Looks pretty cool! Single EMG 81X in the bridge (and at the correct spot!), a nice seafoam green, and a roasted maple neck. It's a Harley Benton so it'll be like $2. Might grab one as a dumb riff stick.

I'd never get it but I must appreciate such a simple (and comparatively cheap) instrument, an 8-string multiscale Jazzmaster no less, even being made and offered.

I'm not a fan of Andrew Baena's music or even really 8 strings, but I kind of want one of these if they're cheap enough.

My only real concern about this would be a double thicc neck. I've played a few harley davidsons and their necks were always thiccer than I liked. One of them to be fair was about the cheapest guitar they offer and the neck must have been close to a full inch like a warmoth boat neck.

Have they slimmed down or are they still using tree branches?
