I read this in an interview with
Dino Cazares today:
"You play an 8 string guitar sometimes, and you’ve been with Ibanez for a while. Do you work closely with them developing your guitars?
Yes. I’ve been with Ibanez for 11 years, and it’s been a great company. We’ll see what the future holds. I’d like to start my own guitar company, Cazares."
That could be interresting :-)
does not hurt with more 7 and 8 strings on the market
