Editing Eight-string guitar (section)

===Solid-body===
Solid-body eight string guitars are also used by many bands today. The construction of a solid-body eight-string guitar is comparable to that of seven- and six-string variants. The standard tuning (from low to high) is F{{music|#}}, B, E, A, D, G, B, E.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.guitarcasa.com/2014/02/17/8-string-guitar-tuning/|title=8 String Guitar Tuning - All You Need To Know!|website=GuitarCasa.com|access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref> Many prefer to tune the F{{music|#}} to a low E (E1), the same note as the lowest string on a four-string [[electric bass]] in standard tuning, and providing the guitar with a fuller sound by having three different E strings.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-10-08|title=List Of Most Common 8 String Guitar Tunings - Guitar Lessons|url=https://pickuptheguitar.com/list-of-most-common-8-string-guitar-tunings/|access-date=2021-02-03|website=Pickuptheguitar.com|language=en-us}}</ref> This tuning is equivalent to tuning a six-string guitar to [[Drop D tuning]].

Like the seven-string, the first mass-produced eight-string guitar was made by [[Ibanez]] guitars in Japan; the [[RG2228]]. {{fact|date=July 2018}}
