Wes Lambe S-8 8-string Solidbody Electric, 2008 [USED]

Here is a Wes Lambe S-8 8-string Solidbody Electric from 2008. 

Built in Chapel Hill NC, the S-8 8-String Multiscale pairs a solid Mahogany body with a quilted maple cap and a Maple neck with an Ebony multiscale or ‘fan fret’ fingerboard. On the treble side, the scale length is 25 inches, on the bass, 29 inches. The headstock is arranged with three bass tuners on one side, and five ‘guitar’ tuners on the treble side. For hardware, there are Gotoh tuners, and eight individual saddles placed for each string’s scale length. The lower saddles are selected to permit the much heavier gauge of a bass string. These instruments are wired in ‘stereo’, with two separate outputs, one for the ‘Guitar’ pair of Dimarzio pickups, and one for the ‘Bass’ side with Bartolini pickups. The original Alumitone guitar pickups are included in the case.

The Lambe 8-String Multiscale is a very well built instrument. This example is in good condition with minor wear chips, dings and scratches. 

This unique instrument offers a huge range of musical possibilities and includes the original hardshell case.

More From The Builder On The Wes Lambe 8-String Multiscale

“My stereo 8-string guitars are made so you can be a bassist and guitarist at the same time. Each side has a separate circuit with separate outputs. It is best to split the two frequency ranges so that the bass does not take up the full range of the speaker and muddy things up.
My 8 strings are 29″ (bass scale) and 25″ guitar scale with a 2 3/16″ nut width. I experimented with many different combinations of scales and widths, and found these to be the most comfortable to play for extended periods of time, with the best possible tone, and excellent intonation. I designed my stereo 8 string guitars from my own experience playing and performing with the instrument.”
