Impulse 8-string?
« on: May 14, 2018, 12:00:28 AM »
Apologies if this has been addressed; I did a Search and couldn't find an answer.

Are there any plans for an 8-string version of the Impulse? It seems like such a natural fit, I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet. Any news I've missed?

None that I know of.

The Black Hawks have been around since 2012 or so and there is no eight-string version of that either.

I just think that the number of these pickups that would be sold in 8 string would be so small that there is no point making the baseplates, blades, bobbins, etc

Wow, didn't think about it. I got a Fanfret I was thinking about swapping the stocks for Impulses or Ragnaroks... Plus they are slanted so I think they'll definitely be more expensive than the guitar itself, which is a cheap vietnamese Harley Benton
