Lucas Haneman just posted a Youtube video of an original composition he wrote for the 8 string guitar I built for him. Check it out:

Nice guitar, Pat! Is this the same guy that you built a guitar for a year or two ago? Sounds great!

Thanks for the comments. Yes, Alex, this is the guitar I finished for Lucas about 8 months ago. He has transcribed a few pieces for it but this is his first original composition specifically for this guitar and I think so far it's the one that makes the most of all 8 strings.

Thanks again guys. Steve, the scale lengths are 27.5" on the low "B" string and 23.5" on the high "A" string. Pretty severe fanning but the objective was to be able keep the low and high strings tuned in fourths below and above the regular set of six strings. A 9 gauge string is used for the high "A" and breaks only once in a while.
