@Bagnet, nothing against chugging. I get what you're doing (figured the changes out during listening) but honestly that's some kind of stuff that doesn't hit me ;-). I find it impressive (and I've often worked with timesignatures that aren't 4/4 in the past or a lot of tempo changes during songs) but not that interessting. I like a lot of progressive stuff but I also got to have a way to weave some kind of progression and/or melody. My style of chugging, was/is more in the vain of Iced Earth or Pantera, God Forbid, Lamb Of God...if that can be counted as chugging ;-). I'll check the other stuff out.
That sounds like a damaged "knife edge" or post. Both can be replaced (even though Ibanez replacement parts are horrendously expensive...at least over here). Did you ever adjust the post height while the strings where under tension? That could damage these parts and lead to this behaviour.
I've tried 8 strings, and I've had the 7 string Ibanez for some years. And I really tried playing it (had some 7 string songs with my old band so I had to learn how to play the other songs on a 7 string) but it wasn't something I really enjoyed I must say. I haven't got the biggest hands and pulling off some stranger "jazz" chords while banging on stage was hard enough on a normal 6 string one, but on the 7...it hurt and wasn't fun at all. No probs while sitting though ;-).
Sadly I've never heard of Faith guitars before (but I'm mostly out of the loop whats cool now, most of my guitars were made in the 80s or early 90s except the Ibanez and I'm fine with them) but this one looks really nice! And the price seems to be OK as well. My acoustic looks a bit more "flashy"
