Now he says the US List price is down to $2000. That's a bit better.

That is the same list price for the RGA321, and they are 1449.99 street, so I guess it would be around there.
Ah great. Now I can start ranting about how guitars are so much more expensive in Europe.![]()
Awesome!And bloody good for Marten and the boys! They deserve the recognition, they've been at it long enough.![]()
I spoke to the Canadian distributer today, and I was quoted the MSRP at $2799 CDN.Of course I'll be getting it for much less, but still that is pretty steep. Should be about $2000 street. Thank Christ it comes with the J-Craft case as well. I also confirmed that mine is the official first Canadian order, and that I should have it in my hands by March, maybe even late Feb.
My immediate next call was to Conklin and snagged the last M8 bridge he had until about May.
I'm stoked...![]()
The EMG 808s might also have something to do with the cost as they're a new pickup.
I'd be surprised if it was $1900. If you look at the prices we Europeans pay for other guitars, you'll see that a guitar usually costs a lot less in the USA.
Example: Ibanez RG1570
Musicians Friend: $749
Thomann.de (about the cheapest shop in Europe): 825€ (>$1000)
^ I don't think so Ishan.
Ibanez it's not going to sell a guitar that sounds like shit for that money, and - with 8 string.
I think that they did something strange with EMG products, and they pups make the guitar sound exellent.
Ishan you have to try it to have some sound opinions.

aren't they stock emg bass pups?
They've been prototyping this guitar for a while, so i'd expect they've chosen basswood for a reason. Now, to be honest, with EMG's you could use fucking balsa wood and it still sound like every other EMG equipped guitar. So I really don't think wood choice will make much difference. Besides, don't like it, then get a replacement body made for it. People, if you want one of these then I'd advise not waiting too long to make up your mind, as there may not be a large run of these.Basswood body?!!? WTF?! This is not what I expected, basswood is crap, too neutral for those EMG. It's going to sound totaly dead!
See the latest 8s Mike Sherman was working on? I've permanently passed on Ibby, thank you.
Here is the 27.5" , 32 fret 8 string. I just have to drill a few holes and she`s ready for the spray booth.
