8-String Guitar Pickups

Expand your tonal possibilities by unleashing the vast potential and crushing lows of an 8-string guitar.

These are the ultimate tools for players looking to explore new tunings and fresh, heavy sounds. Packing an additional low F# and B string (in standard tuning), these beasts let you produce heavy djent chugs, expansive chord voicings and unique, complex riffs that’ll take your sound to places a 6-string just can’t reach.

Notorious favourites of metal innovators like Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders, 8-strings are built for boundary-pushing players. The whole instrument is purpose-built to make the most of all 8 strings, with extended scale lengths, high-output pickups and often featuring multi-scale necks, guaranteeing you the best intonation, feel and massive tone.

Brands like Ibanez, Schecter, Music Man and BC Rich lead the charge, offering sleek designs and premium hardware built to handle everything from brutal breakdowns to intricate solos. If you’re looking to redefine what’s possible with your sound, an 8-string is your next step forward.

We also stock a couple of acoustic 8-strings from Alvarez, providing versatile instruments for intricate playing and exciting tunings with gorgeous acoustic resonance.
