Are 8 string resos supposed to have an 8 string spider?

Michael Lester · From: Illinois, USA

I have an 8 string reso that has a 'clunky' low string.

Trying to explore why, I note that the bridge inserts overhang the spider channel on both ends by roughly 1/4".

I'm sure that the spider in this guitar is the same dimensions as a 6 string version.

Should this have been a wider 8 string spider?

Is there such a thing?

No. The spider is the same. The bridge inserts will be wider although the string spacing will be narrower than your typical 6 spring spacing.

Sometimes, it's the string. I had a clunk and .003 more fixed it.
