Look what arrived, incredible soundmachine build by my friend Luthier Olav Loef, Finland.
OM/D size, 8 strings, fanfret. Do you notice the detail?

Oh my...

And a lefty, no less!!! 



Full review?

[Queequeg]

My goodness.
We don't see one of these every day!
And you're tuning this...how?

[Davy Vanthuyne]

Thanks.
The guitar has a Swiss sprucetop, Flamed ebony in back and sides.
650mm scale on treble side and 730mm scale on extended 8 string.
This guitar was send to me by the owner to give me the possibility of exploring the guitar.
For the moment 'Otto' is tuned in standard 8 string tuning. That's the easiest to start with.

Forgive me, but in my rather unsophisticated and parochial world, there is no such thing as 'standard 8 string tuning'.
Do you have a B(7) and G(8) below the 6th string E, or is it an A(2) and D(1) above the high E?

Sorry for the bad explanation, with standard I mean,

ebgDAE CG# or G or A
Now the guitar is tuned in ebgDAE + high f# and low A ( G# or G)

It works fine with DaDgad + high e and low A or A#
and with f# ebg DAE A#

Deciphering those tunings is hurting my brain...
