Headless on a budget

[Ajb667]

I've been DYING to get a headless. 6 7 or 8 strings, i don't care, i play them all. Problem is, I'm not sure what i can get with my budget of under 1k. Any suggestions? I know i can't get a Vader, which sucks because they look fantastic.

Your best bet is a used Steinberger Synapse or Spirit. Or find someone selling a used Carvin Vader.

sorry, couldn't resist. Does fit the "budget" aspect though.

Well, you could do some very aggresive modding to a regular guitar using the saw from above and buying the hardware:

You could also build your own, though I think the investment in tools to build guitars would not be cheap anyway.

So yeah the only real option is to buy a used steinberger. They are pretty different from Kiesel vaders and strandbergs, but thats the only good way to get one for under 1000 bucks.

If you are truly crawing a headless guitar I would suggest that you get a job.

Barebones carvin Vader is just over 1k new for a 6er.

Or maybe i have a job but can't easily afford an expensive guitar because i have taxes and bills to pay?



I think im gonna shop around for a used carvin headless, instead of getting a cheaper, lower end one. Thanks!
