PHILIP WOODFIELD 8 String 2017 Spruce/Bog Oak


Here is an oustanding example of Philip Woodfield's exemplary lutherie skills. Anyone in the market for an eight string guitar could hardly do better than play this Woodfield. It is very easy to play and with the cutaway it is easy to reach the higher frets. It has a beautiful tone and plenty of volume. 8 string guitars are becoming more popular so here's a chance to acquire one from a top British luthier without have to wait a very long time on Philip's waiting list.

If anybody feels uncertain about playing an eight string guitar for the first time then you can try removing the 7th string. The guitar will then feel very easy to play as a standard six string straight away.
Having become comfortable with that, then finding the 8th string also can be worked on and, once you feel confident with that, replacing the seventh
