I bought the C8 from proguitarshop. They are friendly and fast.
As for the bridge - I suppose you can order from Hipshot direct or search Ebay.
Playing an 8 is a jump... the extra string really makes it different. I'd think going from 6 to 7 is pretty natural honestly. But to 8... it took me a few months to get comfortable with it. I'm still trying to get used to it. You can't use your thumb as a support (well, you CAN lah but it's uncomfortable) when doing monster bends. It's a shift to a sort of classical left hand positioning too.

Because you JUST don't know? Just like I don' know if my Schroeder will sound good or not?
prototype - google for proguitarshop.
Go try a 7 string. There's no need to fulfil a bunch of technical requirements (e.g. I suck @ 6 how can I go to 7?!?1!!), just the need for things to help make music.
And Whitestrat sir, you are totally right. It's paranoia I tell you... a crippling paranoia.

Nah... not really. C'mon. If I could get a stock Gibson Standard which began as so-so to sound totally amazing, I'm sure we can tweak your Oni if the tones are less than stellar. As long as it sustains well, unlike my ex-S7.

This is quite an informative thread on 8-stringers. I've been considering the C-8 myself, coming from having a Hellraiser. But Rondo's 8-string line is extremely tempting. Wonder whether anyone here had a chance to try it? Its as cheap, if not cheaper than a Schecter which to me is pretty astounding, reviews seem to be good as well.
