For some low-tuned, neck-break chugging, Trey has this 8-string Skervesen SkerveTEN 8. While it is a handful to hold in his fretting hand, it has a multi-scale, fan-fret neck (28"–26.5") to enhance ergonomics. Like the TL70, it has a swamp ash body, but it is equipped with a set of Bare Knuckle ’buckers—a Juggernaut in the bridge and Emerald in the neck. (If you’re a fan of drop-tuned guitars and Led Zeppelin then you gotta check out the video Trey made featuring this custom Skervesen 8-string where he tunes down a full octave.)
