Now it makes more sence, to me.

The 30" scale length is giving this huge neck....a rather long and "slim" appearance. I really like the look of it.

Not sure though what this longer neck will have of advantage over a 27" neck.

1 thing really-amazing tone!! high tension sounds brilliant, i think thats why fatter strings sound better, but i definetely think that whenever i play longer scale guitars back to back with shorter ones ive always been impressed with the tone and the harmonics, man they SING!!

It's 32" actually.

Has anyone listened to Catch 33? Because there's a part on track 7 i think where the guitars do a sudden whammy dive bomb. Any ideas?

I have it and I LOVE it, I'm a HUGE Meshuggah fan... I think its a bass for that part, just used a bass and tuned down to an extreme point! lol, I'm pretty sure its Fredrik who is doing that part, either that or he/they (Fredrik and Marten) used a whammy with the dive bomb setting to get that low. Thats my idea about that.

More likely a detuned baritone 7-string with tremolo.

No, I read and listened to an interview with Marten, they only used 8-strings in Catch 33, so its gotta be like I said an 8 with a trem (maybe) or a really low tuned bass.

If it has got trem then they got a new one since the other has a fixed Edge.

I'd wager Fredrik either added it in post-production or actually detuned the string using the machine head.

Yeah, rather that than using an 8-string trem, since they don't own 8-strings with trems.

In the demo-video Mårten Hagström did for it, he says it's 32".
