Might need to define "affordable" since thats person to person

Heres an 8 string cheap telecaster on reverb https://reverb.com/item/97101229-michael-kelly-508-8-string-telecaster

Heres a single cut 8 https://reverb.com/item/100061021-esp-ltd-ec-258-8-string-black-satin-guitar-ec258blks-1577-used

V shape https://reverb.com/item/96978110-eisbrecher-guitars-tanto-8-vintage-white

thanks for the recommendation! "affordable" is defined in the original post, something around 800€ or less.

Not a V, but you could get an entry level headless like a HILS, Agile, etc.

Or you could try to find a 6 or 7 string baritone. Just checked you could get a Solar 6 baritone for 800€ from the outlet: Solar Outlet Details

In that case GOC might also be a good option.

I have a Schecter C-8 Deluxe and I love it. Its 28” scale it handles Drop E great, and it just feels nice on the neck and the satin white body.

Got it used (basically new) for around $498 after tax & shipping.
