hard Rock and Metal ....
 
all the best ,
 
Kenny
 
 
 
 

I've always been put off by the thought of changing anything more than 6 strings, which I'm too lazy to do most of the time as it is 
 
So that's stopped me from buying: 8 string guitars, 12 string guitars and lutes.

I thought I hated changing guitar strings. Then I bought my Riviera, which has a Bigsby.
 
 
 
That brought the suckiness of changing strings to a whole new level. My other guitars suddenly didn't seem so bad.

That doesn't look quite as bad as changing nylon strings though....
 
Actually my hatred of changing strings has reduced slightly ever since I switched to the "back around the post, under and over" method. I was always a little sketchy about how the string should be wrapped around the post for best results, and since switching to this method I've found that my guitars take less "breaking in" and stay in tune better than they have in almost 30 years of playing. 
 
The method is demonstrated in this old D'Addario video (complete with Joe Satriani soundtrack), from the 1:00 mark:
