Info
I hate to do this considering all the months I spent waiting for the parts to come in to upgrade and customize this beast, but I really have no choice. Although I am in love with its tone now w/ the Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat 8, the look with the custom african marble pickguard, and how it plays, unfortunately my fairly small hands and this neck just don't get along. I'm okay for a while but after about 15-20 minutes I get this horrible sharp pain in the nerves on the side of my hand. It would seem 8-strings and myself just aren't going to work out.
For background and details on this guitar, check out the thread I made here. Basically, this guitar essentially has been babied and is still in its original condition (save for the mods). I bought it a few months ago and it sat in its case unplayed while I waited for the schematics and materials to be completed and shipped. I just got this done a few days ago.
The guitar has Elixir NanoWeb 9-12-16-24-32-42-52-68 and of course has the Bare Knuckle Pickups 'Cold Sweat' handmade pickup in the bridge. The african marble pickguard was custom made by Pickguard Paradise in New York to my specs. Any prospective buyer who loves the concept but maybe not the specific pickguard I opted for can save a lot of money/legwork since they have the RG8 since they have the template saved now.
Price
$1375.
I'm really just going to try to make most of what I put into it back. The guitar costs $1799 new and I put in about $325 in upgrades (not including labor).
Shipping/Policies/Etc
I'm open to ship to Canada, Europe, or anywhere somewhat civilized and I'll accept most forms of payment. I can accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Bank Wire, etc.
Trades
I *will* entertain trades, trades + cash, etc. I'll listen to any offer, but generally I'm interested in 7-strings, Parker Flys, Caparisons, PRS, high-end tube amps, etc. That said I much prefer to sell it outright so I can order more stock for my biz.
