yes sir, went from a korean strat to a Custom 24 straight to this. truth be told I plan on using the seventh string a lot more than the eighth string, the eighth string (which, for me, so far is tuned to only F) is a tad bit too low to be a string to center my playing around (I prefer seven-string centric playing), but it will be interesting to incorporate for backing bass-y stuff and honestly I love the feel of the massive neck, compliments my huge hands / fingers nicely
also yeah, stock dimarzios don't come cheap. this thing goes for $2200 retail but I was able to snag it "used" for $1300. it's in damn near perfect condition though, apart from a loose locking nut but that doesn't impact anything at all.
That's a steal Your playing sounds pretty similar to mine, always fancied the extended ranges. Was it difficult to change between the two? I'm hopefully going from the Ibanez in my picture to an RG-8 or something. I've got fairly huge hands so will it be a difficult transition?
