Title pretty much says it all. Ideally an AF-207 or something similar (single-pickup archtop) with 7 strings. I'd prefer not to spend any more than $1000, but never say never.
Not sure what I think about the Pluto. My first impression is that those bulbous horns coupled with the more shortened overall scale that comes with a headless design make it look like of cartoonish. But I think with the right woods and colors it might look much better.
Wow that’s a real let down. :( Every time something expensive is shipped internationally I always get paranoid; sorry that the lightning struck for you.
Eh, looking around on reverb etc I've found plenty that sold for below $700 (ex, ex, ex, ex), so I don't think it's an unrealistic price. Also I'd expect the reintroduction of the new models to lower the price point of the older ones, due to less scarcity and the fact that they're in better...
How much did that set you back, out of curiosity?
Given the choice I'd probably pick the older model. Kind of want one that's beat up, haha. But, I've seen the pics of the new models and they sure are pretty.
Oh, I hadn't heard that, that's great to know! Well, I'm still on the market for one -- I really like the way the white looks when aged, compliments the old-school vibe :) But yeah, if nothing comes up, then maybe I'll snag one next year.

I really liked the K7 that I had a while back, and from the picture you posted the height looks pretty normal, so I'm skeptical of the idea that there's some kind of systemic issue with the model. Sounds like he identified a "problem" that you had never noticed yourself. Do you think the guitar...
I don't have the right kind of ruler to measure the action. I might be getting one at some point, but all I can say right now is that it's super low, and like you said effortless. I'm no master shredder by any means but it's definitely the easiest guitar I've ever played. The neck and frets are...
Yeah it doesn't look as large when put in context. Looks gorgeous! :)
I emailed Simon about getting another guitar in the pipeline; I'm on his notification list now for when he has new spots opening up. Seems like it's going to be a bit of a wait :lol: he mentioned that he's going to have some...
