Hey guys! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with a brand new episode of Meet the Machines! On today's video, i'm bringing you along on a musical odyssey for my first week with an 8 string guitar! I've played 7's for years, but this Skervesen Raptor 8 is a totally different animal! 26-28 inch fanned fret design, Bare Knuckle Nailbomb pickups, a dreamy neck profile, and so much more.

In this video, i'll give you details on the specs of the Skervy, my tone tips and overdrive/boost recommendations to tighten up your tone, my observations on scale and chord extensions using the 8th string, Animals as Leaders / Tosin Abasi-style thumping demonstration, obligatory Meshuggah riffs, and a whole lot more! Its been a super fun week with this thing, and i'm excited to share it with you!!!
