    Hey girls-guys:

    I´ve been looking for a 8 strings guitar library, something like Shreddage 2, with zero results at the moment. Anyone here knows any, you want to mention?

    thank you :dancing:

    Only 8? Or "8 or more strings"?

    There is "Poetic Guitar-8 Strings (PG8)"

    @ Arkitecht,

    '8DIO Epic Guitar' (VST-AU-AAX – Kontakt Instruments & Samples)
    "Danne used his custom 6, 7 and 8 string guitars in the sessions and played them through a variety of different amps and custom FX pedals."

    '8DIO Rhythmic Aura Vol. 1 “Acoustic”' (VST-AU-AAX – Kontakt Instruments)
    "Aura consists of over 540 organic arpeggiations coming in 10 different source categories created with source material from live orchestra, 7 and 8 string electric guitars..."
    ___________________________________________________________​
    ADDED AFTERWARDS :

    As the 'Standard Tuning' of a 8 String Guitar is as follows :

    8 String Standard Tuning : F# B E A D G B E

    why don't try to use a 'Pitch' Option to lower the 7th String ('B') (e.g. 'Shreddage 2' Library), till you get a 'F#' which then may correspond to the 8th String (even if the result can perhaps not sound as 'natural' as with a 8th String in 'F#').
    This suggestion should be applied when programming your stuff, of course, because if you do it in 'real-time', you guess that you'll not have both Strings : 'F#' and 'B' playable at the same time !

    I've been wanting something like this for a very long time as well.
    Unfortunately, the only current method i've found is as Studio555 mentioned by "tuning" Shreddage or V-Metal.
    Until someone decides to sample an Ibanez TAM100... devs if you're reading this... wink, wink :)

    8DIO Progressive Metal Guitar Collection.

    Give this one a try. I think it'll be right up your alley.

    Thank you all!

    8Dio progressive metal is really fun! And thanks for the suggestion Studio 555, I´ll give it a try.

    If anyone serves, I have been given to know acoustic 8Dio Steel String Guitar, it has low notes (lower than traditional 8 string guitar). The sound isn´t great (for me) but works fine.

    Looks like options are starting to turn up!
    Musiclab RealEight which seems to be an Ibanez model (unknown which one) & Orange Tree Samples should be out with a Schecter Banshee with Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups soon enough.
