I love the paintjob but man Hektik is right, that guitar is ugly and the headstock is bleh

yeah it's funny looking. THe 36 frets must be so you can play it a couple steps down and still get the sound of standard tuned high notes.

Looks like the last 5 frets can only be tapped unless you have LONG fingers.

It shouldn't as the fretboard is simply extended closer the bridge (and thus eliminating any space for a neck pickup). You'd only need longer strings if you made the scale length from bridge to nut longer and tuned the whole thing lower and wanted to keep the intonation correct on those higher frets. Of course, at that point, you'd have to beef up the string gauges to prevent floppiness.

speaking of strings on my RG i dont cut them and i put them on backwards so the little color coded ball things are on my headstock. Lots of winding but if the string breaks at the bridge you got lots of backup

I've never played one, but love to try em. Aren't they mega pricey?

Yeah. It's a one man company so now that they're somewhat popular, there's a waiting list too

Just doing a google for "8 string" and I found this. Damn this guy rules. Slightly sloppy but I wouldn't even come close to playing it, and the chord progression is genius:
