On the con's side , When I take a spin on the fretboard , it doesn't take too long for me to hit some Pretty Embarrassing Clams 

 
See, I'm just the opposite.  Every once in a while I'll hit the right note in just the right way. 
(Then wonder like crazy how the heck I did it!  )

Craig , that may due to all the Martial Arts training you've had in your lifetime .

Kenny,
 
I need to have a new bridge put into an old Hondo strat  (don't ask, I just like it).  Where in Portland should I take something like that so that I don't get screwed over,

Kenny should have more recent experience, but I've had good luck with the 12th Fret on Belmont.

Cool looking instrument. But it leaves me with a question, and that is : If you consider the gauges of the strings being used, shouldn't it be called an 8 string Bass/Guitar Combo rather than just a Guitar? 
 
I could see this type of instrument being awesome since it's electric for a band with two guitar players who just happen to like playing bass also, or Visa Versa that is, lots of possibilities. 
 

She's a beauty Kenny!
I can't keep up with 6 strings

Serious_Noize! , I get what you are saying 
 
Depending on who's playing it, it can be considered an 8 string Bass/Guitar Combo ...
 
After hearing this fella , I may just have to go into hiding

Thanks Bill ,
 
She is a nice little guitar for a starter 8 string .
I get what you are saying about the 6 string guitar . It is certainly deep enough as it is for even the best of us .
It can take a person a whole lifetime of practice and devotion just to even get a good squeak going on while the fingers are dancing away on a tight rope consisting of 6 Slinky nickle plated wires ...
IMHO, Anything more than 6 strings is just like joining the circus .
That's why I'm going there . My life is way too freaking boring  I need some adventure , even if I crash and burn. 
 
 
Check out George Van Eps on the 7 string playing Yesterday solo

 
Or George Van Eps on 7 string playing a Duet w Howard Alden

 
Someday I Wish   
 
all the best,

That's like a perfect audio resume to send to prospective bands that says "What do you need, lead guitar, rhythm guitar or bass?  I can do all of those for all of these styles!"  Plus he made it sound musical and not like some guitar wanking exercise like too many do. 

In the comments for the above video I saw the name "Tosin Abasi" and did a quick search for him.  DON'T DO IT KENNY!
