Mikey D Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I now know the true meaning of being a poor music student...up for sale is my pride and joy: Completely handmade in Chapel Hill N.C. USA by Wes Lambe Custom Built 8S FOR SALE! This is the only one in the UK and I have to check, but I also think Europe, if not outside of the USA! [list] [*]Hand carved top & body contours [*]Walnut body [*]Carbon fiber reinforced Birdseye Maple neck w/2 way adjustable truss rod [*]Rosewood fretboard w/abalone dot fret markers [*]Ebony peghead veneer (Front & back) [*]Gotoh tuners [*]Fanned-fret®* Fanned-fret®(Built under license by Novax® Guitars)- fretboards incorporate multiple scale lengths for improved tuning, tone, and feel [*]Genuine bone nut (2 3/16" nut width) [*]Separate bass and guitar outputs [*]Bass pickups: Bartolini 8S's [*]Guitar pickups: Seymour Duncan "JB" bridge & "Jazz" neck [*]UV-cured urethane polyester finish [*]TKL Hardshell case w/plush interior [*]D'Addario Strings [Flatwounds on guitar strings] [*]Added brand new Real Leather worn look Strap [/list] If you wanted to get one of these (guitar+shipping+VAT+import tax) it would set you back about $3350, so at current exchange that's about £1675. This one is near mint except for a small dent on the upper bout where your arm rests over the guitar, so you can't even see it. Although as the finish is urethane, an experienced repairer could re-finish this so the guitar is as brand new. The build quality as as good or better than I have ever seen from a builder. The wood grains, parts, build and finish, everything about this guitar is amazing. If you need to know, it is tuned E-A-D-a-d-g-b-e and if you want to hear it you can goto youtube and look for the videos my funkyniblet (me). I am aware that this is quite a niche product but in the short space of time I have had it, many people have been interested in it, so I thought I would post here first just in case. I'm here to answer any questions. If you want to come and try it out leave me a message or PM me. I'm looking for £1350 plus courier, or local pickup. I may be able to organise delivery within the Midlands Area. I can't bear to sell it, but I also cannot justify not eating when I own a beautiful guitar of this value. As soon as I sort my finances out, I will buy another one of these without delay. It is truly a work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
