FS Emerald Carbon Fiber 7-String Acoustic

[Jim Soloway]

EDIT: One correction on the original listing. It's a Hiscox case, not a Calton. The Hiscox is also a superb case. Sorry about the error.

For those of you who hang on the 7-string forum, this is the fiber carbon acoustic I bought a few months ago. I don't know why I keep buying acoustics. I play them for about a week and end up putting them in my closet where they sit unplayed. I'd rather have the cash than a guitar that just sits there not being played.

This comes with a fantastic Calton case.

$1350 includes surface shipping in the US.

Here's a short recording and a couple photos.

Oh man... if it were a tad cheaper and put up for sale 2 months from now...

I'm in the market for an accoustic 7, but this one's a bit too much ...

Jim you're a madman, and your chops are stellar

 

[Leon]

:wow:

my thoughts exactly.

Jim you're a madman, and your chops are stellar

My wife reminds me about my madness almost daily, so I'm not likely to forget.

As for my chops, I actually feel like I've been backsliding for a while but I'll say thank you anyway.

man that reminds me of a rainsong, but in 7... wish i had the money for that, i'd snatch it up, but luthiery school is much more important right now(which i'm having a blast at)

 

[kovachian]

Damn that is hot. I have a hard time finding any 7 string acoustics and then this comes along at a time when I don't have the money. Just my luck.

 

[eleven59]

Wow, that's...wow...

 

[noodles]

Damn...

Acoustic interludes would make your already badass band even more so, good sir.

While I agree with you - and thank you for the compliment - I don't think I can sell $1400 worth of acoustic on that, especially when I already *own* a nice 6 string, and can borrow Dave's Martin, another friend's Taylor, and several Taks.

It's pretty, though, and I love all-graphite guitars.

 

[Drew]

Damn, well, at least i tried.

Are the frets stainless and glued-on (tangless)? Fretboard is carbon fibre or carbon/glass composite?

Make the price < $1000 and I'll snap it up in an instant.

The dough's a bit short right now.

 

[Jim Soloway]

It's still available and still sitting unplayed in my closet.

You're just trying to get me divorced, aren't you?
