I've built an 8-string Les Paul shaped guitar!

I've built this 8-string guitar using only parts bought on AliExpress / DHgate. The only thing I built from scratch is the body, from a mahogany log that has been lying around in the house for 20 years. I paid 5€ for the pickups, 30€ for the neck and I can say I'm satisfed with the result.
This is an original piece of mine I called "Zatoichi", like the blind swordsman, for how it goes from stillness to action. Nothing to do with (the gorgeous) Kitano's 2003 movie.
I had this idea to tune the 2 lowest strings E and A, like the first 2 strings on a bass guitar (an octave below the two lowest strings on a guitar) so that I can use many common chord shapes simply moving one finger up and obtaining a deeper sound by having a bass that's actually one octave below.
Hope this can be useful to anyone interested in... more strings :D
