Fast XF8!!

[Hollowway]

Should be here soon! He emailed me a couple of days ago. No new photos, but I'll keep you guys posted!

 

[Hollowway]

Update! Pretty much done! He's going to have it reviewed, and then it's off to me! Whoohoo! I gotta say, if it plays even half as good as it looks, I'm in for a real treat.

<3 <3 <3 that guitar is pure sex

 

[Mattykoda]

Damn that's a beast!

 

[MoonJelly]

truly lovely.

 

[jephjacques]

That thing is bonkers and i mean that in the best possible way

 

[Bdtunn]

WOW!!

 

[big_aug]

Looks awesome. The burst isn't blended very well behind the bridge though. Looks like it's outlined instead of a nice transition. That's nitpicking. It just popped out when I looked at it though.

Very cool.

I'm sad that the "holy" smiley thing doesn't work anymore, cause it's the only appropriate response. That looks insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanely good.

Daaaamn!

You guys, Kevin has another one of these that the original client has backed out of. I'm not 100% sure if it's still for sale (it was as of earlier today), but get on FB or contact him in some way. It's not the same specs or finish, but it's a flamed maple top and brown stain. And....only $1500! I'm trying to resist buying that one too, since it's such a killer deal. Someone get it and stop me!

dude you need to hire me as your guitar tester, like how kings had taste testers to make sure things weren't poisoned. i'll make sure your guitar are fully sick

Hahaha, you might be on to something - not so much a tech, more of a safety measure!

Stupid question, but does it come with a case? I don't think you'll be able to find an 8-string Explorer case anywhere!
*Edit* Rondo Music (Agile) makes a case to fit their 8 string Explorer that may actually work

 

[Hollowway]

Yeah, he said it would, so presumably he's got one for it.

 

[jeremyb]

OHHH MANNN!!!! That thing is freakin amazing!

i like yours better...especially the fret board, but the other one is still a killer looking axe and at a bargain if it plays as nice as it looks.

I have a few friends in prog bands who use 8 strings, I told them about this. Mainly because if one of my friends buys it, I'll get to try it out

 

[Spicypickles]

Sorry bro, I dig the brown better :0

 

[RLG167]

I think if the burst wasn't as sharp it would look a bit cleaner. It looks great now, just my 2c
